On this day... - App Review



This App is not one to tell you what to do on this day but, to remind (or educate) you of what happened in the past.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The screen looks like a day to view desk pad but, it is replete with information. By default, you start on today's date.

Events, Births, Deaths
Three of each category are displayed and you can then choose to view additional ones, usually many tens, sometimes over a hundred, or even more.

Touching any particular item then brings up an article with much more information.

Information
Pressing this will allow you to go to any particular date.

Cost
The App is absolutely free.

Indispensability
If you're into impressing people with your historical knowledge, this should be right up your street.

Dependability
This is an App optimised for the iPhone and works in 1x and 2x modes on an iPad.

The App is no longer supported as the developer, Sophia Teutschler, has moved onto pastures new.

It's a shame I didn't get round to reviewing it earlier.

Security
No issues.
