History Timeline

Great app if you need a quick info about world history. Overall UI is clean, crisp and easy to operate. Two small things, though: some UI elements are completely blury and don't really fit in. And search function is abnormally slow: I understand it needs a bit of time to search through a gigantic database but then you shouldn't use this "search-as-you-type" method, especially since results don't show up immediately. Anyway, thanks for this lovely app :-)

Really interesting app. It feels cluttered to me, though. Obviously, with so much info it will be somewhat cluttered, but I imagine it could feel cleaner with inertial scrolling along the x axis and a y axis that helps organize things more clearly.

This app makes history look very interesting. Love the features. It has concise event descriptions, filters (for wars, nations, leaders, etc) link to wikipedia and the option to bookmark. Kudos to the developer!

I love the app but I don't succeed in adding a lifespan showing as a bar, with begining and end date and in colour. Other than that I am liking it very much.

Whoa, I'm impressed! Smooth scrolling, great overview, loads of information in a handy format. Hours of just exploring the timeline in this pretty app. And I'm a history teacher, so I'm not easily impressed in this department.

After reviewing it I'm uninstalling this App. I believe it is deliberately prejudiced. Isreal has been very limited in it's historical representation of Isreal. Which goes back further than it's 14 hundred year Muslim history.

Biased representation of history. One of the most famous battles in all history is not visible, battle of Tours.

Very enjoyable app. It is always interesting to see which events happened at the same period in different countries. One feature I would love is the ability to filter by country.

Excellent, just what I was looking for. An option for a log scale might be useful?

Very well done ! An enormous amount of information , but , excellent navigation tools

Packed with so much info!

I truly appreciate this app! Thank you!!

Super fun and interesting app

Awesome!!!!

Excellent. What I really wanted. A treasure trove of knowledge. There should be an option to search by events. Like if I type titanic it should zoom to that year when titanic sank. If I type earthquake it should move to locations where there is a word 'earthquake'. One more doubt: whether the events added by me reflect to others also or only to me.?

Great app, this is the thing I was looking for. On the go information about historical events and influences. Most of the time I know the period, but not the exact date of writers, philosophers, empires and battles. There's one filter I'm missing: religion or theology. Religion shaped the world for decades. Through sociology, culture, art and architecture, not to forget ethics and current and historical worldview. I hope the developer could add a filter to specify the view on these events. Also, the addition of philosophical movements would give a better overview of philosophical periods. There are some periods mentioned but they're mostly referred to as art-movements. One example: Neoplatonism had a major influence on philosophy and religion. More recent are (Post-postmodernism- debatable) Postmodernism, Modernism and Romanticism. Periods of time in which philosophy can be viewed and made sense of. I hope you could add these to the timeline to get a better historical context for philosophy.

Perfect, add share access for facebook. Only app I've found that has been updated in 2016 so its some what current and fact checked I would think since you can add events yourself to the app.

Fanstatic! Only some smalI thing to improve (for now): 1. Leaders' reigns should be showed as parts of their lifetimes; 2. The filter should be more detailed, down to the nations where events happen (if possible); 3. There should be different categories for nations and cultures.

Brilliant, absolutely wonderful! This should be a required app for everyone. For those that are complaining about it missing events or being Eurocentric, why don't they put in the effort to have those items included, the app appears to allow the including of additional events. The author also appears to be quite responsive. This is a great accomplishment for a single person to have put together. Thank you.

I want to like it, its an awesone concept, design & program but comparing to other history apps and historical knowledge, there are quite a few major & influential events missing on this time line, which is unfortunate and a major problem with a "history app". Otherwise, it's very well made. Keep updating events.

Wonderful concept..but if you could integrate something so that wikipedia opens in the app itself and we shouldnt leave the app..may be as a small pop up box that we can scroll!! Going to external browser and returning to app to continue reading is bothersome.

Very wide collection of events, and totally up-to-date information. I have one suggestion for this app. It would be so helpful if there were a feature to sync all my own additions to the timeline to another device with this app. It takes me quite a while to enter in all those names and dates. I'd rather not need to do it more than once.

Great for both quick reference and links Wikipedia for further reading. Fascinating amount of info for browsing. Anyone complaining should think how much there is included not what is missing.

The time-line concept is brilliant for keeping track of historic events. Your app is amazing, however, as a tool for studying, it's rather too crowded with information to make any sense of the things you're focused on. For example, I'm trying to map the history of Romania, but it's hard to follow through the wall of text. Could you please add an option for an empty time-line? So we can add just our own custom events, writers, etc? This would make your app an invaluable learning tool. EDIT: Now I feel a little dumb. I tinkered with the settings for a while but to no avail. Thank you for the quick response and solution!

I use this app for few minutes and I can say that this is really one of the best apps ever, something that is really useful in many ways! Please add more music info from last 60 years.

Must for History buffs & the ever-curious. Quickly lays out divers info in perspective. Fulfills a felt need, very well and elegantly. Rightly deserved ratings. Kudos & thanks. A few requests​, please: Could one add Regions and Categories. Could one edit their​ colour coding. Could categories be tagged, so that, eg, Leaders appear in row below Nations, etc. Can Leaders' reigns show as part of their life-span​ (& similarly for other categories). Sort function needs checking, perhaps. Thanks again, I admire this work.

Superb with potential as advised: -Would be more navigational friendly to pinch to zoom in and out. -Would be expandable if, just like Wikipedia, the general public could edit and add new content to the timeline to be submitted to a public server available to all users; & their suggestions perhaps subject for review from an administrator such as yourself to avoid industrial sabotage. At the moment it seems local. I think this would propel it as a worldwide resource. -Perhaps a key that standardises what the various colour bands signify. -More categories to be included, like the birth and deaths of celebrities in general. I myself have added singers like Whitey H & Michael J. -Also, perhaps a reform of how you indicate that a given person is still living. I've realised to do this you input their date of death as the year 10,000 AD, which isn't particularly formal. -With special regards to the 'leaders' category, to have an extended category that shows their date of death & birth, too. -Also, was surprised current Queen Elizabeth II wasn't included. Could also have had Henry VIII's wives, too. Though little their reigns as Queens may be. Anyway great job so far and would look forward to upgrading to 5 stars should my suggestions be addressed.

Sir I loved how this app provides so much knowledge but pls I request you to make it better by adding some options like freely moving between millenniums , centuries, decades,and year plus I want you to add some more categories like adding evolution of earth or either providing option to reach both the ends of the app like from which aera this app provides info to the current year. Please try to make these changes for making this app more informative. Once again thanks for such an amazing app.

It provides an extremely warped version of history, completely ignoring major events happening in aisia and africa

Really awesome that you can filter certain nations timeline and linked to Wikipedia for more information. I have the Wikipedia app too so it makes it a perfect duo!

Love the app. But I would love to see an option to have long events stay up instead of show an end separately. For ease of comparison.

I have always wanted to make a time line of practically everything and now I don't have to :) A bit of honing to be done to improve the display and make it slick and user friendly but the important stuff is all there. Thank you!

This is amazing, just happened to come across it by chance; it's brilliant as a basic overview of world history and how everything fits together, especially considering that it's free, has no adverts and takes up so little space! Good job! :)

I really like the app and the concept behind it! I would also love to see an option to see the dates presented in the 'Human Era' timeline.

I Love this app.... Perfect knowledge of everything comes from sequential series of events...... Which is given in this app

Couldn't find any information on the Flintstones, but it's a pretty good app anyways. Good resources are hard to find, this one's a keeper.

Perhaps i had not the filters set properly,missing the battle of hastings in 1066

Impressive work. Athens didn't win the peloponnesian war though. A south American version would be great...

There should have been a parse script that can show the text within the app instead of taking us to the website every time.

Excellent. Easy to use and informative. Handy for when something pops up that grabs your interest in history. Thank you.
