Waste of 99 cents
Product by World Book would think it would offer more information than a few mentions. No detail, no encyclopedia information, nothing that Wiki couldn't provide for free WITH more information. Wish I could do a 'Do Over' and pass on this app as I feel u should and save ur money.
Flat and not very useful
Can't even compare this to the iPad version. I have already uninstalled it after just a few minutes
Best history app ever!!:)
The title says it all;)
Needs better facts
It only ever mentions people being born. And as a history teacher who actually knows his stuff I don't even know half the people mentioned.
No John Lennon Birthday
Apparently Camille Saint-Saens' Oct. 9 birthday is more significant a day in history than John Lennon's on the same day.
Okay app on iPhone
This is an okay app on the iPhone, but is so much better on the iPad. Besides a much richer graphical interface, on the iPad there will often be a link related to an event in history.
For example, today (June 23) is when the Taft-Hartley Act became law in 1947. On the iPad, the words "Taft-Hartley Act" link to a short article within the app which explains it. The iPhone app lacks that. Overall, though, it's useful and worth a buck.

Ok
When's the update coming already???
John Kennedy
I can't give a review yet but surprised nothing abou death of Kennedy on this date in 1963
Nice app works like the widget
April 12 The American Civil War is there, so is the Japan attacking Pearl Harbor in WWII. I got it today September 19th 2009 six things happened this day (I compared it to the Mac widget). In order to see all six you have to slide your finger sideways (left and right). It's a little misleading. There should be arrows or something to let people know there was more history on a particular day. Still it's nice app that works well.

Data base really needs an update
I have had this for a year..it is a free widget for apple...but I use it everyday on my phone...data base needs some love and this could be a really good app...
Lame facts
Great concept, crummy data set.
Don't
This wouldn't be worth checking out even if it was free. Only 1 fact per day. Don't do it
Ugh
I accidently bought this and I was like alright whatever maybe it's cool but it's about people I've never heard of. I mean it could be way cooler if it had "fun facts" like " today in 1976 man touched moon" or something interesting. Not like " martha burgenton,inventor, was born 1864. "
I mean that's not even detailed.
This app is just OK. I would understand if it was free but yeah.

COOL!!!!!
This is cool I like to be able to see what went on in history. Very Educational.
Great for people without Macs
Well I don't have a Mac and no access to the widgets, so this app is excellent for people like me. And only a dollar!
with some improvements could be more interesting
I like trivia and misc. facts, and some of this is interesting, but it would be a lot nicer if you could categorize things that happened "This Day in History" and expand. For instance, have the arts, inventions, quotes, politics, global issues, etc.... when someone was born is ..... well ...... sort of interesting I guess, but more meaty content would go further: be brief histories as related to the major event of that "Day" would add a lot.
