User reviews

pretty good but a little disappointed

I’ve been looking forever for an app to keep a master timeline for art history movements and periods which is when I stumbled upon this app. the real only big problem I have with this app is that it does not allow me to input a date that exceeds 9999. I’m sure the developers didn’t consider this, however, given that the app has a B.C. dating option, it would only make sense to allow me to input dates for things that are prehistoric. other than that I have no other major issues, but given that it is an app centered around history, I am disappointed by this dating issue

Response from developer

Ashweis, thank you for your feedback. The date limit is a current limitation of the platform we use for development. But we are looking at alternatives. Please keep an eye open for updates that may include this change.

Great organizational tool!

Great app for organizing history projects, clean presentation, easy to navigate.

Simple & Innovative

It’s very enjoyable to share timelines with my family!

Horizontal Timeline is Cool

I couldn’t find a horizontal timeline maker anywhere. And this one is really good.
