### 4/5 — Please update

*2018-02-01, version 2.0*

Apps like these need to be supported. Please update

### 5/5 — Inspiring.

*2017-01-22, version 2.0*

I've been using this app everyday since I downloaded and I am consistently inspired and moved.

### 5/5 — Good source for queer history

*2016-11-24, version 2.0*

It's great to be able to get a little bit of queer history each day, something that's too often overwritten in our standard history books

### 4/5 — WONT SCROLL A LOT OF TIMES

*2016-09-23, version 2.0*

Love the app but please fix this problem cause I can't always scroll even when I refresh it

### 4/5 — Update the App

*2016-09-18, version 2.0*

Great information that I'm glad to have in my hands. It's helped me know more about our community and just how far back it goes. Please update the app to look better on newer phones and market the heck out of it. More people need to know about it, especially since so many of us are using our phones for information these days. Having this app in my hands, and receiving notifications everyday, helped reinforce what I had "heard" but wasn't sure - we've existed in all societies forever.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-09-01, version 2.0*

Queer history is so important and it's not taught in our schools. As a gay man I find this resource very informative and helpful.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!!

*2016-07-20, version 2.0*

Love the idea and well executed!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2016-05-18, version 2.0*

Great resource!!!

### 5/5 — Quist

*2016-04-02, version 2.0*

Important history made accessible and engaging. So glad this app is available to people worldwide.

### 5/5 — Simple the Best.

*2016-03-04*

This app is a joy to use! It's Simply the Best!

### 5/5 — A great daily reminder of LGBT history

*2016-02-23, version 2.0*

The app gives a daily dose of information on LGBT history. Often it leads me follow up to learn more about the topic. I've been using it since earlier versions, and the new features such as geographical search are great.

### 5/5 — Great content and design!

*2015-11-10, version 2.0*

Global perspective on historical and contemporary events in queer culture. Notifications sent in the A.M to start your day off right. I give it a Yaaaaas with five a's.

### 5/5 — Opened my eyes to our rich history!

*2015-10-15, version 2.0*

Incredible and inspiring stories of LGBTQ+ history are sent to me each morning. I somehow connect with each one. They all, the bad but more importantly the good, helped shape our shared experience today, which isn't so bad after all when put into this perspective. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-08-29, version 2.0*

Downloaded but could not open the app

### 1/5 — Nice idea if it would work

*2023-04-04, version 2.0*

I downloaded/deleted app twice and it said there was a problem updating. The first time I did not allow location services so the second time I did, but to no avail. Some buttons won’t actuate and other times I circle through the same screens about receiving notifications. I’m glad I didn’t donate a dollar towards the app although I believe that would have been so glitchy it would not have worked anyways. Site had links to some interesting products but then you can navigate back to the site.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-02-10, version 2.0*

Slowest app ever! Have to use this app for my gender studies class and I can't believe how frustrated I get whenever I use it. It freezes up and sometimes it closes itself. My other apps work just fine except this one

### 2/5 — Bad layout

*2015-10-08, version 2.0*

So the content is great. I love the facts and daily things. Buuuut the layout and app design is just.... Terrible. Glitchy and not the best.

### 3/5 — Amazing idea, awful presentation.

*2022-07-12, version 2.0*

I love the history and gathering of information, but the app severely lacks the ability to present it in a good way. The layout is awful with constant broken elements and pop up’s. It desperately needs a redesign.

### 3/5 — Love and frustration

*2016-06-28, version 2.0*

For the most part I love the app.  I am however experiencing some apparent bugs in the app.  One is the inability to share. Hoping a solution is forthcoming.

### 3/5 — I like this app but some minor issues

*2013-08-12, version 1.1.0*

I really like this app.  It is very informative but I am finding that when I log in on a different day that it doesn't update to the date you are logging into.  I checked it on 8/10 and it updated. I just checked it today 8/12 and the app is still showing 8/10.   Other than that small issue I love this app.  Thanks.

### 3/5 — Hello there!

*2013-08-09, version 1.1.0*

Great app!  My issue... I'm a person that likes to share info and when I share to Facebook it does NOT share the story of interest, only the app download page..  Big frown!  If you'd allow me to share the actual story then is be a happy MO!

### 3/5 — Good History

*2013-07-29, version 1.1.0*

There are some good things to read and learn. Errors in state list... States missing and duplicates with misspelling. Good start!

### 4/5 — Still Got It

*2024-08-17, version 2.0*

This is still provides excellent content. I check it every day as part of my morning routine. I wish the app itself were maintained. It keeps saying it can’t update itself.
