This free app takes the daunting goal of ‘learning more about history’ and breaks it down in a fun, digestible, and practical way. Whenever you open the app, it presents you with important or unusual historical facts that happened on that day, in the past. You can browse by category - technology, entertainment, science, and sports, to name a few- or just you can visit the ‘events’ tab to see the timeline.
The app is also aesthetically pleasing, as each story is presented with engaging images. You can customize the setting to be notified once a day, or more often. Besides enriching your historical knowledge, this app is also a heartening reminder of how far we’ve come.

It seems like we’re drowning in information these days. You may feel you’re behind just for neglecting to check on a certain app for a few hours. Maybe you avoid certain news outlets deliberately as to not feel overwhelmed. Flipboard can help you aggregate and organize your news and social media in one place, just the way you want it. You decide which news and topics will appear on your feed.
From there all you really need to do is flip through the content and the app will update your feed based on what you interact with. There is also a simpler ‘Daily Edition’ feature, a daily roundup of the top stories from each category.
