Best history app

By far the best history app I’ve used. The layout is intuitive and informative. One of a handful of apps I open daily.
Things I’d like to see is the option to add or subtract daily events as in more than four topics on the headline page.

Excellent!

Easy to use, the layout is pleasing and it is fun to read! I have had the app a long time and really enjoy remembering historical events AND learning new information!

WIDGETS

This App would get five stars if they’d just update the widgets so they work with the new widgets format in iOS 14. It’s been 10 months since WWDC, this is a very easy update, disappointed it hasn’t been done yet for iPad and iPhone

Date not right in my pop up notification

My pop up notification dates tend to be decades off. For example, today says Jan 3, 1924 Manuel Noriega surrenders to US forces. I was in the navy when it happened. I know I’m not that old. The articles provide correct dates, but pop ups are deceptive.

Not great

What a shame. This is a great idea and could be good but really poor execution of facts. Incorrect and wrong photos of people or photo used more than once. Just means I can’t believe any of it. And £9.99 is way too expensive.
