Ratings and reviews

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.

This is a great app for all history buffs out there. I check it everyday to get my daily history lesson. The one thing i would suggest to make this app better is to add a feedback option. There are some things that I've noticed that either aren't entirely true, or the picture doesn't match the event/person. For instance, on March 2nd, for 1127, on the event of the assassination of Charles the Good, it shows a picture of Lee Harvey Oswald, which has nothing to do with it. Otherwise a great app 😁
