The history list is a cumulative list of completed schedule events. When a history item is selected it shows the reminder photo for the pill and when you acknowledged taking it. If for any reason the photo is no longer available the default PillMinder icon is displayed. (The android icon has been replaced with a custom icon in the current repository.)
