-- ECO & Tech, a UK-based provider of custom mobile app development services, has launched History Harbor, an AI-driven educational app that significantly surpasses industry engagement standards. The gamified learning app, available on both iPhone and Android, reports average user sessions of 56 minutes—five times longer than the educational app sector’s norm of 11 minutes.
History Harbor applies advanced AI mobile app development to deliver personalized feedback, dynamic timelines, and interactive flashcards that help users explore and understand complex historical topics. Initially developed in-house as a pilot in educational app development, the app gained nearly 5,000 users through word of mouth alone, without relying on paid advertising. Its growth and retention rates underscore the app’s potential as a model for modern interactive learning platforms.
“A session length of 56 minutes wasn’t expected — it proves that learning history can be genuinely addictive,” said Yevhen Rybak, CEO of ECO & Tech. “We designed History Harbor app to challenge passive reading habits and instead reward curiosity through smart design and data-driven adaptation.”
The project has also earned ECO & Tech a nomination for the 2025 Netty Awards in the Best Education App category. With over 100 categories and past nominees including Fortune 500 companies and global agencies across 41 countries, the Netty Awards are among the most prestigious honors in the digital space, making this recognition a major milestone.
The product, built entirely using the company’s agile mobile app development services, introduces a cause-and-effect gaming structure as a new approach to digital history education. It also features a recently added “AI Examiner” tool that allows users to assess their understanding and monitor progress over time. This level of interactivity has helped distinguish History Harbor from other educational platforms in a crowded market.
“History Harbor is a case study in how great UX and AI-powered feedback loops can drive both learning and retention,” said Katerina Igolkina, Product Manager at ECO & Tech. “We didn’t just build a tool — we built an environment that adapts to the learner’s pace, style, and interest.”
Designed as a cross-platform custom edtech app, History Harbor supports both online and offline learning modes. The app includes modules for AP U.S. History preparation and explores global topics ranging from the Olympic Games to pivotal moments in world history. It is structured to serve high school students, educators, and self-learners, with features optimized for mobile usability.
According to a company-released benchmark chart, History Harbor’s 56-minute average session duration is a notable outlier when compared with broader EdTech usage patterns. The metric highlights the growing importance of AI integration in gamified learning apps and supports the viability of mobile-first educational strategies.
The app is now available for download via the App Store and Google Play, making it easily accessible across iPhone and Android devices.
