### 5/5 — Thes app sucks

*2026-06-05*

It do not teach you enthing and you pay 1 dollar to learn nuthing

### 1/5 — Waste of money!

*2023-01-25*

Can’t even read anything because everything is pixelated on iPhone 7

### 1/5 — RIP off

*2019-08-29*

Total rip off.  Whizzed through in ten minutes.  Poor spelling.  Rubbish.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-01-14*

The amount of information on offer and the number of spelling mistakes makes this poor value for money. Tie that in with facts like ‘The Ancient Greeks came from Greece!’ and you’ll get an idea of what this app is like. It seems like you are getting a lot, but you can read through the information about each topic in 2 minutes.

**Developer response:** Dear Cleggems,

Kind regards,

### 1/5 — Not engaging for kids

*2016-03-12*

This is like a book....and a poor one at that.  Not engaging with very few activities and dry language.

### 1/5 — Rip off!

*2014-12-28*

First off, the graphics are horrible.  We bought the bundle of three--Vikings, WWI, and History of the World.  All three have crappy graphics, and for $11, you'd think they would have included a little more info on each subject.  They basically skim through each part--especially for the history of the world.  What a rip off! I wish I had never bought this app!

### 5/5 — History in nutshell!

*2013-10-26*

Perfect app for kids - concise and great graphics and music. Recommended by our family!

### 5/5 — History support

*2013-06-02*

Very helpful revision for ks3 history
