TimeStory for iPad/iPhone is a paid app (one-time purchase or annual subscription) for creating graphical timelines--project plans, roadmaps, personal journals, histories, and more, on scales from days to centuries--quickly and easily, while avoiding the complexity of project management tools. The free download lets you open, view, and share timelines created on TimeStory for Mac. If you want to create and edit timelines on your iPad/iPhone, you can activate the built-in free trial, and then, if you choose, pay once or subscribe annually. The free trial does not auto-renew into a subscription, so there’s no risk. Use natural touchscreen gestures to navigate and scale the timeline. Create an event just by tapping one of the New Event buttons then tapping or dragging on the timeline where you want it. Attach photos or image files. Divide your timeline into sections. Import your own SVG or PNG icons to mark points in time. Apply background colors, fonts, event shapes, text alignment, and more. Share your work in PDF or PNG format, exporting an entire timeline or just a section of it. On iPad, TimeStory has great support for Apple Pencil and external keyboards and pointers, works great in Split View and other multitasking modes, and supports multiple windows so you can open multiple documents at once or keep it open next to your research. Versions: This version of TimeStory was built to natively support iPad and iPhone. **Note: TimeStory for Mac is a separate purchase.** More info at https://timestory.app/get/ Web: Learn more on our website (https://timestory.app/), with example timelines, release history, and documentation.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Document Organizer at 4.9 against TimeStory's 3.7. Digital Document Organizer also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). TimeStory's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digital Document Organizer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TimeStory's written reviews are positive against 71% of Digital Document Organizer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TimeStory ships an update every 6 weeks, Digital Document Organizer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
