For iPad download - Back in Time

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.

"The coolest history textbook you’ll find on the iPad"
- Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times

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

“...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 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

Fantastic app about world history

I was looking for a world history timeline (with focus on geology and animals). But most apps (although there were few to start with) had difficulty in putting 14 billion years of earth history in an app that offers both a clear overview and is attractive to read as well. I think the makers of this app did a great job. It is really fun to use it. The way you can scroll through historic stages by flipping these beautiful icons, the opportunity to switch between text, images, animations. The timescale that quickly lets you see where you are in time.... I intended to use it as a reference tool but must admit that I was so intrigued by the beautiful pictures and animations that I 'read the whole book' (because that is how it feels), and it gave me a new grasp of what happened during the 23 hours and 58 minutes in a day, before humans evolved in the last two minutes. Comparing this app to a wonderful picture book about earth history, the price is really worthwhile.
