Stele is a history learning app for Android and the web, with interactive maps, animated tours, lessons, timelines and quizzes. Map tours show historical events unfolding as borders, cities and campaigns change. Lessons provide a brief summary alongside deeper context; Battle mode narrates armies moving along real routes. Voices presents social-media-style posts attributed to people from the past, but its dialogue is creatively imagined, not historical quotation, and should not be cited as such. Listed timeline subjects include Rome, Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, American history, World War I and World War II. Guided study paths, quizzes and knowledge checks offer ways to explore and review topics. The Rise and Fall of Rome timeline is free to explore. Stele says there are no subscriptions or recurring charges; other timelines require a single purchase, and new timelines may be optional one-time add-ons. Google Play reports no data collected and none shared with third parties.
