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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: TimeStory at Free against QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart's $19.99. TimeStory also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 83% of QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart's written reviews are positive against 100% of TimeStory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
