For iPhone/iPod touch download - Back in Time for iPhone

Back in Time will take you on a stunning exploration of the history of our Universe, Earth, Life and Civilization. A journey through time where each event is documented with social and historical context, several images, an illustrative timeline and little-known interesting facts. Custom made animations bring those events to life, creating an interesting, immersive learning experience.

An imaginary clock will guide you through this quest, proposing a simple analogy: the entire Universe started 24 hours ago. The Big Bang, the source of time and space, is the first event in our journey – the clock reads 0:00 hours. Today, 13.7 billion years later, the clock reads midnight. In between is a sequence of key events that has brought us to where we are today. Explore them, place them in perspective, see how they relate and understand the connections.

We invite you to take a step back and see the whole picture.

:::: REVIEWS ::::

“...a beautifully executed lesson on the history of the universe and the evolution of life on earth. Great for high school students or parents who’d like to tutor younger children and enjoy a first-rate experience of their own...”
- Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times

“The iPad could use more apps like this one.”
- The Daily

“...the best iPad apps are those that combine coffee table-styled books with the fluid nature of the iPad’s interface. Back in Time is just that, it’s the story of the entire history of our universe made interactive on the iPad.”
- Casey Chan, Gizmodo (App of the Day)

“Back in Time is utterly gorgeous in its presentation. (...) The app is so easy to navigate that it is a delight to explore. Landka could scarcely have done a better job in putting everything together.”
- Gwen Phua, Appmodo

A beautiful app both in appearance and use. A must for all!

Back in Time is an app that really utilises the power of the iPad for delivering beautiful content in an easy to use format. It begins with the Big Bang and ends with the Human Genome Project. A timeline of major events from the beginning to now. It's visually stunning and beautiful to navigate through. The first night I got it I spent hours exploring it. I couldn't put it down. The ability to slide so beautifully backwards and forwards through time either by the graphics or via the clock is fantastic. The mix of text, pictures and video is so very nicely put together. They have successfully been able to condense billions of years into a small app and allow us to understand and visualise just how small that portion of time for which man has existed. They have tried to break away from the book type feel that normally accompanies many such apps and this new format works so much better while still providing vast quantities of easily accessible content. When I was a child this was my World Encyclopedia, my Space Encyclopedia, books that I would spend hours reading and flipping through. This experience for my kids is so much richer, accessible and enjoyable. A must for all.

Back in Time review

Impressive teaching app, helps being more life into a history class. Excellent support too. Had a sound problem (my fault) and they helped me rectify it immediately.
