AMAZES us!

Mind-blowing daily facts

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Mind-blowing facts, one tap away. 80+ sourced stories you can read or listen to, plus a daily fact on your Lock Screen. Zero ads. There's a difference between trivia and amazement. this AMAZES us! collects the second kind: facts so strange they rearrange your sense of how the world works. A peregrine falcon dives at 242 mph. Hedy Lamarr, the 1940s movie star, co-invented the technology behind Wi-Fi. Axolotls regrow severed limbs without a scar. Every story names its source and is written to surface the specific number, name or moment that makes the fact unforgettable. WHAT'S INSIDE • Stories across 8 categories: Science, Nature, Technology, Space, People, Animals, Art and Records. • A personalized top story that learns what you like, entirely on your device. • Listen mode: tap the headphones and hear the full article read aloud. Perfect for commutes, walks or doing the dishes. • Cosmic Radio: pick a genre and let the queue run, story after story. • Amaze Me: one tap pulls a random fact from the entire archive. Try to put your phone down. • Lock Screen and Home Screen widget with a new fact every day. • Daily Amaze: one notification a day at the time you choose, with per-category opt-outs. WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK • No clickbait. Every headline contains the actual fact. • Substantial articles: long enough to matter, short enough to finish on the bus. • A source on every article, so you never have to wonder if it's real. • Save what you love, share it as a story image, and read what other readers think. • Reading streaks for the curious completionist. PRIVACY • Zero ads. • Zero third-party trackers. • No account needed. The whole app works without signing in. • Personalization happens on your device; your reading history never leaves it. • Optional anonymous analytics and Apple MetricKit diagnostics, each with its own switch in Settings. It's the app for people who would rather know what makes a hummingbird's wings beat 80 times a second than which celebrity wore which dress to which premiere. Welcome. We think you'll fit right in.
