Variety shadowed by birthdays.

The app is great, smooth and simple. Unfortunately I’ve been seeing lately a lot of birthdays were used as a historical fact. Mark twain and versace are the recent and I ponder, What is historical about their birth? Nothing. What they did in their life is historical!
Something historical that occurred today could have replaced mark twian or versace being born. And their success could have been put on the days they started their business or wrote his first big book. Unless the birth is the historical fact like the first quadruplets born.
There is so much history to be used that a simple birth of someone who became well known, famous or popular through an action or dedication years and years later shouldn’t be used.

Great App about People and Events

I really enjoy Factorium! It often surprises me with events or people I didn’t know about. The range of topics and time periods keeps it interesting. The app is simple and easy to use. The Home Screen widget is a great feature—it helps me keep track of daily events at a glance. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves learning new things!

Don’t download

The ads 100% ruin the experience. Most apps have ads off to the side that are non intrusive, these ads take up your whole screen, after being forced to watch the ad and trying to exit back to what I was initially reading, I got the spinning wheel of death. Do yourselves a favor and don’t reward the developers with a download.

I understand your frustration with the ads, and I'm sorry to hear they disrupted your experience. The developers have made a conscious decision to keep the app free by relying on ad-support, which is essential for the application to continue existing and improving. Unlike many other apps, the content you find here is created manually by a dedicated team of editors. They don’t just pull information from the internet or Wikipedia; they meticulously curate and verify the content to ensure quality and reliability. While the ads can be intrusive, they are crucial in supporting this level of detailed and accurate content creation. We appreciate your understanding and hope you give us another chance.

Factorium:

The app is a ripoff. Not what I thought it is. I immediately cancelled my subscription immediately. I however noticed that they will not cancel my subscription until 5/16/2025. What a ripoff! I have alerted my credit card provider.
Apple, Inc should be wary of dubious developers they endorse.
