I liked this back in time when I had it installed a while ago. Giving it another go on a later phone. If i feel strongly, I'll update my review. There's seemingly a lot of intellectually challenged (not so smart) people reviewing this in s misguided manner. To bad, some people just don't get it. 🫤
Anything to uses Wikipedia as a reference point is not something to use for educational purposes to bad zero stars is not an option...
I use to love this app. But since January regardless of the selection the app. never goes past 1899 ,nothing any further in time
