Pretty but useless
The globe and timeline functions of this app are very pretty and might be useful for helping students visualize historical changes on a geographic scale. Beyond that there is little to recommend this app. The facts are mere trivia and major events are ignored. The bread riots in France pop up, but no mention is made of the French Revolution. The size of Germany varies significantly between 1932 and 1944 with no explanation. When the timeline is set to 1860, the only pop-up that appears tells us Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. There was a presidential election in 1860, some guy named Lincoln was elected. This election was of more profound historical significance than the opening of the first chocolate factory in Germany. Guess which one made the cut? Without significant updates to the database, including corrections to errors, it is not worth the money!
