Los Angeles, California – On this day in history, Downshift LLC is proud to announce the release of Today In History 4.0, a massive update to its wildly popular educational app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. ‘Today in History’ provides headlines, quotes and stunning images of important historical events. Whether you are a history buff or a casual trivia-time fan, ‘Today in History’ has something for every user – and the latest version offers an even greater treasure trove of fascinating historical information than ever!
“We continuously update the data to include the most captivating bits of historical trivia we can find,” says Manuel Zamora, the founder of Downshift LLC. “Our staff works hard to collect the best and most fascinating facts and to keep improving the app’s features, allowing our users to easily search, learn, share, and save their favorite bits of information.”

This feature delivers timeless wisdom curated from world-changing people in history, and lets users share these quotes on Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
“We find that our app users want to tell family and friends about events or ideas that have time-honored and historical significance, and resonate with them,” Zamora added. “The ability to share our interests, even when it’s just a fun tidbit of trivia, is sometimes the most important part.” This Historical update is now live and available for iOS users on the App Store.
