Histia: World History Facts is an English-language iOS app that presents history through short stories, daily facts, narration, quizzes, and a map through time. Stories can be read, and published narrated stories pair synchronized captions with changing visuals. Its map spans 3000 BCE to 2025; some markers open published stories, while others are marked as coming soon. Quiz rounds are available for question sets that have been published. The app records favorites, streaks, and progress in a History Passport. Histia says its articles draw on published historical records, link sources, and describe disagreements where evidence is unsettled. AI assists narration and some visuals, as well as drafting and structuring website content; an editor checks factual claims against listed sources. The app cautions that educational material may be dramatized or AI-generated and may contain inaccuracies or unintended biases. Histia is intended for people learning in short sessions during gaps in a busy day, not as a complete school course or exam-preparation program. It requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later. It is free to download with optional in-app purchases; premium access costs 7.99 USD per month or 69.99 USD once.
