Quality app for quality writing!

Popcorn

I inherited a stack of History Today when my Dad died. I am hooked. The app suits me.
Tasty bite sized kernels that I think about and talk about all day long. I love it. Thanks BK. x

Subscribing helps

Evolving from 40-odd years of print issues to online, I still want access to HT as a resource.
Subscribing helps by giving access to all of current issues, not just bits. I also have access to the archive.
Pity the online search function does not go back 40 years.

Looking Back with Pleasure

The essays in History Today are both erudite and inviting. This journal was the first to which I ever subscribed, having first learned to love it many years ago thanks to the encouragement of my father-in-law, one of the two weekly book-reviewers for the New York Times. The essays are invariably interesting, well-written, and enjoyable. I learn a lot but also have fun. As scholar of the Renaissance I find myself learning lots and lots about other periods and the intellectual expansion is a pleasure. Don’t stop! Anne Lake Prescott

Content good, app has lost access to issues page

The content is very good, as it has been for decades. Something has gone wrong with the app on IPad making it unreadable - nothing appears on the 'issues' page.
