Weird Facts 1000! Cool & True! Reviews

I got WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue probably five years ago, when I got my first iPhone. Like many people, I loaded up on as many free apps as I could possibly get into memory the first day. Most got opened once, maybe twice. Since then, every single one has been deleted - except this one.

It it something I can say that improves my productivity? No. Is it a good way to learn about a particular topic? Absolutely not. Is it something I can share with my kids? No way. Do I occasionally find something that scares the absolute %¥%t out of me? Yep. Is it something that bugs my wife 99% of the time when she sees me open it? It sure is.

So why do I still have it? Because it's something I can do when I'm killing a minute in line at the store or waiting to meet someone. It's completely harmless. AND... Every so often, I come across a piece of random, seemingly useless information that I actually file away for the future. A couple years back, I stunned my boss with a fact - one actually related to my field - and he told me later it actually was a deciding factor on my promotion, as crazy as that sounds. How many people are actually aware that eggplant is a fruit and that they are technically classified as berries? Not him, evidently.

It's a harmless app, but you never know when you might actually get the opportunity to impress someone at a party when you tell me their cat has 230 bones. Or that a starfish has no brain. You never know...

I’ve been using WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue since I was in middle school (now I’m a college senior), and I can honestly say it’s one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. As someone who loves the peculiarities of this world, it’s great at inspiring wonder and a desire to learn more about everything from celebrity trivia to the intricacies of Nature. Not all the facts are 100% accurate, unfortunately, but that really doesn’t detract from WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue too much. It’s the only app that’s always been on my phone for the last 8.5 years, and I still go on it from time to time to pique my curiosity. It’s perfect for anyone that loves learning about the world they live in!

I just got WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue and I already love it!!! You get to favorite facts you really like!!! You want to learn random info WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue is for you!!! People need to get over the ads thing...it's free to you so it has to be paid for somehow...if you don't like the ads PAY FOR IT!!!! Everyone wants something for nothing!!!! This is a great app and the ads aren't bad at all!!! You can exit out of it right away!!!

I love reading all these facts. I came across a fact that said, "Goldfish only have a three second memory." Goldfish can remember stuff for over a YEAR. I also found some other facts that I know aren't true. But, yes, more people are killed by donkeys than by plane crashes. People get killed by donkeys all the time.

I don't use WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue all the time, and I can't say it's my favorite in the whole world. However, I do enjoy opening this up every once in a while when I'm bored to death and want to learn something interesting, random, and funny. It's good for a smile, and you're sure to be enlightened by a few fascinating tidbits you probably didn't know before. It's free, and it'll lend you a Little entertainment when you're looking for something to do. Why not give it a shot?

Nice idea but greed makes it a bother to use. Can't go 60 seconds worth of facts before yet another annoying ad that you have to get rid off. Way, way too often. Also many of the facts are for adults only so not good for kids. I have no issue with this but they need to be responsible and warn you. The makers need to get their act together before I could recommend this.

I would give it a 5 except for the darn ads. It's full of fun little facts. I usually reframe the statement and challenge the kiddos to guess the answers. Fun!

I love WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue. It is totally accessible for those using voice over and the content is well written. If you are looking for a fun way to pass the time or for a nice distraction, this is it!

Although WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue says it is for 4 year olds and up, it has a ton SEXUAL inappropriate questions which is very disturbing in a kids app done up in primary colors with lady bugs all over it.

Apple, you should review WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue and remove it immediately. If if could attach the screen shots of the sex questions which are mixed in with the normal questions, I would.

I look forward to reading this! We have to learn something new each day! Makes great conversations too

Cool way to pass some time when you are waiting for something else to load

When you need something to do for a few, this one will surprise you with an "lol" moment or two!

More people are killed by donkeys than and plane crashes?
You know that is idiotic even before checking it out go to Snopes and you'll find out this was a crap fact used to try to promote air safety.

How many more of your "facts" are boloney?

A great app for when you don't want to spend a lot of time and need a little entertainment.
Plus you might learn a thing or two.

Easy to use; accessible for users with vision loss; compatible with VoiceOver. Funny and informative.

Have had WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue for 4 years. Great to read when bored or depressed or when weather is way bad.

WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue is so interesting!!! You can learn all types of interesting facts! Great for adults and even better for kids/teens!! Never stop learning!

For a trivia fan like me, you could not ask for a better app. The material is on point, mind challenging and educational. I find it a great way to relax. DFM

This is a pretty good app. My major issue with it is that the content is not always child friendly. The facts given should always be vetted by an adult. Other than that, it's a nice app that helps to broaden your knowledge base.

Did u know that in a persons life time they will fill up 2 swimming pools of saliva!? I bet u did not but with WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue u can know way cooler stuff than that U HAVE TO GET WeirdFacts1000CoolTrue!!!

This is a very cool way to learn some things you didn't know or think you would ever need too. If you should always keep the brain learning, then this is the perfect app. Fascinating and fun. I just want to read the next fact, then the next, then..., etc!

I chose this “random facts” app because I wanted one that my children would be interested in too. So glad that it was me scrolling through reading them and not my 8 year old when I came across the fact “90% of men lie about their penis size” Smh!! It says for 4+ years old. Obviously that needs to be changed!
