Are you one of those people that just loves to pop off one of those random facts that makes people immediately run for a Wiki check? Did you stop watching Jeopardy because it was just too easy? If so, you need to grab 11,000+ Cool Facts from the Windows Phone Store right now.
11,000+ Cool Facts is an App that delivers exactly what the title says. A quick tap of the tile gives you access to over 11,000 random bits of awesomeness. Even better, some of these things are so crazy that you will actually grab your calculator and double check their math. Yes, the one in the image above is correct.
After you tap the tile to open the App, you are presented with the standard 11,000+ Cool Facts screen. A very simple layout presents you with the App title, the fact number that you are on, the fact, a small banner ad and the menu at the bottom. The banner ad is removable, but the developer did such a nice job with placement, I’m not worried about it at all.
The menu is a pretty powerful area, with some useful tricks. First, if you are a social media-ite or just found a funny that you want to share with a friend, the share button will allow you to message, email or shave via social network. The jump to button allows you to enter a random number and see that fact. The read out button has your device read the fact to you. Finally, there is the search button, and yes, I did leave this one for last. The search button will actually go online and show you the Google page for the fact you are looking at, putting to rest those that don’t believe your factualness.
The rest of the menu below the buttons is very self explanatory. Upgrading to ads-free will remove the banner from the lower part of the screen. Settings allows you to have the fact read automatically and select different voices. Rate and review, just click this and give it the 5 stars it deserves. Help, if you get stuck, there is some help… And the about section tells you all about this great App.
To finish out, I have to say, as the one that likes to throw out the random fact, Ocean68 Studio has blown me away with this one. Not only did it earn a spot in my precious internal memory, but it’s actually one that I will use on a daily basis. That said, how about considering an option to open to a random fact for the next update? Or maybe a live tile option that shows a new fact every few hours? Because that would take a really good App and push it up to amazing very quickly.
You can grab 11,000+ Cool Facts for free from the Windows Phone Store right now: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=b7e7ce38-91c6-4b5e-9a28-045e8a6d5ace
