Daily Random Facts 12+

Honestly, this is a great app! It is super interesting, and really engaging! I’ve had it for a few weeks now, I really like it! Although, I have a few problems with it. First of all, some of the facts aren’t even true. This is a really big issue for me, because I don’t like being lied to. Also, for the human body category, the cover image is slightly inappropriate. I’m also a little frustrated with the fact I can’t access over half the app because of the subscription stuff. I don’t really want to pay for an app. Maybe, like, allow a few more categories for unsubscribed viewers. Although, I can understand why they charge you for it, so this isn’t really a BIG problem. Lastly, some of the facts are kinda inappropriate. Like, one of them was about, uh, someone’s privates. Those facts really make me uncomfortable. But, all things considered, it really is a great app! Thank you soooo much!

I only subscribe to the history category but will not pay for others based on what I've seen so far. Many of the presented "facts" are the equivalent of click bait; skewed summations of either true, partially true, or entirely untrue information, often distilled from click bait titles themselves so there's multiple layers of lazy information interpretation and distribution (basically the game "telephone").

For example, that Shakespeare invented the words "bump" and "assassination." If you look beyond under-researched blogs to legitimate sources you find that is not true, and is actually the product of other lazy researchers who listed words in the OED dictionary as derived from Shakespeare simply because he was more interesting to read than the legal tomes and historical records preceding him that used many of the words attributed to him, which in itself is fascinating, so why distort it? (source- Merriam Webster dictionary, "Ten words Shakespeare never invented"). These discrepancies become more serious in the "facts" pertaining to legacies of genocide, slavery, sexual violence and the like that are very common in this category.

The way information is curated and shared is political. It should not be treated as click bait commodity. Do better research and present information accurately. There is still a plethora of amazing and actually true facts to be shared without manipulation.

This app is amazing for people who love to learn new things and is great for expanding memory and knowledge. I downloaded this app to learn new things everyday to become smarter and it has not let me down! Not only can you choose what topics of facts you want to see but all of the facts are very interesting and just fun to know. I can now share cool and interesting facts with my friends and family. The app also offers the ability to customize the wallpaper. It also allows you to change the icon on your Home Screen to your preference. I definitely recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn new things or become smarter!!
