Epoch shows what happened on this date in history, every day, in a few minutes of reading. Most answers are below. Settings is the gear at the top of Today.

Restore a purchase

On a new phone, or after reinstalling: Settings → Support → Restore purchases, signed in to the same Apple or Google account you paid with.

Remove the ads

Settings → Support the app. Pay once — not a subscription — and the ads are gone for good, along with every date in history. Today's events are always free.

The daily notification

Turn it on, and choose its time, in Settings → Daily notification. If it does not arrive, check that your phone allows notifications from Epoch; Settings shows Allow notifications when it does not.

Text size and theme

Settings → Reading. The theme follows your phone, or stays light or dark. The text comes in three sizes: Comfortable, Large and Largest.

Names on the streak board

Your name is shown only if you turn it on, in Settings → Who can see you. To report another name, press and hold it and choose a reason.

Refunds

Purchases are made through Apple or Google, so refunds are too: ask through the App Store or Google Play.
