    Accesible wikipedia links make this app a one-stop shop for historical dates and their context.

    I use this as a bellringer in my 7th grade RLA classes. I've also recommended it to other teachers.

    This APP is an extraordinarily rare treat that gives one information for every day of the calendar year. It includes seemingly every known person, world event, world holiday's world customs, and much, much more. This APP stays current so one is able to attain as much information as they desire for that day of the year. Yet even with the plethora of information that is given for each day, with a touch of your finger, you can go as far as written records will allow you to. An astounding representation of what obviously was a gargantuan almost inconceivable effort to garner an endless amount of detailed information. Thank you!

    Love it! Make a more condensed live tile though, similar to weather. Plus, I made the tile large and still no pics=wasted space. Use that space to make me rate this 5 stars!!!!
