Ancient Origins

This app is now really easy to navigate and a lot more pleasing to the eye. I’ve never had problems with it but now it’s not basic and really stands out. Great content. Really interesting. Thanks

Nice app, brings to light stories from history that I had never encountered before.

A great app with constantly updated content. Super quality features.

Nice mix of science, history and Hokum.

The font size is sooooo small and there’s no option to change it. And it links to weird pages. It’s really cumbersome to use. Y’all should just try again and scrap this junk. BYW I am a paying customer

I recently discovered their website & love it. Decided to take a chance on this app due to the most recent review being positive. Absolutely worth it! Pages and especially images look fantastic on my phone. There are two main sections, Latest or Most Read. There are also several categories like Artifacts, Ancient Places, Unsolved, and more including one for Opinions. It seems to me there are more articles available through the app, although that may just be due to how easy it is to browse compared to the website. Previous 1 & 2 Star reviews had complained about excessive Ads. The only Ads I have seen is a half inch tall static banner across the bottom of my screen.

Downloaded app in may of 2020 - obviously in spite of all the pretty negative reviews and honestly can’t understand where they all came from. I have an iphone 11, and had this before a major update was dloaded and app has worked perfectly and seamlessly throughout. Not sure if these are older fixed issues or some other angle is being put forth - but I would personally highly recommend this and have. Articles are wide-ranging and interesting, can’t agree with comments that these are on an eighth grade level either. At any rate, just my opinion but I’m very pleased overall.

As others have mentioned, the articles are written at the middle school level and completely overlaid with advertisements. To the point where is nearly impossible to scroll down a single page before a redirect takes place. The app is simply a tool for click-bait.

After I tapped on a story, notification about it setting cookies came up. I could not tap that I agree because an ad quickly came and overlapped preventing me from doing so. It tried collapsing the app, then bringing it up, no difference. Next, I deleted, then reinstalled the app. Worse yet, the entire screen went black after opening the app. After I collapsed the app, I deleted it. I don’t know whether you app is incompatible with the latest iOS or has been affected by malware or both; but, it has ceased to be usable. I will try your website, instead.

I read the reviews and installed anyway thinking maybe they addressed reported issues- nope, needs a Zero star rating! Uninstalled after ten minutes, popup mini-video kept opening to a black, blank screen that played with nothing on it and could not even read one article... goodbye and good riddance
