### 4/5 — Check your dates

*2021-08-07, version 9.3*

Aug 6 … you have 1845 for the dropping of the a-bomb on Hiroshima. You are off by 100 years. This occurred in 1945. There have been other errors in dates and spelling. Please check carefully so historical dates can be conveyed with accuracy. There is enough “fake news” and inaccuracy out there without inadvertently adding to it. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Not Always Correct

*2019-10-09, version 9.3*

As in Bob Dylan’s actual birth date and age.  I posted what the app claimed, was told it was wrong so I looked it up, and they were right

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2019-09-28, version 9.3*

I post to more than one social media app. After each attempt to post your app freezes!

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoy the app

*2018-08-25, version 9.3*

A lot of information that I would never have heard probably without this app.

### 2/5 — Today in American History

*2018-08-09, version 9.3*

Too many errors, should be Gerald Ford not General Ford became President, and B25 hits Empire State Building not a B52. Creator needs to proof read better before he posts. If kids are expected to learn from this app the the information needs to be correct.

**Developer response:** We will incorporate these fixes

### 5/5 — Interesting app

*2018-03-03, version 9.3*

### 5/5 — Great info!
