One of the perks of living in a more technology-centric era is that you have access to vast amounts of information. There are apps for just about anything now, and if you have a fascination with history, here are several of them that could interest you.
1. Historical Calendar
What better way to keep in touch with your love for the past than a daily dose of significant historical events? Historical Calendar can provide you with an important historical event on that day, like being notified about Julius Caesar's death every March 15th.
You can even save the events that you like and participate in quizzes to keep you sharp on historical facts and information. You can also use the filter to only view certain periods that you like such as ancient history or the contemporary period.
2. History Quiz
If you liked the quizzes in Historical Calendar, then you'd appreciate History Quiz, as suggested by Make Use Of. The entire app is solely for testing your knowledge of the events of the past. You can even choose between categories you'd like.
You can test yourself on famous dates, prehistory, ancient history, and so on. There are particular topics you can pick as well such as modern history or World War I. After answering, the app will also show you interesting facts and explanations about the subject.
3. History Vault
The app is actually a streaming service that lets you watch documentaries about certain periods or important figures in history. It's a gold mine for someone who wants to watch documentaries that are backed by a channel dedicated to the subject.
Of course, quality content comes at a price most of the time, which is the case for the app. There's a seven-day free trial, but after that, you'll have to pay $4.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly. But, you'll be able to learn about topics like science history, world history, war history, and more.
4. History Timeline
It's easy to mix up the days, months, and years of all the important events in human history, especially since it stretches out thousands of years back. So, it's helpful to have a fully comprehensive overview to understand the actual sequence of events.
History Timeline, as suggested by Android Authority, offers information from ancient history through the 21st century, as well as the evolution of life. It has thousands of entries so you'll be sure that it will have every important event you can think of in the timeline overview.
5. History Today
If you've heard of the magazine of the same title and love its content, then you'd be glad to know it has an app. It is the most respected history magazine, according to the app description, which is justified given the amount of research efforts they make to put the topics together.
You'll be able to read about famous Egyptian pharaohs, monarchs, and other important political figures like Winston Churchill or George Washington. The monthly subscription is $3.99 a month or $44.99 a year, which is cheaper than buying individual issues for $4.99.
