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. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2016-04-24, version 9.3* This app is a fun way to learn American history in a small way each day. It provides a few facts regarding specific historical events that occurred on that particular calendar day. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2016-01-11, version 8.1* I have only had the app for a few weeks and it helps in my class a great deal. However, how can you miss Alice Paul's birthday?!? ### 4/5 — Daily dose of History!!! *2015-03-05, version 8.1* It's ok...I can see at a glance what happened in History! ### 4/5 — Stimulating *2015-02-04, version 7.0* It reminds me of my history some times (born in 1940) and all that came before ### 4/5 — Basic-but not bad *2014-06-13, version 7.0* The app is decent but very basic. Too many birthdays for my taste. I did catch a couple of errors. They had the Yorktown sinking in 1944 when it was 1942. Hopefully they pay more attention. ### 3/5 — Today's History *2013-09-19, version 6.2* I like seeing information on today's events in history. I usually post to Facebook. I would like to see more events listed. ### 4/5 — Adequate and informative *2013-08-20, version 6.2* This is a good app for daily history. The only complaint I have is that it just doesn't list enough events. In my opinion, there should be more than just 2 or 3 entries per day. ### 3/5 — Only fair *2013-03-29, version 6.1* As a historian i have found errors in dates listed for events which put others in question. I never use a dated event from here without confirming with another source. Otherwise pretty good. ### 4/5 — Great educational tool! *2013-03-19, version 6.1* My kids love reading today in history. It often leads to more research or discussion! ### 4/5 — Great App *2012-12-25, version 5.1* It would be nice to have a brief description of the lessor known people and events. ### 5/5 — So informative! *2012-10-11, version 5.1* My friends love these facts! ### 4/5 — Great conversation starter *2012-06-16, version 5.1* As a retired history teacher I really enjoy this app. However every once and a while the wrong year is given. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — Waste of time and 99 cents *2014-06-05, version 7.0* Deleted after 45 seconds, the time it took me to read all the info ### 1/5 — This is nit accurate *2011-04-17, version 4.1.2* If you like learning a lot of non- facts, you'll love this app. There are too many mistakes fir this type of app. There should be none. If when you alert the developers if mistakes, they don't care, they never fix them. So, if you like inaccuracies, you'll live this app. ### 1/5 — disappointed *2009-07-24, version 0* Save you money. This could be so much better. ### 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 ### 2/5 — It's just an OK app *2013-09-21, version 6.2* But missed the anniversary of the Battle of Antietam on 9/17th...only the bloodiest single day of battle on U.S. soil. I would also link each event or person mentioned to its Wiki page. The background pic obscures the text and arrow commands. ### 2/5 — 1 *2011-04-25, version 4.1.2* Although mildly interesting, I found the info at times either lacking or incorrect. Save your $ and time. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Can't see all of it *2016-04-15, version 8.1* Needs to be adjustable. The end of the message usually gets cut off. ### 3/5 — No Florida? *2015-03-03, version 8.1* On March 3, 1845 Florida was granted statehood as the 27th state. The app didn't even mention it on March 3rd. That's upsetting since I'm from Florida. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Interesting app *2018-03-03, version 9.3* As a history buff, love this easy way of seeing what happened i American History on any given day. ### 5/5 — Does what it purports to do. *2017-09-27, version 9.3* Gives daily anniversaries for American history. Basic features, but it does its job well 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Good *2016-09-22* I like it. ### 5/5 — Interesting!! *2016-08-17, version 9.3* I never really got into history, but this app has really piqued my interest and I've been looking up and reading more about US history.

Provides accurate information and a good summary of important historical events in our nation. ### 5/5 — Intriguing! *2016-04-23, version 9.3* Many people in today's society neglect American history because of technological advancements. However this app implements American history on a technologically advanced device. It allows people to learn American history easily without having to refer to a traditional textbook. Overall a great app ### 5/5 — Good app t know American History *2016-04-22, version 9.3* With the busyness of today's high-tech world, many are not interested with any of the american history. But with this app, people can find facts and some trivia in order to know more about the history. As for me, I like this one coz I can share this to my kids of whom I homescooled. ### 5/5 — History buff! *2014-08-10, version 7.0* I love this app, it is one of my absolute favorites!
