8 of 25First update in too long.
haven't fully explored it yet but this is a pretty solid app for anyone even mildly interested in history
Every day it gives interesting information. Recommend 100%
This nifty little app allows me to enjoy my passion for history by being able to see what happened every day of the year. I totally recommend this app for anyone, history buff or not.
By far the best history app I’ve used. The layout is intuitive and informative. One of a handful of apps I open daily. Things I’d like to see is the option to add or subtract daily events as in more than four topics on the headline page.
My kids and I love reviewing this app everyday. I love how much history they’re learning.
Great app, look forward to it every day
Even if you don't click on it you get an alert of fun fact every day. And if you click you get even more, way more, information about that event and others. In the births/deaths section it needs some context: murder victim isn't enough, little more info on why that soccer player is famous. I'd like to be able to adjust the font size too!
