## What is Travelling In Time?

History SatNav for Families : The history app that talks to your kids in the car.

Travelling In Time turns every journey into a story. Plug your iPhone into CarPlay, and as you drive past a castle, a Roman road, a Tudor manor or a village church, the app notices and tells your children what happened there — in a friendly voice, in plain words, for ages 6 to 12.

There are over half a million historic places in the app, covering England, Scotland and Wales, with Northern Ireland's key sites too — plus 1,200+ UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the world. That's not just the famous landmarks. It's the ruined abbey you've driven past a hundred times, the pub that used to be a coaching inn, the field where a battle was fought. Your children will start asking "what's that?" — and finally get an answer.

WORKS WITH CARPLAY
Stories play through your car speakers, hands-free. Nothing to tap, nothing to read while driving. Just drive, and history comes to you.

A SATNAV THAT KNOWS ITS HISTORY
Built-in turn-by-turn directions take you to any site. Plan a day out around castles, Roman forts or stately homes, and let the kids pick where next.

MEET FIONA, YOUR GUIDE
Fiona introduces each place, reveals the stories behind the stones and answers the questions children actually ask. Tap "Gruesome Tales" (curated for kids — a grown-up can switch them off) if you dare — the Tudors were more fascinating, and more grisly, than any classroom admits.

LEARN WITHOUT NOTICING
Nearly a million quiz questions and 700,000 "Did You Know?" facts earn coins, badges and streaks. It feels like a game. It's the history curriculum — Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Tudors, Victorians and more — arriving one real place at a time.

EXPLORE FROM ABOVE
Not in the car? Fly over sites in stunning 3D, tap to land and explore, and listen as Fiona reads each story aloud.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST WONDERS, TOO
Beyond Britain, fly over 1,200+ UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Pyramids of Giza, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, Neuschwanstein Castle and hundreds more — each with its own story, facts and quiz.

START EXPLORING FOR FREE
The app is free to download. Explore the map, hear Fiona's short introductions to every place, add 20 stories to your collection with their quizzes, earn coins and badges, and try CarPlay on a real drive. Full Access — every story, every tour, the complete time-machine collection — is available in the Grown-up Area monthly, yearly or as a one-off lifetime purchase.

ALREADY BOUGHT IT? YOU'RE COVERED
If you bought Travelling In Time when it was a paid app, you keep Full Access for as long as the app is available, at no charge. The app recognises your original purchase automatically.

FREE FOR SCHOOLS
Schools get Full Access free. Deploy through Apple School Manager and every pupil iPad unlocks everything, with no purchase screen shown to children.

### 5/5 — Great app 👍🏼

*2026-10-14*

Really nice app for all the family to enjoy and learn at the same time, very well put together.

### 5/5 — My children love it on days out

*2026-10-11*

We love heading out on drives and connecting the app to CarPlay, so it can tell us about the history of places as we pass by. The kids especially love Explorer Mode, which lets us discover and learn about the places around us as we walk. It’s such a fun way for the whole family to explore and learn together!

### 5/5 — Sally B

It’s really interesting, even in my local area, found out about things I never knew when I pressed the ‘gruesome tales’ button! Looking forward to using it when my husband and I visit tourist spots, it’s like having your own private tour guide. 5 Stars!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Sally! We’re delighted you’re enjoying Travelling in Time and discovering new stories right on your doorstep. We love that it feels like having your own private tour guide! We hope you and your husband have lots of fun exploring new places and uncovering even more gruesome tales along the way. Thanks for the fantastic 5-star review!

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-15

Treasure Chest is safer and fairer. Other players now appear under friendly nicknames, Quiz Champion adds up every quiz you play, Places Visited counts the places you really went to, and This Week starts fresh every Monday.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-13

Full Access is here. Unlock every trail, tour and quiz with a monthly, yearly or one-off lifetime purchase. Families who bought the app before it went free keep everything.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-10

• Now free to download. Explore, Tours, twenty free stories and the starter car are yours. Full Access adds the rest, and anyone who bought the app before keeps everything for as long as the app is available. Schools get Full Access FREE through Apple School Manager.

• Seventeen languages. Tap the flag on the map and pick German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, or English and French as before. Stories, quizzes, tours and gruesome tales all switch language, and each language gets its own storyteller, downloaded the first time you pick it.

• A proper welcome. Three short cards, then Fiona walks you round the map: Explore, the car, Tours, Mystery Trails and the compass, with a bouncing arrow on each one.

• In the car. CarPlay distances in miles. Fiona tells you how to unlock a padlocked car. Turning the map's music off no longer silences Fiona or the turn directions while you drive.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-10

Perfect quiz? Watch the lightning!

- Get every quiz question right and the landmark fires a burst of lightning across the map, zapping the pins around it. Perfected places keep a little gold trophy so you can see where you've conquered.
- CarPlay: Fiona now tells you quick facts while you're driving and saves the longer tales for when you've parked. Tap "Hear more" on the card when there's more to tell.
- CarPlay: the car sits square on the road and keeps up with you properly on bends and at speed.
- CarPlay: the gem you're hearing about spins while Fiona talks, and stars along your route are easier to collect. Longer trips get more stars.
- SatNav on iPhone now sweeps up the stars and gems you drive past, just like CarPlay.
- Fiona says kings and queens the right way: Henry the Eighth, not Henry V-I-I-I. Place names in capitals, "-acre" names and "Domesday" sound right too.
- Fewer audio hiccups in the car, and general tidy-ups for a smoother ride.

Grab your scarf: The Away Day is here.

  - New tour: The Away Day. Fly over twenty famous football grounds in one trip, from Wembley all the way to Glasgow, with Cardiff, Birmingham, Wolverhampton,
  Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sunderland and Newcastle on the way. Fiona tells you the story of each ground, from the cottage in the
  corner at Craven Cottage to the pitch on wheels at Tottenham, with a fun fact at every stop.
  - Trophy pins. Each ground now has its own gold trophy on the map, with five quiz questions and three facts about the club, its records and its famous
  players. Collect all twenty.
  - Find your team. Type a club name into search, such as Chelsea or Everton, and jump straight to their home ground. On the tour, tap the stadium picker to
  skip to any ground. 
  - Cheer or boo. Two big thumbs on the stadium tour play a roaring crowd, or a grumble, so you can back your team or boo the rivals.
  - All stadium stories are about the football: records, legends and the quirks of each ground. Nothing scary.
  - Also in 1.0.2: the map now keeps working when you lose signal, switching to a simpler map instead of grey squares, and the app opens faster and more 
  smoothly. Perfect quiz scores send a burst of lightning across the map. In CarPlay, Fiona tells quick facts while you drive and saves the longer tales for
  when you have parked.
