Histia: World History Facts vs World History Encyclopedia App

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.
