What's a good native Mac app for making timelines on Macs? I'm looking for an easy-to-use program that I can use to create timelines easily without delving into graphics programs like Illustrator. (Which I can use, but would be quite time consuming.). Another great free timeline creation tool for creating stories for your eLearning courses is Capzles, with which you can generate visually rich timelines that include photos, videos, music, and documents. Use a SmartArt graphic timeline to show a sequence of events, such as project milestones or events, in Office 2016 for Mac. You can choose a basic timeline or one of the other process-related graphics.
Timeline
Timeline is the presentation of a chronological sequence of events along a drawn line that equips a viewer to understand temporal relationships quickly. Timeline is important in understanding history and make scheme. The correct visual representation of events, symptoms or treatments can mean the difference between life and death. Timeline makes it easy for professionals to analyze, plan or layout a series of events in a simple, clear and high quality way. Timeline is also sometimes extended to mean a chronology in tabular, year-by-year paragraphs, or other form.
Automatic Vector-based Timeline Software

Description
Timeline allows students to create a graphical representation of an event or process by displaying items sequentially along a line. Timelines can be organized by time of day, date, or event, and the tool allows users to create a label with short or long descriptive text. Adding an image for each label makes a timeline more visually appealing.
Add, drag, and rearrange items as needed. Saving capability allows students to return to their work and make revisions, and they can share their final work via e-mail.
Users can send their finished timeline to their device’s camera roll or email it as a .pdf file to friends and family.
Created with classroom use in mind, this tool allows users to create their own profile to store their work, making device sharing easier for students in classes which do not have 1-to-1 tablet availability.
This app mirrors our popular timeline web-based interactive, so users familiar with one can easily adapt to the other. In fact, the two are so similar that users can send their editable .rwt files to an email address and then open their timeline right in the online tool!

Helpful, some basic design flaws
My students like using this app in class. It's fairly simple to upload photos to the iPad, which then can then be shared in several different ways. From a teacher's perspective, I have two simple suggestions:
1. Change the formatting so that timeline entires cannot cover the title of author of the timeline. Kids upload their timelines with their names hidden by their entries, which makes assessment difficult!
2. What's the point of the Full Description box if it doesn't show up on the main timeline? Either allow for more characters in the short description box, or change the formatting so the Full Description shows up on the main Timeline page.
OK - but NOISY!
I downloaded this one after the update that fixed what users were complaining about - crashing on Save - so I didn’t experience that. This is a basic timeline app. It makes times just fine, albeit with zero bells or whistles. I do appreciate that it will try to create an image for every item you place on the timeline, though.
BUT - every time you tap on ANYTHING there a a very loud, VERY unnecessary CLICK! Worse - there appears to be no way to turn the blasted thing OFF!! I can’t imagine what a classroom full of kids using this app would sound like, unless they were to mute their devices.
Seriously, IRA, TURN THAT OFF!!

Glitchy but, helpful
I've used this app for three years and hope to see some changes, this is a great app for children and adults alike but here are some of the changes I want to see.
- Not having to hit SAVE every time I stop using the app, if i forget to hit that save button I'll lose the project altogether.
-Less glitching
