MORE FROM OUR READERS

I love waking up to KRONIKL every day. I find the content inspiring (if not inspirational), and it allows me to connect the dots between events past, our present and our anticipated future. In Thomas Monson's words: "The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it."

KRONIKL is my go-to for quick, insightful learning about history. It takes complex events, distills them into bite-sized stories, and ranks them by importance, making it easy to see why they matter today. I love how it brings historical context into perspective, helping me stay informed without overwhelming detail. It's educational and genuinely engaging!

KRONIKL is like nourishing brain food, helping me connect the dots between historical events and today’s world while offering deep insights into why these moments matter and how they resonate in our current environment. I appreciate its broad, global perspective—a refreshing change from the often overly US-centric approach of many other media sources.

KRONIKL is my little secret weapon. Knowing the history behind today’s date gives me a unique perspective, and it often makes for interesting conversations at work. It’s quick, insightful, and free, can’t ask for more. A quick glance once a day and I feel like I am fully up to date.

KRONIKL isn’t just for me — it’s become a family thing! Each day we talk about the story, and I get to show my kids that history is more than just a school subject. It’s fun, it’s relevant, and it’s teaching them to think critically. I wanted them to grow up with a broad, worldly understanding of the world we live in.
