It's definitely not worth paying money for. Although the video on their web site shows Favorites section my installation didn't have it and I was unable to find it. Contacting customer support didn't do any good either: First I got response on my first email which pretty much repeated what I saw on their video. After sending two more messages with screen shots got no response at all.
Mostly great facts. Some need to be checked and aren't quite accurate. The jarring ads with loud volume is a problem. I I don't mind the ads but I click to close them so quickly because they are so loud. Your advertisements would be better received of they were less invasive.
best fact checker ive found! non biased with a good variety of catagories i also like the pictures with each fact to help with memory. "phantom vibration syndrome is the sensation of ones phone vibrating when it is not." Its also known as a Tactile Hallucanation.
I hate to give 1 lonely star, but every single time I open the app a remove ads option pops up. The problem with this is that I purchased the ad free experience. Please fix the issue and I'll gladly change my rating.
I installed this over an hour ago! I love the facts. The layout. It's easy to save ur favorites, share with family and friends. Also very easy to fact check. Normally I only read facts when I need reading material in the potty. However I am still reading facts outside of the bathroom. It's great!
Ads, ads, ads. One sneaky ad that appeared on the bottom of the screen which required only one accidental click led me to a subscription which charged my mobile plan an extra £4.50/m, no verification, no ToS to agree, just required one press.
Facts are good, but facts with accompanying information would be better. For example, the fact about it being nearly impossible to break an egg by squerzing both ends simultaneously. In my opinion, would've been better with an explanation of why that's true.
Regularly got message that app had stopped working, did I want to close or wait. Thing is, I didn't have it open. I wouldn't open it once and it would be somewhere around 10th or 15th biggest battery user.
Great to have pictures to go with the facts making it so much easier to understand and retain the knowledge that you just learned. Also having the option of being able to search the fact "Google it" certifies the fact as well. GREAT JOB THANKS!!!!
This app has awesome and interesting facts about all sorts of subjects. Very interesting to read and see the beautiful pictures that accompany each fact.
Like both the written facts as well as the photos attached to the text. Some pics are beutiful others are hilariously funny! All in all both informative and entertaining.
Whilst the facts are interesting, the very loud ads were a complete nuisance so I uninstalled. I know that I could have paid to remove the ads, but I felt like they were trying to annoy me into paying rather than making me want to.
Awesome! Very cool fun filled facts !especially nice to look at with the kids ! It works really well , and it's simple , not to complex or full of ads! Thanks 4 wonderful, educational app! W. Truch
Ads are understandable. Video ads with SOUND?! Unacceptable. The facts were not that fascinating either. The number of seconds in 32 years...
Interesting: But not all true #17. The closer one gets to the earth the faster it spins! It should read, "It appears to spin faster".
love the facts but extremely disappointed and annoyed at paying for the "full version" and only recieving 100 extra facts. Not value for money at all. Paid to read 100 extra facts in 30 mins. should be offering the paid version with a lot more facts.
I'm so addicted to your app! I found myself taking a hot bath instead of my reguelar shower just so I didn't have to stop reading. Thank you to the maker of this app. I love the informational facts I otherwise probably would have ever known.
Intellectuals and Stoics to benefit greatly. The world is filled with wonder: this app concentrates it and delivers it in a concise and aesthetically pleasing format. Love it!
I only came across this app while looking for something else ,I'm so so glad I found it cos it's amazing to me, I absolutely love it ,I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and family,it's very interesting, it is truly worth five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars, thank you for making this app x x x x x x
I've spend way too much time scrolling through all these extremely interesting facts! with my Google search in the back ground to get some back story on half of the thing I read!
I am a teacher and use this in class each day. It always starts up some great conversations. Often, my mind is blown. I enjoy learning something new everyday.
In one of the facts it states,"The earth travels at a speed of 330 miles per second, which means that in one minute you are about 11,800 miles away from where you were." But when you take 330 miles per second and multiply it by 60 seconds which are in a minute, you don't get 11,800 as your answer, you get 19,800. So in one minute you'd be 19,800 miles away from where you were, not 11,800....
Vaguely interesting, only 507 facts and many of them are questionable. The major dowside being that it is all extremely USA-centric. All units are imperial and everything is told from a narrow perspective.
Really fun and cool things to learn about! Great for passing time! Hope they keep adding more cool and amazing facts!
Just downloaded, amazing and interesting facts. Will be a good way to kill time and learn and teach others mostly unknown facts.
I cant enjoy more than a few small facts without an interruption. ads, rating request, upgrade offers.
I gave this app a 1 star because it throws in ads to make you purchase to remove them. I would respect the developers more if they would just charge for the app and have no ads at all. Don't trick the people into thinking they are getting a nice free app when you have to purchase removal of ads to enjoy it. I uninstalled it. I will reinstall when it cost 2.99 to get it like it does to remove the ads. Just my thought process. I wouldn't mind if it was a game but an app like this does not need ads
