### 3/5 — Could be getter

*2025-06-15, version 4.3.3*

Couple tweaks would make this better: 1) why not make a year range like a from and a to? Like 1900-1925. 2) why can’t you just select the year? I might not know the exact month and day so how about just a year option?

### 4/5 — USEFUL APP

*2025-03-28, version 4.2*

GREAT

### 2/5 — Why? Just why?

*2025-01-25, version 4.1*

Why would the timeline be in date order scrolling down but the events on each day are reversed? It is maddening.

### 4/5 — Ottima app ma

*2024-11-22*

Si potrebbero aggiungere eventi non solo giornalieri, ma periodi di tempo… da un giorno a un altro giorno
Ed in più sarebbe carino notificare i ricordi: tipo “oggi 4 anni fa stavi facendo…” e mostrare il ricordo

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2024-11-12, version 4.1*

I like it. This is exactly what i need. A timeline of whats happening in my life. 
Im just worried that someday if i choose to switch phones, i may lose all the data if i download this app to a new phone. 
Please i hope in the future i can still have the datas and infos ive collected through the yrs to be carried to my new device. Thank you

### 4/5 — Better then Most

*2024-11-02, version 4.1*

It’s better than most. It would be nice if you could copy & paste entire days into other timelines and if you could collect your data into a folder (docs, photos, videos,etc)

### 4/5 — Great tool

*2024-10-10, version 4.1*

Very good for keeping various timelines. One thing I suggest to the developers is the ability to merge timelines together. Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Love it but can’t use docs

*2024-08-31, version 4.1*

I just downloaded today and I’m loving it so far. My only drawback is that I can only add photos and videos and cannot add documents/pdfs. That would be a game changer.

### 5/5 — Every fun!

*2024-08-19, version 4.1*

Awesome app. Loving it so far. 
Does what it says.

### 5/5 — Super Tool

*2024-08-10*

Bin super zufrieden und happy

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2024-06-08, version 3.9.7*

It never gave me any notifications or alerts and was generally useless

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2024-04-26, version 3.9.7*

I USE IT THE MOST OUT OF ALL MY APPS

### 4/5 — Unresponsive developers

*2024-02-07, version 3.9.5*

Actually I have used this app for years, because I can’t find another that does what I do with this one, but -despite that- I STILL always forget that this stupid app doesn’t SAVE what you’ve labored on automatically… like EVERYTHING ELSE does nowadays! Losing my long entry for a moment’s lapse when I want to check a fact, is aggravating, but never getting any help or answers from the developers is worse. Is there no one still alive and making app improvements there?? Regardless… beware.

### 5/5 — Sirve muy bien para hacer líneas del tiempo

*2024-01-22*

Gracias por crear esta gran aplicación

### 3/5 — Looking good

*2024-01-21, version 3.9.5*

I have been looking for a app to keep a simple timeline this one so far has met my expectation and then some. Simple to add new entry in future or past. Add photos if need be. Would recommend it for sure!

### 1/5 — Deleted Everything

*2025-12-31, version 4.3.3*

Randomly deleted everything I put into it after a couple months. Idk why, my storage isn’t full & iCloud backups were working, then suddenly it refused to backup and the files disappeared the next morning, all of them even those previously saved before the last backup. Why?!

### 1/5 — Timeline gone

*2025-06-05, version 4.3.2*

Spent sooo much time building a time line. 6 months later i come back and it’s non-existent!

### 1/5 — Lost files

*2024-08-24, version 4.1*

I had extremely important timelines on the app, and they suddenly just disappeared. Devastating to my work. Bleh.

### 1/5 — Never consider subscription

*2024-08-17, version 4.1*

The nature of this app is to retain memories for years. Say 10 years, then the app might cost you $600. No way.

### 1/5 — OMG

*2024-01-31, version 3.9.5*

ALL THE APP DOES IS KICK YOU OUT!

### 1/5 — Unresponsive developers

*2023-11-12*

### 1/5 — Missing timeline in iOS17 in iPhone 15 Pro

*2023-10-02*

Have been using this app since 2017. But after I upgraded my iPhone to iPhone 15 Pro ios 17 im missing half of the timeline and i have saved for years when I transferred the data from old phone to new phone. 
The documents size on old phone shows 4Gb however now the new iPhone shows the 36GB and still missing so many notes and memories. I left the phone on for 3 hours to complete download of the data it still didn’t work. Have deleted and reinstalled the app and still the same issue.

### 1/5 — Deleted everything

*2023-08-06, version 3.9.2*

Deleted my whole timeline, all of my photos uploaded and the dates for them are lost.

### 1/5 — Aa

*2022-10-02*

As

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2022-09-11, version 3.5*

Current Review:

I used to love this app. Now they’re charging 4.99 A MONTH for features that used to be free without making ANY improvements? This app was great for free, but NOTHING on this app is worth paying for. There are much better timeline apps where you’ll get lots of bang for your buck. Pathetic.

Previous Review:

I love this app, and I use it for writing and personal use. It’s very easy to use, and I look forward to seeing the app develop. Some things I’d like to see added: -BC and AD classifications. -More design and color options. -Location Tagging. -Dark Mode.

### 5/5 — Handiest ever for journaling.

*2025-06-22, version 4.3.3*

When we need to know when a new roof was put on and by whom, I can find out quickly. When someone asks me what year we went to New Zealand, I have it at my fingertips. It’s also great for tracking goals.
