### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2023-05-01*

Too many ads and they’re very intrusive, not to mention the app drops sometimes

### 4/5 — Great app, needs editing

*2023-02-14*

A great presentation and interface, but many of the entries are indecipherable. I depend on the links, but some entries have none and lack enough info to figure out what’s being remembered. Given that, there’s nothing else that comes close. No bells or whistles, but solid.

### 4/5 — Nett - mit Luft nach oben 😌

*2021-09-01*

Nette App, nettes Wissen.
Die Ereignisse sollten jedoch ALLE chronologisch geordnet sein.
Die Links zu den Ereignissen funktionieren leider auch nicht immer.
Losgelöst davon: schön, dass es die App gibt 👍

### 2/5 — Content has not been updated in 10 years

*2021-02-27*

The newest content is from 2011.  I went out to buy the "non-lite" version to reward the developer, but that version also has reviews that the content is 10 years old.  Update the content, and I will gladly buy the app!

### 4/5 — Great app, needs editing

*2019-12-12, version 3.3*

A great presentation and interface, but many of the entries are indecipherable.  I depend on the links, but some entries have none and lack enough info to figure out what’s being remembered. Given that, there’s nothing else that comes close. No bells or whistles, but solid.

### 4/5 — Years

*2019-10-18, version 3.3*

I would like the option of having the most recent year first and then going back.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2018-05-01*

App keeps crashing when i open it

### 2/5 — Unmöglicher Hintergrund

*2017-10-14*

Wollte mittels der gratis Version testen und die App anschließend kaufen. 
Durch die Hintergründe kann man leider die Schrift nur sehr schwer erkennen.

### 3/5 — Updated History

*2015-06-22*

I like this app although I notice there is really no history after 2010. Even if something happened a year ago, it is historical and it should be in there. Maybe the app is not updated anymore?

### 4/5 — An informative and enjoyable diversion

*2013-12-16, version 3.0.1*

An very enjoyable app

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich

*2025-01-22*

Es gibt sehr viel Informationen aber diese sind unübersichtlich und manchmal auch unverständlich.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated

*2024-05-05*

No updated since 2011.  Please correct me if I’m mistaken.

### 1/5 — App stürzt ständig ab und schließt

*2022-12-10*

Keine Chance zu lesen 
Grau und weiß 
Weis auf grau
Beim Blättern schließt die App
Bei Wechsel des Ereignisses schließt die App
Ich habe sie jetzt gelöscht 
Gibt es eine kostengünstige Alternative???

### 1/5 — Too many ads!

*2021-01-02*

The ads make the app unwieldy on an iPad. Too much trouble to pursue content.

### 1/5 — Forced games

*2020-05-15*

This app has become unusable on my (older) iPad.  On opening is defaults to opening some kind of game, but the game never loads and there is no way to X out of it. 

Disappointing because I have enjoyed the app for years.

### 1/5 — Schlimm

*2020-02-29*

Kein Vergleich mit dem früheren geschichtskalender, der nicht mehr aktualisiert wurde.

### 1/5 — Unzufrieden

*2019-12-12*

Gelöscht

### 1/5 — Nichts zu gebrauchen

*2018-12-30*

Habe gleich wieder gelöscht

### 1/5 — Deleted within 1 minute

*2018-05-29*

As soon as I opened the app I received two pop up adds for Audible.

### 1/5 — Out of date

*2017-12-26, version 3.3*

Why does it only show up to 2010? Stuff did happen after that you know! Desperately needs updating!

### 5/5 — Nützlich um mal was zu lernen

*2025-01-01*

Endlich eine App um was zu lernen, die Perspektive und Bildung zu erweitern...
Sehr gut! Weiter so!!!!

### 5/5 — Ohne Schnickschnack auf Geschichte fokussiert!

*2024-08-12*

Kann ich für Wissensdurstige für Geschichte
empfehlen.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-05-15*

Jeden Tag ein paar Infos auf kürzestem Weg ohne viel zu suchen.

### 5/5 — Adding a timeline

*2023-12-26*

It would be great if you guys add a timeline, everything else is great especially for history events but a timeline would do it for sure.

### 5/5 — Éphéméride intéressant

*2023-01-07, version 3.5.0*

Très sympa.

### 5/5 — Options

*2021-03-21*

Great app and good history source to get someone thinking. Could you add a birth or death collection of people who use your app,it could last for say 2 years and we could pay for it. It would be fun to see your own name on your birthday collection and also a good source of revenue. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Gute Recherche

*2020-07-24*

Interessant und informativ

### 5/5 — Meilleur appli de tout les temps indispensable

*2019-11-12, version 3.3*

Indispensable

### 5/5 — Every day use!

*2018-12-27*

Use this app everyday to keep in the know

### 4/5 — Schöne Kalendersicht auf Events in der Vergangenheit.

*2025-07-21*

Interessant und die Verlinkung zu Wikipedia ist gelungen. Was fehlt ist die Möglichkeit die Zeitachse umzudrehen.
