FIVE NEW LEGENDS Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt as king and was cut out of her own monuments twenty years after she died. Imhotep, born to nobody in particular, who stacked six stone tombs into the tallest building on earth — and was still being prayed to two thousand years later. Zheng He, taken as a boy and handed the greatest fleet the world had seen, eighty-seven years before Columbus. Ibn Battuta, who left home at twenty-one to walk to Mecca and came back at fifty, having traveled further than anyone would until the age of steam. Rembrandt, who painted his own face for forty years, from a cocky boy of twenty-two to a ruined old man. Every one of them is narrated, and every one is in Spanish and Hebrew as well as English. A NEW WAY IN Questly now begins by asking what interests you. Choose your subjects, pick the legends you want from each, and start with the one you chose first. The rest go straight to your shelf, waiting for whenever you want them.
Most of what we know about remarkable people is a headline. Einstein was clever. Marie Curie won prizes. Turing broke a code. Questly gives you the rest, five minutes at a time. Every day, one life. You read it as a story rather than an encyclopaedia entry, take a short quiz to make it stick, and keep that person in your collection. Tomorrow, someone new. WHAT IS IN IT 202 lives, and more added regularly. Scientists, artists, athletes, founders, revolutionaries, and people who changed something and were forgotten for it. Ada Lovelace, Amy Winehouse, Nelson Mandela, Marcus Aurelius, Frida Kahlo, Alan Turing, Miyamoto Musashi. Each one takes about five minutes. Written to be read on a phone, in a queue, before bed. LISTEN INSTEAD Every life is narrated. Not a robot reading the text on screen, but a separate, more cinematic telling of the same story. Put it on while you walk. REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ Every quest ends with a quiz. It is short, and it is the difference between having read something and actually knowing it. Get them right and the legend joins your collection, which is a record of everyone you have finished rather than a number that goes up. READ IN YOUR LANGUAGE Every life can be read in English, Spanish or Hebrew — all 202, start to finish. Choose the language on the story's opening screen, for that story. The rest of the app stays in English. WHAT IS FREE Two lives on your first day, then one a day after that. No trial that quietly becomes a charge, and no account needed to start reading. QUESTLY PREMIUM Read as many lives as you like, any day, with no daily limit. Listen to every narration. Never run out of streak freezes. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel it in your App Store subscription settings. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Open the app and start reading. An account is only needed if you want your collection to follow you to another device, or if you subscribe.
