A journey through time where each event is documented with social and historical context, several images, an illustrative timeline and little-known interesting facts. Custom made animations bring those events to life, creating an interesting, immersive learning experience. An imaginary clock will guide you through this quest, proposing a simple analogy: the entire Universe started 24 hours ago. The Big Bang, the source of time and space, is the first event in our journey – the clock reads 0:00 hours. Today, 13.7 billion years later, the clock reads midnight. In between is a sequence of key events that has brought us to where we are today. Explore them, place them in perspective, see how they relate and understand the connections. We invite you to take a step back and see the whole picture. :::: REVIEWS - iPad version :::: "The coolest history textbook you’ll find on the iPad" - Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times “The iPad could use more apps like this one.” - The Daily “...a beautifully executed lesson on the history of the universe and the evolution of life on earth. Great for high school students or parents who’d like to tutor younger children and enjoy a first-rate experience of their own...” - Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times “...the best iPad apps are those that combine coffee table-styled books with the fluid nature of the iPad’s interface. Back in Time is just that, it’s the story of the entire history of our universe made interactive on the iPad.” - Casey Chan, Gizmodo (App of the Day) “Back in Time is utterly gorgeous in its presentation. (...) The app is so easy to navigate that it is a delight to explore. Landka could scarcely have done a better job in putting everything together.” - Gwen Phua, Appmodo :::: FEATURES :::: Designed for iPhone; 47 chapters; Over 350 remarkable images; 60+ amazing animations and videos; 40+ illustrated timelines; More than 200 little-known interesting facts; Music by the compositor Rodrigo Leão; Developed in 7 different languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese); No internet connection required. ## Back in Time for iPhone Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/6a/fb/9e/6afb9ee9-71b1-f3ab-b211-a23a34d7bb1c/mzl.zyziauui.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/ed/fd/62/edfd623c-84a8-ab9c-d6e6-572213fdcce6/mzl.seiwqcrr.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/8f/8a/4c/8f8a4c21-0301-b2f2-cde5-f0ae395cf670/mzl.fcwvxcib.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/c1/04/a2/c104a284-add9-f264-cd69-a9ad5b759a9b/mzl.wkbqbfec.jpg/960x640.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/75/09/45/750945ea-6aac-33d5-f5e6-5fddd006e820/mzl.pxqpblsp.jpg/960x640.png) ## Back in Time for iPhone Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 9 (60%) - 4 stars: 2 (13%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 4 (27%) ## Back in Time for iPhone Reviews in United States ### *---- "Does not work" Just downloaded for use on my iPhone 10X Max. What a disappointment can’t get anything be on the first page. Really boring and a waste of money. Asking for help now will revise this review if I can get it fixed. -- Nitro3346, 2021-03-05 ### *---- "Doesn’t work anyMore" Used to work. Haven’t used it in a while. Was wonderful when it did work. What a shame -- Rebel817, 2020-02-24 ### *---- "Still can't get past the first screen" Oct 26 2018 - another viewer's recent comments are totally misleading. I was led to believe the problem has been fixed, but no, I still can't get past the first screen. It says move the clock hands and tap to enter. I nearly smashed my phone, no luck, never get past the first screen. C'mon it's been a year since the problem was reported, and you're still selling this broken app without a fix. Is it lawful? -- M1ndh4x3r, 2018-10-26 ### ***** "App Has Been Repaired and Now Works!" UPDATED REVIEW JUNE 2018: The app seems to be fixed now and is working properly as far as I can tell. Thank you, developer, for addressing these issues! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! MARCH 2018: The app just delivered an update a few hours ago. I launched the app after updating, and I cannot get past the first screen. I noticed another reviewer left a similar comment from this past November. Do not buy because this app doesn’t work — not even with the most recent update! I have an iPhone 6s Plus with the current iOS system. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED! -- hoodrat91910, 2018-06-28 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" Update for refund....agreed!!!! -- Kicker3456, 2018-02-03 ### ****- "Cool 😺" Cool 😺 Could be Cooler 😺 I like cats 😹 -- Supercat101😻, 2015-09-28 ### ***** "Should be on every kid's tablet" Whether they know it or not, every kid should have this app on their tablet or phone. There's nothing else like it. Imagine a huge atlas with hundreds of high-quality photos and illustrations, only this one also has animation and can sweep forward or backward in time in seconds. This is just what a growing mind needs to help it visualize the scope of the universe in space and in time. Dry concepts such as "the Earth is billions of years old" take on a completely different meaning when you can slide your finger across a screen and actually see time pass! This should be a standard reference app for every child's electronic library. -- ZiginBoston, 2014-12-31 ### ***** "Great for a Bus Ride!" Great for a bus ride home when you are tired and want to learn something and also be entertained. Interesting information with accompanying photos and videos! -- Patchi-Lo, 2014-12-13 ### ****- "Good,still missing some things" Overall it was good but you guys left out the civil,revolutionary,and some of the major battles(wars)but it was still a good app overall,if you like history,it's a good app to buy👍 -- A smart..smart college senior, 2014-01-06 ### ***** "Absolutely amazing" The very best. Hours of traveling through time from the beginning of the universe to present day. Videos included are awe inspiring, and information is backed by credible sources such as NASA and Stanford. -- AppleUser0826, 2013-09-01 ### ***** "Info wizard" It gave me so much info. I LOVE this app. I now know so much more than I did before I got this app -- grapewelch000, 2013-02-17 ### ***** "It took a minute to discover it all..." It falsely appears to be a mere timeline at first. It wasn't until I discovered I could click on the items as they emerged from the screen that I discovered all of the amazing video clips, facts, articles, and sideshows. A few careless errors in wording/grammar. Example: Big Bang section, item 4: Should be "resulted IN" not "resulted ON"... It's a shame to allow such careless errors to stain an otherwise perfect app. Other apps by this company have the same problem. A good copy editor is in order. (Yes, I am in the writing/editing biz. However, I don't think I'm the only person who notices these things.) It's definitely worth every penny! -- A Gadget, 2012-01-10 ### ***** "Perfect!" Wonderful application for people who love the story of earth and prehistoric times. Beautiful graphics! -- Saraband2002, 2011-12-27 ### ***** "Beautiful" I disagree with any who say this isn't worth it. I'm a student in highschool, I very much enjoy learning new things, especially science, even scientific history. I also love music, not just modern pop or anything, I love more classical pieces as well, and Back in Time mixes both of the previous exquisitely. The music, if you ask me, fits the concept beautifully, as it feels like it's playing a description of how, as time has progressed, things have changed so much in our small part of the universe, yet have remained unchanged at the same time. I sincerely hope that even more information will be added to this over time, though even if it isn't, I'll still love it. Hope I was able to put into words well enough just how much I appreciate and cherish this wondrous app. -- The Keeper of the Ring, 2011-12-13 ### ***** "I love it!" I disagree with people who say it isn't interactive enough. It's putting all of history in biite size amounts to help put it in perspective! I'd end up paying far more for a book that had this information, and this app includes videos, music and pictures! Great job! -- Nettopie@home, 2011-12-12 ### ***-- "UMmm" Great concept. Not enough information in each time frame though, interface is difficult. add more stuff -- JD_7, 2011-12-12 ### ***** "Wow" Very interesting -- Michael Silva, 2011-12-11 ### ***** "amazing..." It's amazing how much information is packed into this app - and the presentation is stunning. I use it to show my daughter history (large-scale!) - and I'm learning a lot as well. If you are familiar with the NOVA series, this is very much like watching an interactive version of that. [Note: someone else reviewed this as "just a timeline" - it most certainly is NOT just that. At any point you can jump into the epoch to see relevant imagery, animation, videos, and text.] -- mr_onenine, 2011-12-09 ### *---- "Save your money" There is nothing of note or great about this app. There was little to interact with. Seriously, it was a rip-off at 4.99. This should have been a free app that you down load check out and delete in 10 minutes. -- ScottSeattle, 2011-12-09 ### **--- "Underwhelmed" Graphically nice, but it's nothing more than a timeline. Some information about the events would be a major improvement. -- AaaaArgh!, 2011-12-09 [View all Back in Time for iPhone reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Back in Time for iPhone Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Argentina | Education | #3 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Overall | #7 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Education | #20 | | Top Paid | Lebanon | Education | #93 | | Top Paid | Ecuador | Education | #114 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Education | #125 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Education | #153 | | Top Paid | Chile | Education | #168 | | Top Paid | Peru | Education | #212 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Education | #216 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Education | #233 | | Top Paid | China | Education | #236 | | Top Paid | France | Education | #238 | | Top Paid | Romania | Education | #264 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Education | #267 | | Top Paid | Spain | Education | #284 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Education | #302 | | Top Paid | Greece | Education | #309 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Overall | #329 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Education | #331 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Education | #336 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Education | #348 | | Top Paid | India | Education | #376 | | Top Paid | Austria | Education | #381 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Education | #438 | | Top Paid | Israel | Education | #448 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Education | #476 | ## Back in Time for iPhone Discovered Keywords -
