Paladin: Learn History

Not only is the layout of this app easy to navigate, it also keeps you engaged while learning. The passages are enjoyable to read and keep you interested. I’m a high school student who has a love for history but a distaste for the education system. This app is exactly what I need to WANT to learn.

They decided to use pop culture wording to describe the historical events, I feel like it takes away from the understanding of the literature. It feels like a 19 year old woke college kid giving a short history lesson, very underwhelming. I can see where they were trying to go with this, (making history more relatable to the younger crowd) but I was actually looking forward to detailed historical timelines, literature, quotes, and feats. This just feels amateurish. I hate to say it like that because there was obviously a lot of work put into its development, but the format just isn’t for me

Started today with the lesson about Caligula. Already found a typo - during the quiz, “island” is spelled “islad”. This is just plain careless, sloppy work. If you can’t bother to spell island correctly how can I trust that you got your historical facts correct. Incredibly disappointed. Won’t be renewing after my free trial.

This app is touted as a way to learn more about great leaders. They information is very surface level, and there are only 11 leaders on the app! I paid for three months and could get through these 11 leaders in less than a week! I think these reviews are padded because the only REAL reviews are low.

This is a semi-solid app. Three things: 1. There are way too many typos. I’m talking about obvious errors. 2. The “stories” need more depth. 3. The quizzes need to be sharpened. They aren’t lashed well enough to the lessons. I’ll wait for an improved version.

Tries to get you into a subscription. Be careful. Also, there is a simple spelling error under “my subscription” tab. “Collect gread (not great lol) leaders”

I specifically looked up if this app was free, or was some type of trial to try to get you to set it up, and then forget that you’re paying for it. I couldn’t find info online, but it is one of those apps, and not worth the cost.

While the graphics and abridged lessons that are put in the context of personal perspective are very nice, the quizzes are unpolished with questions covering topics not reviewed (I.e. you have to totally guess), and the app seems to have difficulties with the swipe cards and retaining new chapter progress.

Absolutely not worth USD 79.99, I prefer learning for free on instagram.
