            Based on my experience, I found several advantages and disadvantages using Tiki-Toki:

What are the advantages of Tiki-toki?

        1. Tiki-Toki provides 3D Timeline

I’ve never found another website for creating a timeline that provides a 3D display. But, I found the Tiki-Toki Timeline. It is a really beautiful timeline. The 3D view is perfect for creating an eye-catching timeline. You can visit the link I gave you at the end of this article.

        2. Tiki-Toki provides a beautiful features to create timeline

You can add pictures, video, audio, and text. Tiki-Toki are not only designed to inform viewers but also to be giving interactive timeline experiences. Furthermore, Tiki-Toki allows you to create colorful categories for stories. And then, you can add a background image and set a color in your timeline. If you want to get more beautiful features, you have to register a premium account. Absolutely not free. 

        3. Tiki-Toki is easy to use

The features provided are clear. You just type the material in the right column. Tiki-Toki also provides tutorials that you can visit.

What are the disadvantages of Tiki-toki?

        1. Tiki-Toki Needs a complete date

Tiki-Toki provides date, month, year, and time. This is gonna be an advantage for your timeline if you sequence events clearly and completely. But, if your data for the timeline is not clear enough, this will be difficult for you. The solution I gave you is you have to find out complete data. I don’t recommend you manipulate the data. It is better for you to find any resources.

        2. Complicated to add picture or video

To add a picture or video will be complicated if your picture or videos are from your device or computer. Because, you need a link from the internet to add pictures or videos.

Here is a sample I have made. The timeline is about "The Kaleidoscope of Indonesian Curriculum in Post-Independence". Are you curious about that topic? You can download it at this link.
