## What is Roadside History?

Ever wonder what those history markers along the side of the road say, but you are too busy to stop? Well, now you can read all these markers from the comfort of anywhere and at anytime right on your iPhone or iPad. You can view all the markers from each state (all 50 states supported) and read their full inscription as well as view photos of the marker and/or surrounding area. Since there are so many markers, we keep track of which ones you've already read; you can even create a filter to not show those anymore. Each marker also belongs to any number of categories, so if you are only interested in markers related to the Civil War, for example, you can show only those. We allow you to favorite the markers you particularly enjoy.

With our app, exploring history has never been more accessible. Dive into the stories behind the markers, uncover hidden narratives, and build your personal collection of favorites. Your next historical adventure is just a tap away!

### 1/5 — App overlaps screen

*2026-01-02*

Can’t even use settings because the app is way to large for the screen, you can’t see any content around the outside edges of the app, I, example, in settings you can only see the last few letters of the words because the first half of the letters are outside of the screen I hope I explain that correctly, but anyways, I can’t use it cause I can’t even set the settings

### 1.2 — 2026-01-04

This version has some UI tweaks to look better on all devices, included those running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26

### 1.1 — 2025-01-04

We added the ability to reset the viewed status of your markers. Every time you tap on a marker to see its details, we set the marker as "viewed". If for whatever reason you want to reset a marker back to its unviewed state, you now can, and we let you do it with three levels of granularity:

1. an individual marker. You can toggle the viewed button at the top of the marker details screen
2. all markers in a state. You can choose this in the Settings tab, under the Markers group
3. all markers in all states. You can also choose this in the Settings tab, under the Markers group

### 1.0 — 2024-12-12

No release notes.
