### 1/5 — Not functional

*2026-05-09*

I was totally excited about this but seems to have a major bug. It opens to black screen saying you have no timeline yet and there is no visible function to create one or add anything. On,y edit and it’s all grayed out since there is nothing to edit. In help window I get no response at all. I reinstalled 3 times and same. Too bad. Would be great if it worked.

**Developer response:** Please consider updating your response since the iPad issue has been resolved.

### 3/5 — pretty good but a little disappointed

*2025-11-28*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Great organizational tool!

*2025-11-20*

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

### 5/5 — Simple & Innovative

*2025-11-17*

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

### 5/5 — Horizontal Timeline is Cool

*2025-11-15*

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