### 5/5 — Love history

*2020-07-20*

Very impressed with this history app.  People today need such information so they can understand how we arrived at the place we are presently.  Even though I’m really an ancient history buff, I was surprised how well I did.

Great for history buffs and students studying!!!!

### 3/5 — It’s free and it’s fun but it’s not perfect

*2018-09-13*

I wish there were facts after each answer and a explanation if you were wrong. The quotes are kind of cool but they have nothing to do with the question and the back ground picture never relates to the quote.

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2018-03-23, version 2.0*

They said that Francisco Franco was Ferdinand Franco.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-11-29, version 2.0*

Juno beach was taken by Canadians, not Brits, not sure why the author of this quiz would not know that.
