Ancient Origins

I recently discovered their website & love it. Decided to take a chance on this app due to the most recent review being positive. Absolutely worth it! Pages and especially images look fantastic on my phone. There are two main sections, Latest or Most Read. There are also several categories like Artifacts, Ancient Places, Unsolved, and more including one for Opinions. It seems to me there are more articles available through the app, although that may just be due to how easy it is to browse compared to the website. Previous 1 & 2 Star reviews had complained about excessive Ads. The only Ads I have seen is a half inch tall static banner across the bottom of my screen.

Downloaded app in may of 2020 - obviously in spite of all the pretty negative reviews and honestly can’t understand where they all came from. I have an iphone 11, and had this before a major update was dloaded and app has worked perfectly and seamlessly throughout. Not sure if these are older fixed issues or some other angle is being put forth - but I would personally highly recommend this and have. Articles are wide-ranging and interesting, can’t agree with comments that these are on an eighth grade level either. At any rate, just my opinion but I’m very pleased overall.

Content from AO is always wonderful, application itself is not well-developed. I used to read articles on the app almost daily before it started freezing up on me and would never load. I kept the app hoping for bug fixes, but finally had to delete it today after a year of not being able to use it.
