This simple app from World Book lists 3 - 4 historical events that happened each day of the year. There's an option to look at events that happened today or you can use the built-in calendar to select any other day throughout the year.
Each event also has 1 - 2 terms that are linked to additional information. For example, an entry for May 15th states, "Pierre Curie, co-discoverer of radium, was born in 1859. But both 'Pierre Curie' and 'radium' are typed in a different color and underlined. When the user clicks on either term, a paragraph appears - providing the user with additional information.
At this price point (free!) there's no reason why this app should not be included on your iPad(s).
