Description

This Day in HistoryforiPad is an interactive multimedia calendar that displays historical events for the current day or any selected day, along with related media such as photos, illustrations, music, and speeches. You can hear the national anthems of countries on the day they became a nation, listen to presidents speeches on the anniversaries of their inaugurations, and play sound clips from famous artists on their birthdays.

Background text that appears for each event concentrates on interesting aspects that you might not know. For example, did you know that Vermont was an independent republic for 14 years before becoming a state and that George Washington at one point considered sending troops to overthrow the Vermont government? Each event also hasatleast one picture for every event, so you can experience the people and places making each day in history famous. The journey begins here, each and every day.

What's New in Version 3.0.3

Fixed the calendar dates to match the current year.

Customer Reviews

If you enjoy history (5 stars)
This is one of my most favorite apps. It is beautiful, informative and just plain enjoyable. If you'r not interested in history you will not enjoy this, but if you like to find out about what history has to
tell us, this is the app for you.

Too Many "Born Today" (2 stars)
Very basic. Too many "born today". I'd like to know a little more about history than just everyone's birthday (or death date).

Hammy (3 stars)
I must be missing something. My downloaded app only shows 3 or 4 events per day and most of them are not of significant happenings. Usually the birth of some unknown person. The display is great and graphics are beautiful. But not enough information or history to be useful.
