The app needs to be updated so that it can be compatible with iOS 11. Other than that, it is a really informative and cool app. ### 4/5 — Update needed *2017-10-03, version 3.0.3* Can no longer use the App until you update it. It’s a shame. ### 3/5 — Amazing *2015-02-18, version 3.0.3* Six out of five stars! ### 2/5 — Could do with work on content *2013-09-28, version 3.0.3* Nice idea but the actual content lets it down. I will keep it and the content my get better. A library is full of stuff - 365 interesting facts is a start.... ### 2/5 — Few events *2013-08-17, version 3.0.3* Most of the items were who was born on this day which is an easy find on Wikipedia. It is also pretty USA centric which means mostly history from the last 400 years. Pretty narrow IMO. ### 3/5 — OK *2013-07-11, version 3.0.3* This app is very helpful but it has a lot of mistakes like it calls 9/11 a war but the war did not start Till October. ### 3/5 — Great, but they make some weird choices on who to celebrate *2013-07-04, version 3.0.3* First count against them: skeuomorphism. Blech. Second count: they chose a goddamn furniture designer's birthday for July 3 instead of the birthday of Franz Kafka. Who the hell outside of design school has heard of Robert Adams? Franz Kafka was a legendary writer whose name has become synonymous with a special kind of surrealism. What the hell is Robert Adams known for? Making furniture. You tell me who is more deserving of recognition. ### 3/5 — Mediocre *2013-04-01, version 3.0.3* It would be nice to see more significant entries - like significant World holidays and festivals rather than the birth dates of actors that will be forgotten in a few years. It's a good idea, but it needs more substance. ### 4/5 — App with interesting and convenient info... *2012-09-25, version 3.0.3* Like it a lot, but bookmarking and sharing function would be great ### 3/5 — No JRR Tolkien *2012-09-19, version 3.0.3* It's wierd how there are events no one cares about but theres no JRR Tolkien ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wonderful app, but still NOT updated for iOS 11 !! Please fix! *2017-12-09, version 3.0.3* STILL NO UPDATE! Please, MacKiev work your magic on this. It can't be that hard to do! Or, if you don't want to, pass the app along to someone who will! ------------------------------------ Look at it every day, but it will not work under the new iOS. Please update it! Also, please give us a setting to turn off the automatic playing of music on entries! Many country blurbs start by blaring out their anthems -- it's startling, makes one jump, and disturbs others! ### 1/5 — UPGRADE *2017-10-26, version 3.0.3* Not compatible with iOS 11 :-( ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2017-10-05, version 3.0.3* Please update!! ### 1/5 — Typical Western History *2015-08-02, version 3.0.3* This app is as hideous as the lies we were taught in school. ### 1/5 — Hopeless content *2013-11-23, version 3.0.3* Complete waste of download. Content is way too thin ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-09-06, version 3.0.3* Hire a new history research team. Most of these are seriously boring. ### 1/5 — Womens' Right To Vote?????? *2013-03-04, version 3.0.3* Deleted this app after I discovered March 3, 1913 and its importance in the Womens' Suffrage Movement was totally disregarded. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2012-12-02, version 3.0.3* Unless you only want to check for the current day, it's difficult to flip the pages through the calendar. So much that I've quit after ten minutes and uninstalled it. Also, there's no more than 4 to 6 facts per day. It's sad considering the numerous events over the times in the whole world. Uninstalled! ### 1/5 — NO stars *2012-10-28, version 3.0.3* What absolute waste of download time. It lists data such as the birth date of the wife a president who most people in the world have never heard of. But they mention the birth date of two of the most important composer/musicians of the last 100 hundred years - Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson. what an absolute joke. P.S. i only put 1 star because they don't have the guts to allow NO STARS ### 1/5 — Seriously -- calling President Obama a "politician"? *2012-08-04, version 3.0.3* I couldn't believe when I read the entry today for President Obamas birthday, and it said he was an "American politician." This has to be a mistake; he's the President of the United States. Uninstalling. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This Day *2017-10-21, version 3.0.3* Love this. Please update. No longer compatible with my iPad. ### 5/5 — Please update! *2017-10-02, version 3.0.3* I enjoy this app each day as the first thing I read. Not having it to read each day will be disappointing. ### 5/5 — Fix *2017-09-21, version 3.0.3* Can no longer use, please update ### 5/5 — You must update this app. *2017-09-05, version 3.0.3* When Apple goes to IOS 11, this App. Will no longer work. Please offer an updated version !! ### 5/5 — This day in history *2017-06-16, version 3.0.3* Please update your app. I want to continue to use but will not work with the new iOS update ### 5/5 — Great app! But missing... *2013-11-13* We love this app! My daughter especially enjoys it. She noticed that President George W. Bush's birthday (July 6, 1946) is missing. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2013-07-27, version 3.0.3* Like this app it is fun ### 5/5 — Excellent app if you love history! *2013-07-08, version 3.0.3* This app is very interesting and includes facts that we all should know in addition to some facts we it not know about. Well worth the money :-) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-04-10, version 3.0.3* What a cool idea! I love learning little interesting facts each day. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-10-04, version 3.0.3* This app is amazing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
