Lessons in Herstory Hack 1.12 + Redeem Codes

This app and its idea is absolutely amazing!!! But the thing is, I can’t share it due to some stupid glitch! This really annoys me because I want to add it on my story on Instagram and share it with the world, but whenever I click the button, it makes me leave the app, the even more annoying part, is that I know that I probably I won’t get a response from the app’s developers because and this most likely won’t get fixed for a while.

I can’t thank you enough for creating something so important. And the graphics make it so approachable and fun!
The only thing I would point out is that Clara Barton is missing. She used her own money during civil war to bring medical supplies to the wounded soldiers at the frontline, wrote letters to their families so they could have closure, and fought for 10 years to establish the American Red Cross. She more than deserves to be shown next to Abraham Lincoln and all other important civil war heroes.

I try to scroll down on the list of women but it just scrolls back up a little bit. And when I zoom in on the story because it is tiny, it moves where I don’t want it. If this could be fixed, I would be happy.

As an African American woman I was grossly disappointed with this app. Except for one or two, every Black woman included in this app was a slave. While escaping slavery is a remarkable feat, it would be great if you included Black women who contributed to American society in over ways: ie doctors, politicians, activists, artists. It’s not super useful. I also wish you took the time to introduce girls to more women who aren’t in the history books. The big names are more likely to be there so why not include predominantly new names? If you don’t already have a Black person on your staff please get one ASAP. This app could be great but it’s severely lacking as it stands.

There are almost no Asian women in this app. What about activists like Grace Lee Boggs or Yuri Kochiyama? Or scientists like Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu? Architects like Maya Lin? Political leaders like Patsy Tokemoto Mink? Or leaders for Asian migrant worker rights Sue Ko Lee or Ai-Jen Poo? How were Asian women impacted by the Page Act and Exclusion Acts? And by Japanese Internment? What are the stories of resistance and fighting back? Focusing on stories of heroism doesn’t always do a good job of understanding the forces that cause invisibility. If this app seeks to make women more visible in history / Herstory, it needs to reconsider how invisibilization happens, and how to tell the stories of resistance without falling into the easy tropes of what a hero / shero looks like.

This app is amazing and I am so glad to have found it because o had no idea how little we learn about historical women in school and this is also great because I love reading about women throughout history but a lot of the women in this app I have never heard of so it’s really great they these incredible people are getting even a little recognition 😄😄😄

It’s absolutely gorgeous but so disappointing! I launched it and cannot figure out how to scan! The only option I have is “don’t have a textbook”... but I DO have the History of US series! Including book 5, which I know is the only book used right now. I just don’t know how to get the app to scan, since there’s nothing on the screen to do anything!

If I’m doing something wrong, I’d love to here what because I LOVE the idea of this app and it’s illustrations are fantastic! I want it to work! I’m happy to change my review once it works!

Ok I love this game, but I do have two requests. One, PUT Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the app! She has an AWESOME story, and more people should know Herstory (Ok sorry for the cheesy joke.). Two, you don’t have to, but, add more women. No more requests it really is an AMAZING app! Thank you for reading this and thank you for making this app! -Me (I’m not sharing my name)

As a teenager, which my opinion won’t matter, I am here to say as a female that this app could be doing more harm that help. Hear me out, the app replaces the male figures presented and replaces them with females. This could just make matters worse in the long run. Yes it is teaching important facts but it could seem as if you are trying yet again to make us seem more superior over men. Now I am just talking about the AR mode.

The app is good for information but most of the curriculum of schools doesn’t focus on women of the past. I believe that children should learn the same amount of women and men history. I like how you can search women and click on them to learn info. The app glitches sometimes but this can be easily fixed with updates for bugs
