World Timeline is now free — and if you already bought it, you keep the ad-free version automatically, no action needed. This release is mostly about getting the history right. • Historical borders are fixed. Years from 1900 to 2010 were quietly showing today's borders instead of the borders of that year, so 1914 looked like a modern map of Europe. Every year now renders the real historical map for its period. • The map no longer pretends to change when it hasn't. Dozens of year files across the 1800s and early 1900s were duplicates of each other, which made the globe look like it was updating year by year when it wasn't. The slider now only lands on genuinely distinct maps and tells you which year's borders you are looking at. • Country write-ups are era-aware. Tapping a country at an ancient year used to hand back a description of the modern nation — you could stand in 3283 BC and read about a government that would not exist for another five thousand years. Ancient years now say plainly that the outline is a modern border shown for orientation, and modern write-ups at any pre-1900 year are labelled as present-day reference. • Empty regions explain themselves. Uncolored land used to read "Unknown polity." It now says that no state-level polity is mapped there and why — most of those areas were held by decentralized peoples rather than by a kingdom with fixed borders. • Event category filters actually filter. Choosing "War" used to still list every timeline event alongside the wars. Categories now apply to the whole event list, with an "All" chip to clear them. • New in the About tab: a "Check for updates" button. New history and fixes have always arrived on their own in the background, but applying one meant closing and reopening the app twice. Now you can pull an update and restart straight from About. You will also find the app version, the content date, and a link to leave a rating. • The timeline scroll no longer snaps to a random year while you drag it. • Fixed a layout bug that made the year read vertically, one character per line, for anyone using iPhone Display Zoom. Questions or corrections: washeone@outlook.com — every email gets read.
