User reviews

Learned so much!

The newest Jane Austen course is incredible! I learned so much about Jane’s time and her works, and the all of games kept me engaged! Can’t wait for the next course to drop!

So Fun (and Educational!)

I love these short dives into history and literature, and find that I always leave a lesson wanting to go read more. The sections are thoughtfully arranged to both educate and entertain, but also leave room for the user to think and question for themselves. I look forward to every new release, and am always surprised about how much I do, and do not, know on a subject when I begin. Highly recommended, and the perfect antithesis to doomscrolling.

New fave

This app is a delight! I look forward to every new lesson and find myself quoting the things that I’m learning (because they stick!) I also love that you they use real sources so I feel like I’m getting to sit deeply with the text, and leave each game a smidge smarter.

App is EXTREMELY loud

There is no way to change the volume of this extremely loud app. It doesn’t obey system “silent” setting, the mute toggle doesn’t do anything and even disappears. Completely insane for something be published without this feature

Response from developer

Fixed. We now have a "Read quietly" button and made the audiobook mode more obvious. We follow the same system and volume settings as Audible and Spotify. It's a noisy world out there, thanks for the feedback and sorry to add to the cacophony.

a delight

Makes me a history nerd. But let’s bring back the Socrates and Emerson???
