Today In History for Android
The Today In History widget brings you a daily summary of news and events for the current day of the year. The widget updates periodically to keep your home screen fresh and interesting.
Great app. Those who complain about having the same info every day, stop being lazy and take two seconds to push the update button.
Was working good, today widget is blank. Must be in violation of google's new privacy policy, we no longer have any privacy, And to know what really h
Stopped working Just displays the same old events forever. Delete. Today it is actually just displaying a list html tags.
Does the bare minimum. Can't even sort from newest to oldest. Can't increase the font size either. Poor GUI interface. Great concept, though.
Used to be great. I loved it. Now it won't refresh. Keeps saying its unable to fetch data from network.
Good app.. you have to refresh it to get the new date is only bad thing
Was great until it stopped working. Won't refresh the dates... Stuck on October 25th... Uninstalling
And why does it need to know where I am? Uninstall
Download wikim from bread & butter instead. They have a the same thing but from wikipedia
Maybe the drummer for def lepard had 6 left arms to lose... but im betting this app just sucks.
Okay, but doesn't allow you to read the whole text on the widget
I seem to be getting a lot of repeats, as if there are only three pre loaded happenings in history for the whole month...
Hasn't updated in over a week but untill then I loved it
It's today in US history really and not very interesting at that.
Worked well until 2011. Does not automatically refresh. Droid
It didnt even recognize 2day was juneteenth..also said it was fathers day =...uninstalling after 2 mins
Love this app! Wish there were more facts but definitely a must have for history lovers!
Said the same thing for 2 days now.
The design hasn't been updated in half a decade. It was great in 2010, not as much now.
To those complaining about certain events not in the app... This app cannot contain all historical events. People expect for too much these days...
Good one Worth having it It looks at the world with American eyes though
Everyday is the same stuff only the date has changed really a waste of time to even open the app I hope they can fix the problem to make it more inter
Ok, but has to be manually updated each day. Also, a bit too focussed on American history.
Love the facts.. should give web links/reference pgs to the facts source!
Pretty cool, fun stuff..some misspelled words and wrong info
This app is pretty cool, but it looks like crap on my Samsung Note.
...needs to have calendar function to look up different days than just the system date. In case I miss a day, need to look back, or just get curious.
If you're having trouble with updates, please click the widget press menu and refresh. I'm working to find the source of the issue. -dev
Like the daily facts. Sometimes it updates daily other times i refresh it. Its all good either way.
What happened? I now have to manually refresh everyday. It used to do the refresh automatically.
Can copy to clipboard as well as share to many venues (+) ...Has unique items not listed on other history apps (+) ...Has computer language 1984 and no date when copy/sharing :( no option to search or look up a date other than today :( ...must hit "refresh" each day to update :/
This app would be great if it updated. Needs work.
Nice concept.. bt needs better widgets.. would be awesome if we could get more info on web by clicking the events..
Love this app!! Wish I could go back at least a week!
Just like everyone else. Doesn't update... Pointless
It good information but its not updated enough to keep.
Interesting. Would love to be able to select black or white theme, like dev's other widgets
Widget is awesome for daily use. I learn a lot
Was great till the other day, stuck on a past date now. Won't load anything. Prolly uninstall if not fixed.

Used to use this most days. It won't refresh now even though the date changes. Widget shows a pertinent entry but on opening the app it shows all old stuff. I'm bored with it now so uninstalling. Shame.
