The quiz is easier to find — and harder to forget. - The quiz bar now shows your live progress ("Read 1 more to unlock") and lets you know the moment your quiz is ready - Optional daily reminder so your streak never dies of forgetfulness — you'll be asked after your first quiz - Watching an ad to unlock a date is more reliable, and tells you when ads aren't available - Smoother feed loading and general fixes under the hood

Caro, bem feito e sem dark mode

O aplicativo é extremamente bem feito, estiloso e faz um bom fetch das informações da Wikipedia. É caro, mas aí já é questão de pagar pelo trabalho do desenvolvedor. A pior coisa pra mim é a falta de modo escuro. O aplicativo tem o fundo branco #FFFFFF então incomoda a vista. Dark mode, por favor!

Search Feature not working

Enjoyable app, interesting history, however on iOS 15 the search feature doesn’t work. Let’s you plug in a date but always reverts to current day. Deleted and reloaded. Same. Plus day won’t change. I would literally have to reload app daily for it to work. Would rate higher if it worked.
