Reviews

Must have staff that likes its vacation

The app seldom has new stories. There is no content added for the entire month of December, and often goes weeks before adding anything new. MOST of the time I open the app just to close it wondering when they might actually add anything new.


Biased as usual
Ballen1

Thought this would be an interesting app and then the liberal agenda smacked me in the face. Advocation of communes where sex with anyone is guilt free on top of an article right below that on “women sexual harassment movement is born” all pretty lame and uninteresting stuff. Giving it two stars because the concept is decent if the creator of the app and contributors realized it’s 2018 and nobody cares about liberals opinions anymore.


Amazing!!!

This app is amazing! It tells u the truth about a ton of hidden history of hidden news!!! Very non bias in so many aspects!


So blatantly liberally biased, it's nauseating.
Angela W Moore

This is not news, it's a liberal narrative disguised as news. I'm not even conservative and it's abundantly obvious that there's an agenda here. How about stories from all sources and views instead of the ones that fit your needs?


Lots of irrelevant progressive articles
DJBSFO

Just another feed for BuzzFeed and Huffpo..... little content , countless articles ideology and social activism ......


Not news at all
Kautexas

Timeline is an interesting concept, providing a way to look at subjects with historical context. The problem with that is, the devs are using a specific resource list for context. For ex: a story about Min. Wage shouldn't have references from Slate, fivethirtyeight, and political writers in newspapers. That's not history, that's just slant. It feels more like Buzzfeed or the Huffington Post, only difference being the writers he just make stuff up.


Slanted to the left
LovetochangemyIDs

Is not moderate like I am. Is not right. This timeline wants a known criminal and liar in the Oval Office. It is time to end the crime in our government!!!!!!


Biased, uninformed, and subjective opinions about "history"
Cameroontronsky

Gave the app a second try. New skin, same problems. Note to Timeline's developer's and writers: History belongs to the world, and deserves to be told from such a perspective. Instead it is dug up and subjectively reinterpreted by your writers in a white, liberal (and I'm a Democrat), irreligious American-centered perspective. History is to be respected, not politicized. This apps developers and writers feign scholarship and fail miserably. "Sources" are a good try, but they all link to absolutely bogus articles that have no relevance to the stories. I'll keep trying this app because it's such a great idea. But I'll keep giving it scathing reviews until it lives up to the respect that history deserves. Or it could just focus on the history of frivolous subjects like as pop culture trends, where scholarship and professionalism are much more forgiving. In the app's present state, it already seems well-suited to the task (see article about history of Kanye running for president).


Skewed hard to the preachy, complain-y Left
Alan Terego

"George Washington was our first straight, white, male president, setting a disturbing precedent" 30% of the articles presented were some version of "white people are racist." Yikes.


Racist, sexist, homophobic. In other words, it's blatantly biased
