### 4/5 — Not Free

*2024-02-09, version 2.1*

I don’t have any money, and you need money for this app.

### 2/5 — Geht so

*2019-05-12*

Es ist doof wenn man das Geld noch nicht bezahlt hat weil man dann sehr wenig machen kann und zum Beispiel in Rom wenn man da was ich möchte bei den Spielen dann kann man die nur die römischen Zahlen machen und wir hatten die noch nicht in der Schule und deswegen hilft es mir nicht so gut weiter und deswegen habe ich auch nur zwei Sterne gegeben weil ja es lohnt sich irgendwie nicht so deswegen benutze ich ja auch nicht so sein dann kommt lieber in meiner Mappe und im Buch nach

### 2/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2019-04-22, version 2.1*

This app is terrible. The only good thing about this app is that it has almost 0 ads. 
You can’t even learn much because you have to pay 1.99 to unlock one time period. But for some weird reason, the Middle Ages is 0.99. It’s not as exiting as it looks. You can only read 2 different sections of the period when you have a free trial

### 2/5 — Pretty poor

*2017-10-21, version 2.1*

Can’t do anything without making s purchase. Paid £4.99 to unlock all - pretty unimpressive for £4.99.

### 2/5 — Sehr schlechte deutsche Lokalisation

*2017-08-06*

mit vielen orthographischen und grammatikalischen Fehlern.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2017-07-27, version 2.1*

First of all, this app is not free.  You have to pay to even have access to anything.  Next the opening screen is ridiculous.  It is full of spelling and grammatical errors.   "Here you have and amazing world civilitzation game..." and that's just the opening sentence.  If I am going to purchase a game to teach my kids history, I feel that the app developers should at least have a grasp on the English language, which is apparent that they do not.  I hope these things get fixed and maybe I can write another review.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-05-08, version 2.1*

Complete waste of money. The app doesn't work, and I can't restore my purchases.

### 1/5 — 2 fautes d'orthographe dans l'accroche d'un titre educatif....

*2017-02-25*

Tout est dit! La honte!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2017-01-15, version 2.1*

The worst thing I ever downloaded, I just wasted my time and money on this thing that doesn't work

### 2/5 — Free trial

*2016-10-21, version 1.3*

This is not trap, it clearly states in the description that this is a free trial version of the full app. They have in app purchases if you want to buy the full content or a whole other app to download the full version. 

I'm glad they did this way so you can check it out before buying. I will not be buying this app because after going through the free version I noticed LOTS of typos- spelling and grammatical errors that could be really confusing and distracting for my child.

If you fix those and actually make the writing sound like someone who speaks the native language wrote it, then I would consider purchasing it, because it's a cute app otherwise.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2016-05-16, version 1.3*

This is one of the most interesting game on my phone. It is great education game. I think graphic is awesome. I can use it in anywhere or anytime i want. I will recommend it to all my friends and my family member.

### 1/5 — This really is for older kids

*2016-04-07, version 1.2*

First, there are a lot of grammatical errors so if your kid is reading this on their own they will be reading something that is riddled with errors. 

You do have to pay to play, which we did, but we really shouldn't have. It does say it's for kids 9-11 because you need to read everything. It's not much fun and you just read facts and then get quizzed later. That's the game or as much as we got through. My kid is 5 and I did like reading all the facts to her but the grammatical errors were annoying and this is not very interactive. I don't think older kids would like this either since it's just facts with cute pictures.

### 3/5 — Great app, terrible spelling and grammar

*2016-02-27, version 1.2*

I love this, it's really engaging in a fun way and somebody has really put a lot of effort in. However, I can't give it the 5 stars that I would have liked to as there are soooo many spelling and grammatical errors. I assume this is a case of translation from one language to another, but with a bit of tweaking this could be the best app on the web :)

### 1/5 — Not good

*2015-10-05, version 1.0*

I like the concept but on entering the pharaoh section the title was "what was the paroahs role?" Not good spelling for a kids app trying to teach them!!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-07-26*

Dommage. Une appli qui a l’air intéressante mais qui ne fonctionne pas. J’ai perdu mon argent

### 1/5 — Not what it seems…

*2026-03-16, version 2.1*

They say you can try for free, but you can’t. They make you purchase before you can actually see the product. Then after you’ve purchased, you realize that you were duped and it’s too late. I don’t have a four-year-old, but it is definitely not for four year olds. On each character photo that you click on it has one small paragraph if you’re lucky — sometimes it’s just a sentence. No videos or fun games. They aren’t really teaching history! I wish I could post screenshots to this review.

### 1/5 — First pay!

*2021-10-06, version 2.1*

Lol not even one or two free stories, you must pay first, if you don’t like it, we don’t care, you already paid…
Why Apple allows this?

### 1/5 — Lies

*2021-03-22, version 2.1*

*2021-02-05*

*2020-09-17*

Wenn man schon eine App freigibt dann schon von Anfang bezahlen 💰 als dann Mitten drin. Würde ich nicht weiter empfehlen!!!!

### 1/5 — Cheat

*2020-07-26, version 2.1*

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2019-07-07, version 2.1*

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2018-10-23, version 2.1*

### 1/5 — Todo es de pago

*2018-08-29, version 2.1*
