Fantastic
This is great to be able to read about worthy past events. Even though it's free today, I still think it worth every penny that I paid for it last month. I would like to see an option to increase the font size for us "old timers". An option to email the list of events for that day would be nice.
Interesting
I like this app. Would be better with copy/paste or share function.
On this day
This is simply amazing. It ought to be on everyone Smartphone. It gives a quick daily historical blurb (and lots of them). If you see something interesting, you can click on it and it takes you on an direct Internet search (usually starting at the topic over on Wikipedia) to quickly research the historical event as deeply as you need to about what happened. It is a good general research starting point. I love this app!!!
