Scammers

I did not mean to purchase the subscription I was trying out the free trial and it charged me before it was up and they will not refund me. Do not buy from these scammers they will take $40 from you to do anything.

Questionable

I like the idea of this, but the execution leaves something to be desired. It’s definitely made up of the kind of “facts” you would want to have verified before you repeat them.

For example, one states that exercise and pets are the most effective treatments for depression. But if you click on it to go to the source, it’s just an article that talks about how pets can improve your mental health. The core claim didn’t appear to be there. My guess is the facts are gleaned by an AI program because the words are correct - “exercise,” “pets,” and “depression” - but the gist of it was misleading.

Also, it says it’s for 12 and above, but I checked it out for maybe 5 minutes and got at least 2 “facts” having to do with adult content that I wouldn’t want my preteen reading!

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We appreciate your input on the accuracy of information and will look into refining our sources. We aim to provide reliable content for all ages, so we will review the language in our "facts" to ensure they are age-appropriate.

Cute but not factual

This site really needs to be fact checked, or at least allow users to point out when a fact is wrong. It should be an option under the fact beside the heart option.

They should also be banning bad sources. Some of the “fact sites” these facts are cited from are themselves cited from Facebook pages?!? Hardly a scientific source.

I love the customization and widgets but I trust the information 0% of the time

Great but some useless facts?

Good app, especially for free. But why would I need to know about a random cafe in France that charges $7 to rude customers and $1 to polite ones? - among other random ones

Very fun

It’s a very fun app with the option of choosing to pay or not great free version. I spent hours just reading the facts although after a while I kept re-reading the same facts, though that was after like 9-10 hours on the app. If the developers read this please more facts 🙏🙏🙏

Nice but Not completely factual

I like having a daily app that teaches you something new everyday but some of these facts are not completely accurate.
For example: “Consuming a polar bear’s liver, will cause death of a vitamin A overdose.” While it’s true that a polar bears liver contains high amounts of vitamin A, this is only true if 1. it’s a well fed polar bear, AND 2. It does not automatically mean you will die. But it is toxic to humans.
I think this app needs to change the wording. It should’ve said something like “ Consimjng a polar bears liver, COULD cause death of a vitamin A overdose.”
I hope that they will seriously make an effort to correct this as it’s not okay to pay for an app that you can’t completely rely on.

Hi there! We’re sorry to hear that you’ve encountered facts that might be incorrect. All of our facts are linked to the source material, but if you have a specific example please reach out to us at hello@monkeytaps.app so we can look into it.

Would recommend downloading! + Please add this fact!

Yes, you heard me, download this app, it’s a great source to spread knowledge and many interesting facts that activate your brain like a light switch! You can scroll and read all you want, and get smarter everyday! You can even change the background, into the suitable type you want with the wallpapers or from your photos! This app is pleasing, but if this fact is not in the app yet, here is the fact: “Did you know that if you leave your charger plugged to your outlet, while it isn’t charging anything, electricity could still leak from the plugged charger, and that electricity energy would go to waste as heat.” (Source: Google)

Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app. We appreciate your suggestion and will consider adding the interesting fact you shared in a future update. Keep spreading knowledge and activating those brains!

Slightly confused

Love the app, but had a question, there is an option to submit your own facts, but it says they will only be seen by you. Just curious what it’s for? Are they just for me, or are they submitted to be added to the facts that the app uses? Of course they’ll want to review them before hand to make sure it can be verified, but I’m not sure why I would input a fact I already know if the app is just going to periodically remind me, I didn’t see it in the faq’s

Why do we have to pay just for facts?

To be honest, this is an amazing concept but I don't want to pay just to read some facts from which I have read from the reviews, are 'outdated and look like some were written by a 13 year old girl who had a post-tramatic break-up issue'

I was excited to try out this app because I have tried out I am, one o your other apps. I did all of the bits to start using it until I was hit by a pay wall to use it. There was no way getting past this pay wall unlike the other apps you have created. Like, this is ridiculous. Why have a pay wall and not let anyone use a free version of it?!?!
