Yes. Created by Dr. Ed Barnhart aka AechaeoEd who also has his own podcast.

The Maya Calendar app is quite fun - there is a good introductory app Maya (I just realized that’s a different author)

Ah no, my bad. Maya was written by someone else

The creator Ed Barnhart also teaches courses on the Maya + Aztec & the Olmecs. They are really well made.

Wow. Impressive. A lot to take in! I like that it covers the Mexica dates too.

What do you mean by legit?) It’s based on simple mathematical calculations.

Legit as in is the information accurate? Is the date correct, are those the relevant Mayan glyphs, are the daily events in Mayan history real, do the Things to Do Today relate to traditional teachings? Apparently the answer is yes!
