Note: The app contains a large amount of content, and is slightly over 1GB in size, so may take some time to download. This free version of the app is fully functioning, and allows access to content covering just the first two months of the war. The rest of the Timeline WW1 content can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase. Video content within the app requires a wi-fi connection to view. Note: some film archive within the app has no audio.
