The Whole Course, in the Order the Exam Asks For It
AP Art History is a wide course. Two hundred and fifty required works, spread across six continents and roughly thirty thousand years, organised by the College Board into ten content areas. Most students do not run out of interest – they run out of a way to hold it all in one place.
AP Art History puts the whole course on your phone in the shape the exam uses. Ten content areas, from Global Prehistory to Global Contemporary. Inside each one: a set of revision notes written to be read the night before a test, and twenty-five exam-style multiple-choice questions that tell you why each answer is right.
No account, no sign-up, no connection needed. Open the app on the bus and start reading.
- Radiocarbon dating
- A scientific method using carbon-14 decay to estimate the age of organic materials, widely used to date prehistoric artefacts.
- Portable art
- Small, movable objects (figurines, carved tools) made by nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples who could carry them.
- Megalith
- A large stone used, often with others, to build a monument or structure, typically without mortar.

How It Works
Pick a content area
The ten areas sit in five colour-coded groups on the home screen, each with its own illustrated header and a running count of notes and questions.
Read the revision notes
Ten or eleven collapsible sections per area – an overview, then the individual required works – each ending in a short list of key terms.
Take the quiz
Twenty-five multiple-choice questions on a countdown clock set to ninety seconds a question, so the pace feels like the real thing.
Review and revise
Every question is replayed afterwards with the correct answer and an explanation, and anything you got wrong is collected into Revise Wrong Answers.
The Ten Content Areas
The course is organised exactly as the College Board frames it. 102 note sections and 250 questions in total – the first two content areas are free for everyone, and Pro unlocks the remaining eight.
Prehistory & the Ancient World
Europe & the Americas
Indigenous & African Arts
Asian Arts
The Pacific & Global Contemporary
What Sits Inside Each Area
📖 Revision notes
An opening overview of dates, cultures and big ideas, then a section for each required work – what it is, who made it, what it meant and why the exam cares. Every section closes with its key terms.
✅ Exam-style quiz
Twenty-five four-option multiple-choice questions per area, mixed across difficulty, written in the phrasing the real multiple-choice section uses.
🔄 Revise wrong answers
Questions you missed anywhere in the course are pooled into one review quiz on the home screen, so weak spots keep coming back until they are not weak spots.

Works Offline, on Both Devices
All the notes and questions ship inside the app. One purchase covers iPhone and iPad through your Apple Account.
Where the Content Comes From
The notes and questions were written against widely used, authoritative art-history references and the framework of the AP course itself:
- AP Art History Course and Exam DescriptionCollege Board course framework & 250 required works
- SmarthistoryCenter for Public Art History
- The Met — Heilbrunn Timeline of Art HistoryThe Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Gardner's Art Through the AgesKleiner (Cengage)
- Art HistoryStokstad & Cothren (Pearson)
Accuracy and updates. Every effort has been made to keep the content accurate, but scholarship and attributions are periodically revised. Always confirm dates, artists, and interpretations against the official Course and Exam Description and your approved textbook for the most authoritative information.
Private by Design
A study app should not need to know who you are. AP Art History has no accounts, no logins and no profile – your progress, your best scores and the questions you got wrong live on your device and nowhere else.
No sign-up, no account
Progress stays on device

We operate no servers
The app does need a connection for two things only: showing ads to free users, and confirming a subscription with the App Store. Both are described in full in the Privacy Policy below.

Subscription terms. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: $2.99 per month or $9.99 per year (prices may vary by region and are shown in your local currency at purchase). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings after purchase – Settings → your name → Subscriptions on iPhone and iPad. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the current period runs to its end. Restore Purchases on the Pro screen brings an existing subscription back on a new device signed in to the same Apple Account. See the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I get without paying?
The first two content areas in full – Global Prehistory and Ancient Mediterranean. That is 21 revision note sections and 50 exam-style questions, with explanations, plus the Revise Wrong Answers quiz. The free version shows a banner ad and an occasional full-screen video ad.
What does Pro cost, and does it renew?
$2.99 a month or $9.99 a year. Both are auto-renewing subscriptions charged to your Apple Account, and both can be cancelled at any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the current period running to its end.
Does it cover all 250 required works?
The notes are built around the College Board's list of 250 required works, area by area. Longer areas get more sections; every area gets an overview of its dates, cultures and big ideas before the individual works.
Are the works shown as photographs?
No – this is a reading and quizzing app. Each of the five groups has its own painted illustration on the home screen, and the works themselves are described in the notes rather than reproduced. Pair it with your textbook or an image bank when you need to see the object.
How do the quizzes work?
Twenty-five four-option questions per content area, on a countdown clock of ninety seconds per question. You can move back and forth before submitting; afterwards every question is replayed with the correct answer and a short explanation, and your best score for that area is kept.
What is Revise Wrong Answers?
A quiz on the home screen built only from questions you have answered incorrectly, anywhere in the course. It fills up as you work and empties as you get things right.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All the notes and questions are stored in the app, so studying needs no connection at all. Only the ads and the App Store check for a subscription need the internet.
Is this made by the College Board?
No. It is an independent study aid. AP® and Advanced Placement® are registered trademarks of the College Board, which is not affiliated with this app and has not endorsed or reviewed it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email address and no profile. Your progress and scores are stored on your device.
I subscribed on my iPhone. Do I have to pay again on my iPad?
No. Install the app on the other device, sign in with the same Apple Account and tap Restore Purchases on the Pro screen.
Which devices does it run on?
Any iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 15.6 or later.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how AP Art History ("the App," "we," "our," or "us") handles information. The App is a study aid containing revision notes and practice questions for the AP Art History course.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information. The App has no accounts, no sign-up and no login, and we operate no servers of our own.
- Your study progress, best scores and the list of questions you answered incorrectly are stored locally on your device only.
- All revision notes and questions ship inside the App; nothing you read or answer is transmitted anywhere.
- The App does not access your contacts, location, photos, microphone, camera, calendars or health data.
- We do not operate our own analytics servers and we do not build profiles of users.
- Limited data is processed by our advertising provider and by Apple for purchases, as described in sections 3 and 4.
3. Advertising
The free version of AP Art History displays advertisements through Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the course screen and an occasional full-screen video ad when a content area is opened, rate limited so it cannot appear more than once a minute. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process certain information such as a device advertising identifier, coarse device and network information, and app interaction data, and may use it for personalised advertising where you have permitted that.
Nothing about your study – your scores, the areas you read, the questions you missed – is shared with the advertising provider.
You can read how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
The App uses Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework to ask your permission before any tracking across other companies' apps and websites takes place. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalised. You can change this choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Where required by local law, a consent form is also presented before personalised advertising is requested.
Subscribing to Pro removes all advertising from the App, and with it the ad-related data processing described in this section.
4. Purchases, Subscriptions and Payment History
AP Art History is free to download and offers an optional auto-renewing Pro subscription ($2.99 per month or $9.99 per year) that unlocks all ten content areas and removes ads.
All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store using Apple's in-app purchase system (StoreKit). We never see, receive or store your card details, billing address or any other payment credential.
To work at all, a subscription app has to know whether you are currently subscribed. For that purpose the App reads your purchase and subscription history for this app from the App Store on your device – which product was bought, whether the subscription is active, expired or renewing, and whether it was refunded or is in a billing-retry state. This information:
- is used solely for app functionality – to unlock Pro content, to restore a purchase you already made, and to remove ads for subscribers;
- is provided and verified by Apple, is tied to your Apple Account rather than to any account with us, and is evaluated on your device;
- is not used for advertising, analytics, profiling or tracking, and is not sold or shared with third parties;
- is not stored on any server we control, because we operate none.
In App Store privacy terms, this is the "Purchases" data category, collected for App Functionality only. Your Apple Account and its payment records remain governed by Apple's own privacy policy.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell your data and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising beyond what is described in section 3. The only third parties involved in the App are Google (advertising, free version only) and Apple (App Store distribution and purchase processing).
6. Children's Privacy
The App is aimed at high-school students and older. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code and similar regulations, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Advertising is handled in line with the App's App Store age rating and the consent mechanisms described above.
7. Your Choices
- Advertising: change your tracking choice in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, or remove ads entirely by subscribing to Pro.
- Subscription: manage or cancel at any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
- Your data: deleting the App removes all locally stored progress and scores from your device.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates will be reflected on this page with a new "Last updated" date.

Terms of Use (EULA)
Last updated: July 2026
1. Licence
AP Art History grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service. The revision notes, questions and artwork in the App are ours and may not be redistributed, resold or republished.
2. Subscriptions and Purchase Terms
The App is free to download. The first two content areas are available at no cost and are supported by advertising. Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks all ten content areas and removes all advertising, offered as a monthly plan at $2.99 and a yearly plan at $9.99. Prices may vary by region and are shown in your local currency before purchase.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device; cancelling stops future renewals and leaves access in place until the end of the period already paid for. There is no refund for the unused portion of a period.
An active subscription is tied to your Apple Account, not to any account with us, and can be restored on your other devices with Restore Purchases.
3. Refunds
Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store refund policy. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
4. Educational Content and No Affiliation
The App is an independent study aid. AP® and Advanced Placement® are registered trademarks of the College Board, which is not affiliated with the App, has not endorsed or reviewed it, and was not involved in its production. The App is not a replacement for the official Course and Exam Description, your textbook, or instruction from your teacher.
The content was written against widely used art-history references and is offered in good faith, but scholarship, dates and attributions are periodically revised, and no guarantee is made that every statement is complete, current or free of error. Nothing in the App guarantees any particular examination result. Always confirm against official course materials.
5. Advertising
The free version of the App is supported by third-party advertising. We do not control which advertisements are served and are not responsible for their content or for the products and services they promote.
6. Availability and Changes
We may update the App, its content, and these terms from time to time, and may add, alter or withdraw features. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
7. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of your use of the App is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months preceding the claim.
