Daily Random Facts Reviews

by Just Saying:)

I loved DailyRandomFacts and used the widget option for the past year. About two weeks ago it suddenly got rid of the theme I had been using and only stated “tap here to refresh the widget”, and nothing I try will get it to go back to normal. I’ve tapped it, restarted my phone, uninstalled DailyRandomFacts and reinstalled it, but nothing works. I’m sad that this feature has stopped working for me, because it was a great addition to my home screen. Maybe it’s because I don’t pay for DailyRandomFacts ? I’m not sure what’s up with it, but it’s a nice app when it works properly.

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.

I had been using DailyRandomFacts for a while then I noticed I stopped getting notifications so I tried to open DailyRandomFacts and it crashed immediately. I then had no control over my phone other than touching (swiping wouldn’t work) so I had to restart my phone. I tried to open DailyRandomFacts again and the same thing happened. I tried removing DailyRandomFacts and reinstalling and the frozen screen problem went away but DailyRandomFacts still would not open. Shame because this was a cool one. I found a very similar one for now but hopefully you guys can figure out what’s wrong

I mean, I haven’t had DailyRandomFacts that long. These facts are very interesting, and I come to find they are true. A couple things, I find it weird that other people have had DailyRandomFacts for a while and they say something like, “ DailyRandomFacts has a wonderful mechanism that makes it to where you don’t see the same fact twice!” But, for me, I’m now seeing the same fact multiple, and multiple times, and I don’t remember the last time I got a new fact.. *remember: I’ve only had DailyRandomFacts for 3 weeks now, and don’t use it that often :( * I had their motivation app, which might I add, is VERY, VERY good! It doesn’t show the same quote twice and is very inspirational. Then I saw they had DailyRandomFacts, it tried it, and it was amazing at first, but that leads me to, right now, my situation. Maybe you could fix this? Or add something to DailyRandomFacts? Thanks! Btw, love what apps you make! Thank you :D

I really, really, really want to love DailyRandomFacts. I love the UI; it’s a beautiful widget, DailyRandomFacts itself has a great interface, and I love that each fact has a linked article with which you can learn more. The facts are typically comical, or interesting, intriguing.

However, I really can’t be supportive of a “Facts” app that is, in fact, not factual. Some are true, sure - but some facts are only semi-true, some are misleading, and one recent fact literally contradicted the article linked to it.

The facts all really sound cool, and it’s such a great little app - but if you want to use it, be ready to double-check what you learn!

I enjoy reading these but they do need more. One fact was "apples do well at waking you up in the morning" okay tell me a general idea of why/how? Because that phrase alone I'm not so sure I totally understand. They do well at that when you eat them at night? Eat them for breakfast??? Several facts were like this, just needing more. One fact showed the longest word in English, yet didn't say what that word meant. It basically said "the longest word is this: ....." like okay what is that word? I feel as though some of them just need a little extra. Great other than that though, enjoying reading the diverse facts

You need a better way to “report” facts, or easier if I missed a report button. I found a fact about space (I study astronomy) that said you can fit every planet in the MILKY WAY between the Earth and the Moon. I think you guys meant solar system, even the article linked says solar system and I know for a fact it is. On top of that, there’s a fact that says 9 percent of the people that ever lived are alive today and after 30 minutes of scrolling I found the same fact worded differently saying 7 percent.

Having to pay a monthly fee to lookup a 'General Search' looks like to me everyone who has taken their time to post, are all in agreement about the 'General Search'of. You see what you’d like to add to your favorite, then accidentally you brush the screen and it slides over to the next now that one you liked and were going to share is gone, and there is no way to find it. OoNobody wants to pay a monthly fee just to search threw a general category that should be free along with the same guidelines. As for the ones that are still looked I have a few ideas on how they could do maybe have a point system. For every 10 favorites shared they get next one unlocked. Something different for each other levels, like certain words that cannot be used twice. So many amount of characters per word. All in all the 'General Search' should not be locked.

It’s a fun app for when your bored and there aren’t that many complaints when it comes to DailyRandomFacts. Although, after a while it just started to repeat the facts A LOT with the occasional new one around probably every three facts. Some of the facts also weren’t true according to Internet searches I would do occasionally when I wanted to learn more about a certain fact. I recommend DailyRandomFacts for people who are looking for an easy boredom buster.

by @raven

All great facts! I’ve only found one error tho only bc MythBusters proved it wrong. A duck’s quack does echo, when you can you can get he duck to cooperate. 😉

Major problem I contend with is receiving too many facts outside of the preset times I set forth as well as the number of factoids being delivered.

Believe me, I enjoy this program. It’s one I share with others, esp with those who enjoy trivia, specifically with others who enjoy Swagbucks Live Trivia, formerly, SwagIQ. In addition, I share many factoids with my adult daughters, niece, & my granddaughter.

I love to learn interesting facts. This is the perfect app for that. Low subscription price (wish their other apps were as reasonably priced) DailyRandomFacts also give you options to save the facts, I have two folders; one fold with facts I want to remember, and one fold I keep just for facts I want research. I have had many opportunities to dig in and have already learned very much in the week, or so, that I have had DailyRandomFacts.

I love scrolling through DailyRandomFacts; it has a wonderful mechanism of making sure you don’t see the same thing twice. It’s great fun reading interesting facts to my family members, like, did you know the amount of time you spend blinking each day equals keeping your eyes shut for thirty minutes?
I also love how the favorite fact feature doesn’t store them in order of recently favorites so you can always see old things you favorited easily.
The idea of set notifications telling you random facts is golden.
All in all I strongly recommend! Go ahead and download to learn something new 💡

I love DailyRandomFacts for billions of reasons - and the fact that I scare people with facts like a pig was executed for the murder of a child in the 1300s! I love that I can get smarter by DailyRandomFacts and everything seems so educational.

Problems are : should have more facts (I keep getting the same ones sometimes) , and should not have to buy - not really a problem though because everything’s not free! I love DailyRandomFacts and hope you will too!

by Ncleiodruois

This is just a fun and easy way to bring one small new insight to your day. We have so many hard things to think about. Being pulled away from your stress to think about a simple new fact just helps reset your mind a little. Ads are not so bad that I think you need the sub service. Just my opinion! Great app! All their other app are good too!! Especially the one for vocabulary and “I am”, wonderful!

by Ilovereading123

I really enjoyed looking at all the random facts in DailyRandomFacts. It has a great variety of topics. I also like the fact that you can switch the theme.
People are complaining about the subscription, because there area lot of things you need it for. I haven’t purchased the subscription, and I think DailyRandomFacts is pretty great without it. I mean, watching one video to get a theme is just fine for me!
Once again, this is a good app that keeps me entertained when I am bored!

by Squred Goat

DailyRandomFacts is great. It has so many true facts it is awesome. The one rule I have for you is to turn on notifications so you look at them everyday. It make life more enjoyable when you can tell your friends cool new facts that they don’t know. There are no ads and only bad part is the part where you need to pay extra money to save your favorite and I don’t want to have a million screenshots but in all and all this is a good app with very little space so you won’t even know its there unless you get a notification.

by 🤯💩😎🤩

The widget is great and facts are nice. The only thing premium really unlocks is more topics and even without that it’s fine for most people.

All themes are unlocked freely for one minute after watching an ad, which is a great system more apps should use.

I want to thank DailyRandomFacts devs for not making this a total money milking app like others, it’s rare to see stuff so consumer friendly. This is one of those once a year cases where an app is so good that I actually want to review it.

Ive had DailyRandomFacts for many years and it’s still giving me new facts every day. I love that every fact can be backed up by tapping the “I” information button. The backgrounds are really pretty.
The only thing I’d change is there’s a tiny bug or glitch that makes it so when you tap a fact on notification, sometimes DailyRandomFacts opens on a different fact and I can’t find the one I was notified of. A minor thing, obviously. I really like DailyRandomFacts.

by Construction On Heels

I really enjoy getting these facts, they’re fun and unusual, and great conversation starters. I thought I knew a lot of trivial information, but I haven’t gotten one fact that I already knew. Look, there’s nothing incredibly helpful or intelligent, but it’s fun and passes the time. I’m not really into games, especially those on phones, so this is a good when in a waiting room, on lines at the bank, etc. I’m glad I found it & would recommend to others that aren’t a big fan of playing games on a tiny screen.

by Picklefluffypuff

I like random facts! It’s just what I do and sometimes people call me a nerd and I like being a nerd! This is a fun app that keeps me from getting bored. Just a few small details I want to mention. It has been debunked that scorpions will not sting themselves to death if liquor is poured on them. They will just become extremely aggressive. Also, progeria causes people to age faster than they can grow. I think that was just an error. Otherwise, DailyRandomFacts is great! Thanks for it!

by Crinkster54

DailyRandomFacts is entertaining but before I share most of the ‘facts’ I have to take the time to verify them. Many contradict each other. For instance, which is factual: an ostrich doesn’t stick it’s head in the sand or it sticks it’s head in the sand to look for water?

New facts never seem to be added and the developers need to find a better translator for some of them. After using it for a total of about an hour over the course of 10 days, it got too repetitive and boring. I’m going to deactivate it. Too bad because I had high hopes. It’s just as easy to Google ‘fun facts’ or ‘best trivia.’
Last observation: no one should be asked to pay for this stuff unless it’s a one time $0.99.

by Blasted Fool

There are some really interesting facts on here, but it’s evident that some of the information is not accurate. For instance, it said that left-handed people on average don’t live as long as right-handed people. I was interested in the reason for this, and after looking at a fact-checking website, I discovered that it’s not true.
Also, I think the payments for the special features such as no ads and being able to save favorite facts are unreasonable.

I love the layout, plain and simple not to mention easy to use. However, I would love to pay the lifetime payment, but it’s a little too expensive for me. I think a better cost for the lifetime would be maybe between twenty and twenty five dollars. Thirty is a bit much. Then again that’s just my opinion so if anyone else wants to pay the thirty you are more than welcome to.

by KookieBunny07

I have learned a lot of things, reading these facts. But I am kind of not happy that I have to pay to get different facts. I was really excited to learn some animal facts, and learn more on animals.(even though I pretty much know most of the facts in my opinion) But I couldn’t do so because I had to pay, which is a little unfortunate. Other wise, I am pretty satisfied with DailyRandomFacts and don’t really regret downloading it.

by JungleSports

Just downloaded this recently.
Most of the facts I’ve read are quite interesting. Love that you can get more info about most facts by pressing the “i” button... this feature really makes DailyRandomFacts worthwhile to me.
Two things for perfection:
1. Since I’m worried about running out of facts to read, I’m reluctant to purchase the lifetime membership. It would be nice to perhaps have a category such as ‘Newest Facts’ etc.
I would like to feel confident that new material is being added periodically and will not be abandoned.
2. This is also quite important to me. Having an Apple Watch app. Seems perfectly suited for the Apple Watch. That way I can glance at my watch while at a restaurant etc without having to take my phone out.
Comment on these two issues and let me know your thought please.
Thank you!

It is a good app I like the facts but it says some inappropriate things but besides that it's a good app good facts so four stars i think to take away some of inappropriate facts but anyway good facts should be 9-11 though. I got DailyRandomFacts when I first got my ipad and decided to download it on my phone. I have to say whenever you download it on the phone there are more fonts. Just a little tip for most iPad users!

by Sonrisa Arquitecto

Don’t listen to the complainers! People spend the money on all kinds of needless stuff! But, when it comes to the Super Apps- all of a sudden, they want them for NOTHING, or less than that!
A PHENOMENAL APP! Buy it once, and have the encyclopedia of fun, laughs, and helpful tips in your pocket FOR LIFE!
You will also get the EXEMPLARY CUSTOMER SUPPORT from the Developer as a bonus , and complete satisfaction!
To the Developer: Well done! Bravo!!

DailyRandomFacts is really entertaining and you don’t feel guilty if you have been on it forever. The facts are super interesting and will really keep you sucked in. It’s also really great that you can enjoy reading something useful, not just tweets and comments. They also have other apps that have inspirational quotes and jokes/riddles and they are just as great the the facts app. I am 100% sure you will love DailyRandomFacts!

I love DailyRandomFacts because it’s educational. DailyRandomFacts makes me learn something new everyday. I can also have fun sharing to my friends and family. I also love school, sharing and learning these facts make me seem like a smarter person. I love DailyRandomFacts so much. I 10/10 recommended to all family members and friends, also, my friends like to learn these facts. Thanks!

by Nancy Garlit

I really am enjoying DailyRandomFacts.. I can’t bring myself to upgrade because I have several apps I enjoy and I would be broke if I had to pay a monthly fee to use them. I can browse the internet and find most of the stuff in DailyRandomFacts.. It would take longer to do but I will take the time.

by Grc7800

I love DailyRandomFacts! I go it this morning, an it is everything i can do to not text my friends all of these facts! The only thing is, i would like to be able to click somewhere, and it give me an article going into more detail on the fact. That would be cool. Otherwise, this is the best app ever!
