After spending $9.99 on all the export options, can you please fix the #1 export option ASAP?? ### 3/5 — Wonderful app - but not really supported. *2018-10-13, version 5.2.1* I love it. I use it mainly to record and remember important events of my life. If you do not need to record stuff older than 5.8 millions years BCE (for a project of Earth’s timeline, for example), then i highly recommend it. I just wished it was apply supported. Moving apps from/to iPad/Mac while maintaining updated local copies on each can (now) be done through iCloud but requires a few steps. Historically, it took many months to have both apps (iPad/Mac) compatible because the development team doesn’t seem to be large enough to work on both platforms at once. There are also still occasional crashes and quirks. ### 4/5 — Great program with HUGE flaw *2016-08-26* This program is a fantastic program for creating chronologies to use to lecture from. BUT it has a MAJOR flaw. There is no way to transfer documents created on my laptop to my iPad without using DropBox (a service I will not use). Why have you not updated the iPad app to use chronologies stored on Apple's Cloud? All Apple programs should be able to use this service. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re working on an update that makes the app compatible with iCloud Drive so you can access your files on multiple iOS devices as well as the Mac. ### 4/5 — Use with Mac *2016-07-02, version 2.1.2* Synchronization is a must. I see it is not a priority to the dev...but seriously, it is a must. ### 2/5 — Too bad, no longer maintained or enhanced *2016-03-24, version 2.1.2* This application while useful is no longer developed. So don't buy it if you expect a future for this app. Doesn't support latest iOS 9 specific features like multitasking or iCloud Drive. 😔😕 ### 2/5 — It could be a super powerful tool if.. *2016-01-11* Seriously, please consider make this tool synchronizable with the desktop app. When it is not, it is not productive to be used in an ordinary basis! I've requested this feature and waited for a year long. The only response I've got was the developer is relocated to other project. Is sad and disappointed that I have let go this app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re working on an update that makes the app compatible with iCloud Drive so you can access your files on multiple iOS devices as well as the Mac. The update should also make the app more stable and compatible with the latest iOS versions. ### 2/5 — The Share PDF option completely broken on my iPad. *2015-09-26, version 2.1.2* Anytime I try to use the Share PDF button the app gets stuck. It doesn’t let me send or cancel or do anything else. It requires that I kill the app and reopen the app. ### 4/5 — Very Helpful Teacher Tool *2015-09-24* As a teacher, I use this a lot. I love that my students can see how events from all facets of life integrate to make up major historical events. Please keep developing and supporting this app. Ever teacher I show it to really likes it. It has gotten pretty buggy with the update to ios9, but still works, albeit much slower. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Crashes - slow and limited *2015-09-14, version 2.1.2* Found it very difficult to put dates in that are before 400 AD - keeps rejecting them No way to write ON a slide. This sacrifices so much for the "3d" function, which doesn't work smoothly and takes an age to load if you have more than about 12 slides in the timeline. No way to "group" a load of slides under one subtitle ### 4/5 — I'm on board🔥 *2014-12-24, version 2.1.2* I found the app extremely easy to use, their Mac version is a bit on the expensive side but coupled with the app hits a home run. Fun for writers creating fiction as you can create your own years within it as I do and adding photo's aids in moving projects along as indicators for where you are within a story structure. I find the app enjoyable and use it frequently. Check out for YouTube videos if you're on the fence which is what I did till I pushed my self over 😉 ### 4/5 — Updating review after quick response from developer *2014-10-07, version 2.1.1* This app was great and then it wasn’t and now it is again! A useful app for presenting timelines in meetings and running independently in loops as a movie. Looks lovely and professional. ### 4/5 — Good but bad *2014-09-22, version 2.1* Timeline 3D is a really useful, fun and easy to use app but there are some downs. It keeps crashing. Please update ASAP! I have an assignment due in two days and this is the app I am using! Please fix it! Thankyou ### 2/5 — iOS 8 *2014-09-18, version 2.1* It's not working with iOS 8 ### 4/5 — Great *2014-05-11, version 2.1* Love the UI. Although it would be nice to have some more themes with different colours. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost all my work *2019-06-29, version 5.2.1* I spent hours meticulously building a timeline. I page through it a couple of times then as I went to present it, everything was gone except for the first entry. Hours of work shot! Not to mention the failed presentation. ### 1/5 — Times Were Changed After Entry *2018-11-10* I was looking for a visually appealing timeline and this application truly is. Unfortunately, after spending a significant amount of time inputting my data, some entries were moved back an hour and some stayed accurate, i.e. 3:27 am became 2:27 am while other entries stayed the same. The only way to get the timeline to display accurate was to edit the time to be inaccurate in the entry. I snapped a screenshot, emailed it and asked the developer for help. No response after several days. Very, very confusing how this could happen and even more disappointing that no explanation or help has been forthcoming. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad 2 *2017-04-10* It takes at least 3 minutes to open a timeline on iPad 2. The app repeatedly crashes. When I bought the app, I looked specifically to see if it would work on my iPad, and it says that the app will work with my model. There should be some sort of notification BEFORE you buy the app that it will be such a disaster. **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear you experienced an issue with the app. It sounds like their may be issue specific to your particular timeline. If you can send us your timeline we would like to investigate this further. From the event list choose the share button, then “export document” and then email the document to support@beedocs.com so that we can use it for performance testing. ### 1/5 — Lost all its usability *2017-04-02, version 2.1.2* This app used to be useful, but now it's lost all the feature that made it useful, and it is buggy. The master view table has black table items sometimes, the detail view provides no visual layout, the video tutorials only apply to the previous version, and it's no longer possible to convert mac timeline documents to iOS and vice versa. Basically, it is now badly programmed and useless. I am left wishing I could revert to the previous version, but instead I'll find a new product that is better maintained. ### 1/5 — Hoped to use in conjunction with Mac… *2015-04-28, version 2.1.2* and iPad by sharing timelines. That way I could edit on whatever device I have. Won't work. Developer unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Crashes on start up... *2014-09-23, version 2.1* I have very high hopes for this app but it keeps crashing on a fairly well equipped iPad with lots of memory. Seems like an excellent tool for legal casework. ; ) Can't wait for improvements. ### 1/5 — iOS 8 FAIL *2014-09-23, version 2.1* I thought, based on previous reviews, that this would be an awesome app, but it loads for half a second and then crashes. Every time. Sure needs to be optimized for iOS 8+ ### 1/5 — Rather disturbing bug *2014-04-17, version 2.1* While uploading a 49.6 MB 19 event presentation to Dropbox the app displays: NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 The disturbing part: it deletes its Dropbox folder which, of course, removes everything the folder contained. This is bad. Emails to the developer go unreturned. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2013-12-08, version 2.0.3* I purchased this app to replace my manual timeline logbook that contains about 200 photos and events going back 40 years. When creating events the app has the ability to add photos that are stored on Dropbox. However, every time I tried to add photos the app crashes. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Tried changing photos file formats but had same problem. My iPad is running the latest iOS7. You can not do any real work with this app and for such an expensive app, this is not acceptable. ### 2/5 — Not Compatible with Mac *2018-03-03, version 5.2.1* They advertise being compatible across devices, but they are not. They also can no longer produce widgets for iBooks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS APP TRULY ALTERED THE ENTIRE DIRECTION OF MY LIFE! EXCEPT… *2025-01-20* After having this installed in every version of every Apple product that I have had, it appears as though you have no plans of ever working on it again; well, I think you stated that on your website. At least, something to that nature. Whatever the case is, as the title states, this app changed my entire life. And not in some cheesy way. No, I am talking about the fact that I have had such a terribly traumatic life; and not in a “wrong place at the wrong time” kind of way. No — in the I knew that somewhere along the way (in the deepest recesses of my mind) lied the truth; the answers to who had crippled me (physically, emotionally, and mentally). Actually, I had a very good idea who was behind it all. I just didn’t know why. I didn’t exactly know if I wanted to know why. It was just such a conglomerate of **** that it had become easier (in a sense) to disassociate and forget it all. That is, until it happened again. And I was the lucky one. Someone very close to me had suffered similar harm by the same people. So, as long as I was/am alive, I had time to bring what happened to us out in the light. And after nearly half a century of this misery, I finally have found the answers I sought. I am nowhere close to being done. At the same time, there were several others whose lives were touched by my work. And there will be several more soon. It just would have been great to have seen further development because there was so much potential to tap into. I had sent you an email about 4-5 years ago begging for you to continue working on this, but never heard back. I don’t even know if you will read this or not, but if so — please respond so I can maybe get you to write a personalized version for the right price:) Anyhow, thank you so much for sharing your work. Some of us help to change lives and never hear back from those who were helped; others don’t even know that their work had the ability to do so. Well, I am here to tell you that yours did. More than you’ll ever know. ### 5/5 — Stellar timeline app *2017-08-17, version 2.1.2* Not just the best timeline app on iOS -- the best timeline app on any platform (and I have tried most). ### 5/5 — Update! *2016-01-14, version 2.1.2* This app is very good, but update is a necessary subject. For example this app is not compatible with right hand languages such as arabic and hebrew and ... Please up date we waite😉 ### 5/5 — On the top *2014-12-06, version 2.1.2* The one I wished, great in design, easy to use, good in support. ### 5/5 — needed update, but then great *2014-09-30* I love this app! I’ve been using the original Timeline 3D on my macs for years, and it’s the best timeline creation program out there. This iPad version works beautifully, as well, though I did have to use the update after upgrading my iPad to ios8. The update came out, I installed it, and now all is well again. Love this. The customer service with this app is the best I know. ### 5/5 — Brilliant App, Excellent Support, You won't be disappointed. *2014-09-30, version 2.1.1* This is truly a beautiful application. DOWNLOAD this app now! You don't know how beautiful it is unless you experience it for yourself. The 3D designs are absolutely breathtaking. This app is also great for note talking, and is one of the best apps I own. Thank you for fixing the crashing issue with iOS 8 on iPads. You responded extremely quickly to my complaints. Design: 5/5 Support: 5/5 ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2013-10-10* I have been a Timeline 3D user on the Mac for years. This app is a perfect transition to iOS. I use the app for timeline presentation in criminal fraud cases. It makes presentation of complex material so easy to understand and quick to reference. Thank you for this GREAT app! ### 5/5 — excellent presentation tool *2013-10-08, version 2.0.3* This app provides a polished professional display and makes for a great presentation tool for teaching a memorable timeline. Great work. ### 5/5 — Lawyers *2013-10-08, version 2.0.3* Great app, just a great idea and helpful tool. ### 5/5 — Robert L. Armstrong Attorney at Law *2013-09-18* This is an awesome product. I have used it at mediation many times with astounding success. Everyone in the room, no matter how manny pay close attention to the next slide that flips out 3D; easy to use; easy to incorporate media; just a wonderful product. I have it on my Macbook Pro and iPad. I have not seen anything on the market like this product. I stumbled across it and am hoping by this review that someone else has the good fortune that I have had in the discovery. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has to present material in front of a group. It helps tell the story, whatever that story may be. In my case it helps me visually tell my client's story.
