GeaCron History Maps

Too much lag to be useful. Also how about links to Wikipedia pages detailing the significant events? This, and a slightly more user friendly interface could make this app really amazing! Maybe even some quizzes too…?

Good concept bad execution can’t use it without it lagging

No historical information at all

I’ve been thinking for ages how great an global history map would be to shows changes to country borders/cities and/or significant historical events. Turns out exactly the thing existed! It’s not the graphically most advanced app you’ll find - but excellent guide and a brilliant teaching tool.

I’ve long been a fan of historical atlases and have been waiting for an app on the iPad which gave a year-by-year account and this is it! It’s clear and easy to follow and covers the world in a sensible way right back to 3,000BC! The way one can step forward or back in steps of 1, 10, 100 years etc. Is very neat tho it took me a few minutes to spot. Americans may be surprised the USA doesn’t appear till 1784 but it seems reasonable. It also has a sensible treatment for “uncharted” territories. The Wikipedia links are very extensive and appropriate and support the decision for it to be an online app, which also keeps the footprint small.

My partner stumbled across the main website after searching for exactly this type of historical-slider-geopolitical map, and I was very glad to see they had an app too and we both purchased straight away. Its strength is in its simplicity, as you glean a lot of perspective from the year by year shifts of tribe movements, cultures and national sovereignty. It's also surprisingly in depth for the amount of megabytes used too, you can zoom in to produce an even more detailed map. Excellent app, highly recommended.

I love the concept but I can’t seem to even be able to use the app because every time when I go on it just brings me to a Blank screen and I’ve tried everything to fix it

It worked great and one day I got in it and nothing will load

I love the idea behind the app, but at this point the concept needs to be modernized and streamlined. The server seems to go down frequently, and the map could be updated with more topological information and greater detail.

Like seriously
