Place iconic events, legendary figures, groundbreaking inventions, and chart-topping hits in the correct spot on the timeline.
Do you know if the iPhone came before Pokémon Go? Or how Rock ’n’ Roll stacks up against the Renaissance?
Krono turns curiosity into competition — and learning into play.

Simple, Fast-Paced Gameplay:

### 5/5 — Enjoy this little game! Hope to be playing every morning from now on :)

*2026-07-23*

See above lol

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-02-11*

Brilliant App!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much SamJai7! Might not feel like a big thing for you – but every nice rating and review warms a developers heart.

See you in Krono!

Daniel @ Krono

### 2/5 — Fun but not free

*2026-02-09*

You get a few games at the start but then it requires you to pay a subscription or purchase more tickets to continue playing. 

The games are great but would be way better if even you could play like 3 a day or something for free and then purchase for unlimited for example

Allow tickets to recharge after a certain period instead of forcing players to purchase subscriptions or more tickets when it’s advertised as free to play. It’s basically a trailer as a game

**Developer response:** Hi Robtopcat! Thank you for the feedback — glad you find the games great!
Just to clarify a few things: the Daily Challenge is completely free to play every single day, no tickets or subscription needed. New players also receive 20 free tickets to try out the other game modes — so there's quite a bit of free play available from the start.

As a solo indie developer, I've made a conscious choice to keep Krono completely ad-free. I really dislike ads in games, and while they can make things feel "free," you end up paying with your attention and privacy instead. That's a trade-off I didn't want to make for my players.
If you do want unlimited play beyond the Daily Challenge, the subscription is priced to be very affordable — and there's also a lifetime purchase option that's cheaper than most board games you'd buy in a store, with the added bonus that Krono is constantly updated with new questions and content.

That said, I hear you — and I'm actually looking into a way to let players replenish tickets without needing a subscription. So stay tuned!

I appreciate the honest feedback though — it sounds like I need to do a better job communicating what's included for free. Thanks for playing!

All the best,
Daniel @ Krono

### 2/5 — US oriented

*2026-02-07*

It might have got a 4 star rating if I was American - nice concept but highly America-centric. Also found a couple of inaccuracies.

**Developer response:** Hi King_Charly! Thank you for the feedback. It’s true that when it comes to music and movies, Krono can lean more American — I think that’s somewhat inevitable given the global dominance of Hollywood and the US music industry. That said, the majority of our history questions actually have a strong focus on European and British history. I always want to have more diversity so I’ll definetly work on having a better balance of questions from all over the world. 

And if anything, you might notice a slight Swedish bias sneaking in here and there — perks/symptom of having a Swedish creator (me)! 😄

As for the inaccuracies you found — I take that very seriously. I’d really appreciate it if you could send them to hi@kronotrivia.com so I can get them corrected. Thanks again for giving Krono a try!

All the best,
Daniel @ Krono

### 5/5 — Fun and quick!

*2026-01-20*

Just one puzzle a day, which, without cheating, takes less than 2 minutes. Compare how you fare to people from all over the world, if that’s your thing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the rating and the review! See you in Krono. :) 
Daniel @ Krono

### 2/5 — Tickets

*2025-02-15*

No way to get more free tickets. They want you to pay. Why not watch ads like other apps?

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! You raise a good point about ads - it's definitely a common model in many apps today.

I chose a different path with Krono. As an independent developer making this trivia game, I wanted to create an experience completely free from ads and tracking. While watching ads for free play might seem convenient, it usually means trading your privacy and personal data instead of money.

Krono is designed to be privacy-focused - we don't track you or sell your data. The Daily Challenge is always free, and for unlimited play across all modes, it's just $2/month (cancellable anytime). I believe this is a fair price that helps keep Krono running while respecting your privacy.

I'm working on this passion project as a solo developer, competing against much bigger companies in the trivia space. Every subscription truly helps support our small indie game's future development.

I appreciate you giving Krono a try and sharing your thoughts. It helps me understand what players value and expect. 

Kindest regards,
Daniel @ Krono

### 5/5 — Fun and quick!

*2024-11-19, version 1.4.7*

Just one puzzle a day, which, without cheating, takes less than 2 minutes. Compare how you fare to people from all over the world, if that’s your thing.

### 5/5 — Jeu qualitatif

*2024-11-18*

Un jeu de très bonne qualité, ça se sent dans l’interface, é revanche, vous gagneriez beaucoup de fans si vous traduisiez tout ça en français et autres langues. Je rajouterai l’étoile qui manque lorsque ce sera fait. Sinon, j’ai assez vite craqué pour l’achat unique à 22€, qui me dispense d’abonnement, j’apprécie beaucoup de voir cette proposition dans la boutique car je n’ai rien contre le fait de payer un jeu mais j’ai horreur des abonnements. Merci à l’équipe continuez comme ça, et vivement que le jeu soit traduit ce serai tellement chouette !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre gentille critique et pour avoir soutenu Krono avec votre achat ! Vos commentaires sur les traductions sont tout à fait pertinents. J'aimerais beaucoup rendre Krono disponible en français et dans d'autres langues - c'est définitivement dans mes projets.

En tant qu'équipe d'une seule personne (oui, c'est juste moi !), j'ai commencé par l'anglais et j'ai soigneusement créé plus de 2 000 questions jusqu'à présent. Chaque question est recherchée et rédigée pour être à la fois éducative et engageante. J'explore actuellement des moyens économiques de traduire tout ce contenu tout en maintenant le même niveau de qualité et d'exactitude historique auquel s'attendent les joueurs de Krono.

Votre appréciation de l'option d'achat unique me touche beaucoup. Je partage personnellement votre frustration de voir que tout semble nécessiter un abonnement de nos jours. En tant que développeur de jeux, je comprends l'attrait d'un revenu régulier que procurent les abonnements, mais je voulais m'assurer que les joueurs puissent profiter de Krono sans le fardeau d'abonnements permanents.

Merci encore d'avoir pris le temps d'écrire une critique aussi réfléchie. C'est grâce à des retours comme le vôtre que Krono s'améliore !

/Daniel @ Krono

### 5/5 — Great Fun (but so very humbling)

*2024-10-21, version 1.4.7*

I hope history will remember this game as well as it remembers history. Or something. Hey Siri, make that sound better

### 5/5 — Excellent Game!

*2024-07-30*

I really enjoy playing this every day. The facts I learn are so interesting and often things I’d never thought about before.

**Developer response:** Hi Parentof3Terrors! You know when a sometimes you have a slump and you start thinking “what’s the point really…”? 

In my case I have these thoughts from time to time when it comes to Krono. It’s hard getting traction and have people notice your game (and labor of love). But then you get this kind of review and THATS why I’m doing this. 

You made my day with your review and this is exactly what I wanted with Krono: having players comeback for a short time everyday and also hopefully learn something new or spark a curiosity around an event, invention or person. 

Thanks for the review, hope you’re doing well and see you in Krono!

/Daniel - Parent of 2 Terrors
