Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
In this version I mainly worked on how far a timeline can reach. There is hardly a limit any more: it runs from the Big Bang to today, and a single zoom brings all of it onto one screen. Earth & Life A new built-in collection, free for everyone: 79 entries from the Big Bang to the last mammoth. Geological eras, the first life, the dinosaurs and the rise of humans, each with a link to its Wikipedia article. Show it from the Collections tab. Billions of years at a glance The timeline now reaches as far as your entries reach. Zoomed all the way out, every collection fits on one screen, whether it spans two hundred years or four billion. More categories Sport and Nature have been added. You can create as many categories of your own as you like, and once typed they are there for your next entry. Plus many small fixes and improvements.

About
Who lived at the same time as Mozart, Van Gogh, or Napoleon? Parallel lays out several timelines at once, and the connections that usually stay hidden appear at a glance. It's your tool for assembling history around what interests you. Ten curated collections come built in, from earth history and the arts to sciences, rulers, empires, buildings, and the events that shaped history. They make it easy to start and give you a taste of what Parallel can do. The rest is yours to shape. For the curious, for the classroom, for everyone who loves history. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Swipe and zoom through the millennia, from antiquity to today. • Line up exactly the collections that fascinate you. • Highlight a person and see their contemporaries at a glance, while everything else fades into the background. • Open any entry for a clear, concise biography or summary, with a link to Wikipedia. • Bring dates and the Wikipedia link straight from Wikidata into your own entry. • Follow a single thread through time, filtered by topic, place, era, and more. • Create your own collections and fill them with what matters to you. • Zoom out from a single year all the way to 13.8 billion years. Every built-in entry is carefully researched, historically grounded, and fact-checked. Try it for free Ancient Rome is included as a ready-made sample collection, no Pro needed. In a few seconds you see how a collection comes together, and it stays with you afterwards. Buy once, no subscription. You buy Parallel just once. The Pro upgrade lifts every limit: unlimited collections and entries, creating and filling your own collections from a spreadsheet or from copied text, your own copies of the built-in collections, and exporting the whole timeline as a PDF. No hidden costs. If you want to go deeper into specific topics, optional premium collections are available. Private and offline Your entries stay on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. The app works offline. Only the Wikidata look-up needs an internet connection. History belongs to everyone, but your data belongs to you.
