Histia: World History Facts vs Learn History: Timeline Quiz

Histia: World History Facts is an English-language iOS app for exploring history through short stories, daily facts, narration, quizzes and a map through time. Stories can be read; published narrated stories pair synchronized captions with changing visuals. Its historical map covers 3000 BCE to 2025, though some markers open stories and others are marked as coming soon. Quiz rounds are available where question sets have been published, and the app records favorites, streaks and progress in a History Passport. Histia says its articles draw on published historical records, link their sources and note disagreements where evidence is unsettled. AI assists narration, some visuals and website content drafting; an editor checks factual claims against listed sources. The app cautions that learning material may be dramatized or AI-generated and may contain inaccuracies or unintended biases. It requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later and is not a complete school course or exam-preparation program. It is free to download, with optional in-app purchases; premium access is listed at $7.99 a month or $69.99, paid once.

Learn History: Timeline Quiz teaches history through interactive timelines, flashcards, quizzes, and a Pyramid Challenge. The app covers 49 topics across nine sections, including antiquity, regions, wars, historical figures, and eras. Quiz formats include multiple choice, true or false, and chronological ordering, and there is no timer. Additional readings appear within timelines, flashcards, and quiz sections.

The app is available in English, French, and Spanish. Its free search can find a name, place, or year and jump to an event, and Apple Game Center support includes leaderboards and achievements. The free plan includes 27 topics, with no subscription or account required. Coins cost $0.99 as a one-time purchase. Plus (Lifetime) costs $6.99, paid once and adds 22 Plus themes and future themes, unlimited Pyramid Challenge hearts, unlimited quiz hints, and no coin loss for wrong answers. The listing specifies iPhone and iPad compatibility, requiring iOS 18.6 or later and iPadOS 18.6 or later, respectively. The developer indicates the app does not collect data; Apple notes that such developer-provided privacy practices are not verified by Apple.
