History SatNav for Families : The history app that talks to your kids in the car.
Travelling In Time turns every journey into a story. Plug your iPhone into CarPlay, and as you drive past a castle, a Roman road, a Tudor manor or a village church, the app notices and tells your children what happened there — in a friendly voice, in plain words, for ages 6 to 12.
There are over half a million historic places in the app, covering England, Scotland and Wales, with Northern Ireland's key sites too — plus 1,200+ UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the world. That's not just the famous landmarks. It's the ruined abbey you've driven past a hundred times, the pub that used to be a coaching inn, the field where a battle was fought. Your children will start asking "what's that?" — and finally get an answer.
WORKS WITH CARPLAY
Stories play through your car speakers, hands-free. Nothing to tap, nothing to read while driving. Just drive, and history comes to you.
A SATNAV THAT KNOWS ITS HISTORY
Built-in turn-by-turn directions take you to any site. Plan a day out around castles, Roman forts or stately homes, and let the kids pick where next.
MEET FIONA, YOUR GUIDE
Fiona introduces each place, reveals the stories behind the stones and answers the questions children actually ask. Tap "Gruesome Tales" (curated for kids — a grown-up can switch them off) if you dare — the Tudors were more fascinating, and more grisly, than any classroom admits.
LEARN WITHOUT NOTICING
Nearly a million quiz questions and 700,000 "Did You Know?" facts earn coins, badges and streaks. It feels like a game. It's the history curriculum — Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Tudors, Victorians and more — arriving one real place at a time.
EXPLORE FROM ABOVE
Not in the car? Fly over sites in stunning 3D, tap to land and explore, and listen as Fiona reads each story aloud.
THE WORLD'S GREATEST WONDERS, TOO
Beyond Britain, fly over 1,200+ UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Pyramids of Giza, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, Neuschwanstein Castle and hundreds more — each with its own story, facts and quiz.
