## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never received anything

*2026-05-13*

We never received a single magazine. I tried to get a refund and was refused and I just got a reminder that the subscription was expiring and that I needed to write a review. It’s a scam.

### 1/5 — Cancel subscription

*2025-09-11*

I have been trying to cancel my subscription. I canceled it last month, your website doesn’t show me an option for it. It’s wayyyy too expensive I can’t afford that. And when I got the app it said I didn’t have any account when I did for the website unless it’s the same thing. I know I respond back, I tried emailing but didn’t get anything back.

### 1/5 — Needs a major update.

*2025-07-31*

Very confusing on how to access codes; you would think they would automatically download once the code is entered. Also, nothing shows within the Library section, even after downloading the books. Not user friendly - will stick to the physical books for now.

### 1/5 — Does not recognize me

*2024-10-26*

So far I cannot access any of my purchases

### 2/5 — Not so accurate

*2023-05-21*

I love the concept and the illustrations, but some of the facts are not accurate. For example, we didn’t land on the moon. Yes, USA was engaged in a “space race”, but it’s painfully obvious that we faked the landing. It’s about time we start thinking critically and stop propagating false narratives like this. I homeschool my kids, and I was really excited to have possibly found “honest” historical content to teach them.. but much to my disappointment, it contains only partial truths. I don’t want my kids to grow up learning the same lies I grew up learning.

### 3/5 — Not so great— lacking diversity

*2020-11-21*

I was hoping from the title that honest history meant a fair account of the world — to balance the emphasis on western/Europe. But alas— this is just another account of the world from a European centric perspective— and one is about China. Hopefully this will change.

### 4/5 — I wish it didn’t have to pay for books

*2024-05-30*

I think that you should not have to pay for the book. When you already have to pay for the app itself

### 5/5 — Great app , educational & beautiful layout!

*2024-01-13*

Love this for my kids!

### 5/5 — honest History

*2021-03-29*

Honest history is amazing.
