### 1/5 — Wikipedia für Anfänger?

*2025-02-05*

ich hätte erwartet, dass der Besitzer die Hoheit hat, ob und welche historischen Begebenheiten angezeigt werden und viel wesentlicher, eigene viel wichtigere Tage aus der Geschichte eingetragen werden können. Quasi ein eigener Geschichtskalender. Viele der vorhandenen Einträge interessieren nicht, und interessante Einträge aus der Sicht des Käufers der App fehlen.

### 4/5 — Great but annoying logo

*2025-01-22*

I like this app - it very straightforwardly does what it says on the tin. But please please give it a widget that shows today’s date instead of bizarrely always being stuck on June 27th!

### 4/5 — Super Idee. Ohne großen Schnickschnack.

*2024-08-12*

Einen Stern behalte ich jedoch, bis der Hintergrund überarbeitet wird und die Suche „brauchbar“ war. Einfach mal schwarz auf weißem Hintergrund oder umgekehrt, zu um die Lesbarkeit zu erhöhen. Und die Suche könnte z.B. eine Datumsangabe unterstützen. Dennoch empfehle ich die App an Wissensdurstige für Geschichte weiter.

### 5/5 — Later dates

*2024-03-27*

I enjoy the options that we have on your app, however it would be good if we could view more up to date stuff in events, birth & death columns

### 2/5 — Not working at all

*2023-06-23*

This app has never been updated and now it’s not working altogether

### 1/5 — This isn’t dependable

*2023-02-10*

This app has been dropping constantly lately and it’s never been updated.

### 4/5 — Informativ aber ausbaufähig.

*2023-01-25*

Ich staune immer wieder über neue Erkenntnisse über Geschichtsereignisse mit Hilfe dieser App.

Da ich aber schlecht sehe, vermisse ich die Möglichkeit, die Schriftgröße für mich optimal einstellen zu können.
Die Option einer hellenSchrift auf schwarzem Hintergrund wäre auch hilfreich.

Man könnte die thematische Gliederung der aufgezählten Ereignisse durch Überschriften noch deutlicher hervorheben. Beispiele: Politik, Wirtschaft / Erfindungen, Kultur, Sport…

### 1/5 — This isn’t dependable

*2022-04-26, version 3.5.0*

This app has been dropping constantly lately.

### 5/5 — Für Geschichtsinteressierte eine Bereicherung

*2022-01-15*

Endlich auch mal in deutscher Sprache. Bisher nutzte ich eine Englischsprachige. Da ist sehr viel Information geboten und durch die eingebundenen Links kann man ganz einfach weiter Infos abrufen. Auch die Einteilung in Themenbereiche ist gut für die Übersichtlichkeit. Für mich eine klare Empfehlung und 0,99 Euro sind mehr als fair! Danke!

### 5/5 — Schöne App!

*2021-03-29*

Wär es möglich für manche Ereignisse noch ein Foto hinzuzufügen?
