Terms of Use

Effective 1 November 2026

These terms cover the Previously app and this website. Previously is made by Tomer Abramovich, an individual developer ("we"). By using the app, you agree to these terms.

Apple's license agreement

You get the app from the App Store, so Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to it, including to purchases made in the app. These terms add to Apple's. If the two conflict, Apple's agreement wins.

Free and Premium

Some chapters are free. Premium unlocks the rest. Before you pay, the app shows what is free, what Premium includes and what it costs.

Test versions

Test versions of Previously come through Apple's TestFlight, and Apple's TestFlight terms apply to them too. They are free, may contain errors, may stop working when the test ends, and may not include everything the App Store version will. Please do not share their content outside the test.

Subscriptions and purchases

• Premium is sold as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
• Apple takes the payment and charges your Apple ID.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• If we ever change the price, Apple tells you first, and asks for your consent where the law requires it.
• A lifetime purchase is paid once and unlocks Premium for as long as we offer the app.

Free trials

If a plan includes a free trial, the app shows its length before you start. You pay nothing until the trial ends. If notifications are on, the app reminds you two days before the first charge. Cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged.

Cancelling

Cancel any time in the app (Settings > Manage subscription) or in iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. After you cancel, Premium stays on until the end of the period you paid for.

Refunds

Apple handles refunds. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

About the content

Every chapter is sourced, fact-checked against its sources and reviewed before it ships. Even so, mistakes can happen, and historians disagree on many questions. Previously is for general learning. It is not professional or academic advice. Check the cited sources before relying on a detail for study, research or publication.

Narration uses a synthetic voice. Most historical photos are colorized, and the colors are an interpretation; the original prints are kept in the app's Archive. Chapters cover war and violence, and some describe disturbing events.

If you find an error, please tell us (see Support). We correct confirmed errors.

What you may do with the app

You may use the app for your own personal, non-commercial learning. Please do not copy, resell, redistribute or scrape the chapters, narration or images, or try to get around the paywall. Sharing a chapter with the share button is fine.

Ownership

The app, its text, narration and design belong to us or to the people who license them to us. Historical photos and other third-party material belong to their owners and are used under their licenses. They are credited in the app under Settings > Credits & Licenses. These terms do not give you any rights in our names or logos.

Availability and changes

We add and revise chapters over time, and may change or remove features. We try to keep the app working, but cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors.

Liability

The app is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid for the app in the past 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

Ending these terms

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. If you break these terms, we may end your access, but we will not take away a paid period without a refund where the law requires one.

Your rights as a consumer

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update this page and its date. If the change is significant, we will also tell you in the app.
