When I try to download a timeline, all the text is impossible to read on the image itself.

It is infuriating that I have to sign in to download my work. If I knew that I wouldn't have used this site in the first place.

Cool feature, but whenever i try to make a new event it defaults back to today's date. This is ok for a while, but my timeline is going into 2021, and it's annoying to have to click back everytime i make a new event

Ive been using Spark over the past 6 or 8 weeks and its a really handy tool for my business, especially as im not greatly skilled at design. Its simple and easy to use. The timeline feature is great! With a little work it could be even more useful! Some more freedom to adapt design would be nice and the ability to make longer timelines on one page would be beneficial! Thanks Adobe!

I like the idea, but if I add too many events it tries to all go on one page instead of adding a second page. Also, many of the layouts do not open the description when you hover over or click on them. Is there a way to rotate some of the designs to portrait mode? Why can't I just paste a photo from Slides into this application? I understand this is a work in progress, just my noticing this first time round.

I was trying to make a timeline of events for a book that I am working on but all the designs are landscape. It would be nice to have some designs that are portrait. This would make things a lot better for timelines with lots of events.

When exporting the description becomes white on white or black on black on photos so impossible to see it clearly

Something that would make this a whole lot better, would be if we could upload our own images, or drag an image onto the program.

Just one suggestion, make it so we can upload images from our own device.

Great idea but after adding ten events it's created a pretty useless timeline. I'm a history teacher and thought it would be great for my students to use, but I won't be telling them to as there are so many big flaws.
1. With ten events, the dates are just shown as years which means you have no idea the actual date of when things happened, which makes it useless for revision or presentation of notes.
2. The titles aren't fully shown, instead there is 'Treaty of Versaill...' which isn't the full title and so makes the timeline pointless.
3. There is no ability to change the size or colour of fonts.
4. You can't seem to save as you go along which could lead to heartbreak.
5. You can't underline the title, which is a must for a teacher!
6. There are some designs but not enough to pick from; or there could be ways in which the user can customise it themselves?
7. You can only put one date. When you want to put an event - like WW2 - you should be able to put two dates to show the range of time that it occurred.
8. It automatically capitalises everything.
9. The dots aren't accurate to where they should be on the timeline. I have two events in 1933 that are days apart but have the same gap between them as another event 6 years later.
10. It's quite clunky having to pick the date manually; it would be awesome if when you selected a year, it changed to month for you rather than you having to switch to month yourself. The option to use the DAY/MONTH/YEAR format would also be very handy for a British person!
Thank you. -

The ability to save the timeline to your adobe assets would be great so you can come back to it in the future and use the same content again, instead of having to redo it?

Why doesn't the timeline stretch to accomodate all the events?

It doesn't auto-place according to date, everything has to be done manually. I would like to introduce colors to different types of events.

doesnt show most of the text, things overlap and become unreadable, things will have "..." after because it doesnt show all of the text. downlaoding doesnt work, this is ridicoulous! I need this for an assignment due tommorow and I cant use this ! 1/10
