Timeline 3D: Education Edition at Mac App Store analyse

Das Tool ist im grunde simpel, funktioniert aber nicht wirklich gut. Leider habe ich sogar die edu-Version gekauft. Die exportierte Webseite verlinkt aber nicht auf die hinterlegten url. Der Abgleich mit der iOS-Version klappt auch nicht, da dort das alte Format gespeichert wird. In der Präsentation letztlich auch unpraktisch. Keine Empfehlug. Hätte gern mein Geld zurück.

I was a happy user of BeeDocs predecessor to this from around 2008, before there was an App store. The old version of Timeline would indicate the range of dates by a horizontal line from the start to end date. That’s important for teaching: I want to show events that happened during a person’s life or during a war, or how events in Roman history overlap. This version doesn’t do that — at all. The old version also let me create multiple rows on the same timeline: this doesn’t. In fact, this new version can do little more than sort a rudimentary database. This was a vast disappointment and a waste of a perfectly good $25.

I used this app a few years ago and it was awesome. It had great features and was easy to use. Now it’s just a dumb timeline maker with a useless 3D component to it that serves no useful purpose to it. It has links in the data entry, but they don’t show up anywhere in the timeline for you to click on. Totally useless. The tags are useless too since they also don’t appear anywhere in the timeline view and don’t appear to be searchable there either. What’s the point? In past versions, I liked the bars showing the length of the events. I liked the text editor tools to change color. I liked the ability to edit directly in the timeline. But all that is no longer here!!! What happened?!?!?!?!?! I am super annoyed and disappointed by this app now. It used to be great, but now it just is not worth much.
