Best app. Available in French and in English. I never have space on my phone, but this is one I never delete. Super informative, fun, bite-sized education and doesn't take up much space anyway.

Widget doesn't work with latest update on Samsung Galaxy S9+. Notifications don't work. Please fix. Nice app. otherwise.

Very cool app, the info is concise and just the right amount to be a "snippet of history". More pictures would possibly be welcome, but maybe not necessary? worth a try?
