Search
Find any battle in seconds.
You remember a commander's name but not the battle. Or the campaign, or the year. Search covers all of it — battle name, location, war, commander — across the full 4,763-record dataset, instantly.
- Search by battle name, location, war, or commander
- Live results as you type
- Jump straight from a search hit into the feed or the map
Advanced Filters
Slice history your way.
Only interested in naval battles? Only the 19th century? Only decisive victories? Chain filters together — era, region, type, outcome, significance, war, year range — and the feed updates as you go.
- Ten eras as coloured chips
- Land, naval, siege, amphibious, urban, guerrilla types
- Outcome, significance, and the full list of 76 wars
- BC/AD-aware year range slider in 25-year steps
Bookmarks
Build your own reading list.
Some battles deserve a second pass. Save them with one tap from the feed's action stack or the dossier. Saved battles get their own tab — searchable, groupable by era, year, or war — so you always know where to come back to.
- One-tap save from anywhere in the app
- A dedicated Saved tab — search, group by era / year / war
- Sync'd to the device — stays on your phone or tablet
Listen
Battle stories, read aloud.
Some battles deserve to be heard, not skimmed. Battle Lens narrates the summary on any battle or commander page — clear voice, scrubbable timeline, background playback. The audio is streamed from the internet on demand; download the tracks you want for offline listening on flights or commutes.
- Battle and commander summaries streamed on demand
- Scrub, pause, and resume — background audio supported
- Download tracks for offline listening on flights or commutes
