### 3/5 — A month behind

*2026-05-24*

The app is good per se - but its dates are a month behind …….again. This was a problem a while back and seemed to be fixed - but. It’s back to citing history a month prior to whatever date “today” is…. Births are a month behind again….

Events and births are one month behind.  Sept 1 is reporting on events and births that occurred on August 1……..

Update.  It’s great, but every so often it will just stop loading.  I haven’t been able to access it for two weeks now. Just sits in loading mode….

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

We understand your concern regarding the dates appearing one month behind, as well as the loading issue you’ve experienced. This is not the expected behavior, and we take it seriously.

Our team will review the date-sync logic and loading performance to identify and resolve any recurring issues. Please also make sure you are using the latest version of the app, as updates may include important fixes.

We appreciate your patience and thank you for helping us improve the app.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t Load

*2026-05-04*

Not worth it!
Don’t waste your money on this app. Most of the time it doesn’t even load.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand how frustrating it is when the app fails to load consistently or does not perform as expected. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we take these issues seriously.

Our team is actively working to improve stability and loading performance. Please also make sure you are using the latest version of the app, as updates often include important fixes.

We appreciate your input and thank you for helping us improve the app.

### 1/5 — Frozen

*2026-04-30, version 8.6*

The screen won’t change and stuck on a loading symbol with a blank screen. I’m sure the app is great but so far it’s not functional.

### 1/5 — Neglected history

*2026-04-24, version 8.6*

I use this app for a couple years with no issues then suddenly it started getting slower and slower to load. Now it’s to the point I can’t get it to load at all so I have to give one star. I’d give it zero if I could because I cannot use it.

### 1/5 — Don’t Download

*2026-02-04, version 8.6*

Doesn’t work

### 5/5 — It’s fine

*2025-07-24, version 8.6*

Stop asking for validation

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-04-02, version 8.6*

The app is horrible. Wikipedia is a lying app so why does it take me to that and then it doesn’t let you search so what if you need something that’s not what they already gave you this

### 1/5 — Wikipedia? Really?

*2025-03-31, version 8.6*

Opened the app and used it for ten seconds and saw articles you click on take you immediately to Wikipedia. Not interested.

### 1/5 — If the pictures indicate anything then it’s not a good look

*2025-03-28, version 8.6*

I was getting facts from Roman history with pictures of Abe Lincoln being assassinated or old western bandits. Made me question the quality of the information being provided.

### 5/5 — define big / older words

*2025-02-02*

I love this app but I wish I could learn the meaning of older and less common vocabulary terms used in the titles, instead of having to go to google every time

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! 😊 We're glad to hear you love the app. We appreciate your suggestion to include definitions for older or less common vocabulary terms, and we'll consider adding this feature in a future update. Thanks for helping us improve!
