Ratings and reviews

There is still good in the world. What would possess Timleg to produce such a useful thing? We do a little bit of "on this day" every morning and it great to be able to zoom in on this app to see that else was happening in the period. Always though that was what was missing from "school" history what was happening in parallel areas & fields. Its the network of connections that really helps in learning and understanding history. Someone mentioned an individual country filter but perhaps moving borders rule that out or maybe it could be done and we should pay for that upgrade. Should be a Nobel award for apps and this would be a serious contender. Thank you so much.

Everyone has already exhausted superlatives in describing how good this app is, but I'll say this: had I had this app when I was in school, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have hated history as much as I did. Kudos to the developer. A small suggestion: when bookmarking an event, I'm only able to add it to one custom list. One should be able to add an event like to more lists. It'll help in detailed, decluttered comparisons like one list for comparing Europe and India, one for Europe and Japan, etc.

Surreal. Whoever put this together deserves a lot more recognition. It might seem a straightforward idea: historical events all across the world arranged in a timeline. But somebody took the effort to bring it all together with a simple intuitive user interface. This is brilliant! Timleg, you know what would be more brilliant? A map interface with the events depicted on location on the map and the time range selected using a slider control. You can do it man! 😀
