2024-10-16 | clemod jaz | There are just so many good things about the amount of event. With many filters in settings... | |
2024-10-09 | Rob Bl | Fantastic concept, but it's hard to use because as you scroll, events get rearranged. It's sometimes hard to find the same event twice. | |
2024-07-10 | Tom Liggett | Contains a huge wealth of historic data. It is a great tool for many reasons. For me I appreciate the discovering of events in relation to my immediate interest. Quite easy to understand and use. | |
2024-05-05 | Michelle DeLeonardis | This app is so underrated. It should be trending for any history buff or people just curious. I love this app so much I recently started casting my phone to my tv to see it larger and show my kids and significant other things. I rarely review apps, but this one of the best I've ever found. No ads, no paywalls, easy to navigate. Love it | |
2024-01-21 | Dorian Liepmann | This just a great app and has been one of my favorites for the last ~7 years. I use it to understand historical events in terms of what else is going on in the world at that time. Great filters (e.g. only leaders, wars, science, etc.) and time ranges, which is helped by the ability to zoom. For example, find out what was going on in the rest of the world during the 100 years war. Items are linked to Wikipedia if you want more information. | |
2024-01-10 | Maria S | Really nice simple timeline of world events, and simple as in the features are simple. I do wish there was a way to start with a blank timeline, and then add events that you want, rather than every event from every part of the world all at once. | |
2023-10-29 | Claressa Campbell | Amazing!! This is the fix to the ahistoric understanding that the average person gets from history classes! And.. THIS IS A REAL HISTORY OF THE WORLD. not just the people who do the writing history down thing part of it! And, every single entry I looked at was a Wikipedia link..so, you can do this one app and ACTUALLY have a real understanding of the history of the world.. | |
2023-07-17 | Ace Winters | Needs the ability to collapse subsections, specifically for the purpose of getting a better grasp of the continuity of the Eons, their Eras, and which Events belong to which. The current model makes it very difficult to see where each Eon or Era runs into the next, because they stretch so long down, it's impossible to view on a mobile screen. | |
2023-06-17 | Fabio Roberto Pereira | The best timeline app toI found. It take main topics from wikipedia and you can search or make filters, create a timeline from yours events bookmarks and add new data if necessary. Good GUI, simple and intuitive. There's no advertising to deal while runing it. | |
2023-05-14 | Stefan Stuck | I think the voices in my head or that it came from where they are from created this app, it seems magical does it not? Maybe there should be a blank version of it for beings from other places to be able to modify the time and the events like you have. I think it is awesome to know our history. I like that there is no advertising in it. |
