Really cool app. I wish the home screen widget would be improved though. I would like to change the color of the background and text, at least the transparency. I don't want a half opaque white. Would be nice if it was fully opaque like most other widgets or a more pleasant transparent black. Give us a full color selector. For the top bar as well. We're limited to ten colors, but you could put a color spectrum selector so we can choose whatever we want

I like the app and I bought the pro version to remove ads and to customize the widget. If possible in a future update I'd like to see a feature to filter what events you'd like to see, for example, events/births/deaths from the US (only 🫣🫢),celeb or more positive events. I understand that history isn't all daises and roses. But there's a lot about ppl getting killed and wars. So it'd be nice if there were a filter that a person could turn on/off. Also more widget colors and/or font color.

Dear Monique, really appreciate your suggestion. Indeed, a filter is on our list of future improvements and you are right that it would make a lot of sense to better find the events you are interested in, more easily. For more suggestions on what to improve, for the widget also, please do not hesitate to write us at historical.calendar@gmail.com
