### 4/5 — It’s repeating!

*2021-08-01*

I am a teacher. I have been using this app for several years and even though I have new kids each year, the teachers that I work with have noticed the repeats. Not sure why it is using same facts. Please fix because my students love it! My fellow teachers like it too!

### 3/5 — Interesting, sort of accurate

*2021-04-22*

I’m a fan of random, useless facts that are interesting to read and think about. However, it irks me when said facts are not entirely accurate. For instance, a couple days ago there was a “fact” that popped up that said something to the extent of “a chess knight can move to each square on a chess board only once.”  I’m a chess player myself and such a statement struck me as odd because there is nothing in the rules that says that once one moves a knight to a certain square, one can never move it back. Fortunately, there was a link to a Wikipedia article on the knight’s tour chess puzzle, where one takes the knight on a complete tour of the board and only touches each square one time. The statement would have been accurate if it read, “In the knight’s tour, it is possible to touch each square on a chess board with the knight exactly once.”
     Not only that, but every so often there appeared a fact that made me feel dumber for having read it. I don’t have an example because I did my best to purge my memory of such. 
     So, although somewhat fun, I deleted this app because I can get more accurate and enlightening random facts elsewhere.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2020-01-16, version 1.3*

Please fix the sharing to Facebook option. Also some "facts" aren't factual. Horse meat is not called Sakura in Japan for example.

Please update, it’s been 4 years.

### 3/5 — Good facts.

*2019-12-23, version 1.3*

Good facts, if you just added this app to your phone, but they need to find new facts as they are repeating their old info. over and over!

### 3/5 — Please Update

*2019-07-28*

I’ve had this app for some time now. My kids and I love having new and different information, but everything is a repeat at this point. I haven’t had a new fact in quite some time. 😕 Without an update, I will probably delete...

### 4/5 — One thing more

*2019-07-10, version 1.3*

This is a great app with lots of fascinating facts that enthrall the mind. I wouldn't mind paying for and app like this. However I would like to request that you add a history tab so we can search past facts that we’ve read. They should be archived for at least 12 months at a time. Many thanks and Great job!!!

### 3/5 — Good for a while...

*2019-06-12*

So this is a bit embarrassing... but I’ve had daily brain for about 5 years now. I love that the facts are short enough to remember and they’re about tons of different things, but I haven’t gotten a new fact in a very long time. I don’t know if they’re on a year long loop or something, but an update with new facts would be much appreciated.

### 4/5 — Same daily facts as last year

*2019-05-28*

The app itself & the info is ok. But I’ve noticed that the facts do repeat themselves. Do they not even change the calendar of facts daily or do they just repeat now & then?

### 4/5 — Where’s the Widget

*2019-02-07, version 1.3*

This would be 5 stars if it had a widget! It’s the perfect app for that! Add a widget!

### 2/5 — Repeats Facts

*2018-12-16, version 1.3*

It was fun when I first got the app. Now it just cycles through the same like 45 facts. Sometimes I’ll see the same fact 3 times in a month 🙄🙄🙄 I’m deleting this app and trying something different.

### 2/5 — Great collection of random facts but...

*2018-10-28, version 1.3*

I used to like this App a lot since each day I could share some interesting facts with my kids and work colleagues. But unfortunately after using the App daily for the last two years or so I can see that many daily entries repeat. The App is only great when it tells you something new. The old repeated news are not fun to read anymore.

### 4/5 — Great but!

*2018-06-25*

This is a great informational app. My daughter and I love to open it daily and read the facts they provide. Only problem is a lot of the time it will repeat the same facts. Other than that we absolutely love it.

### 2/5 — Too many repeats

*2018-06-03, version 1.3*

I have had this app for years and I have seen the largest milk producing country fact a few times now. I’m wondering if there is only 365 facts....?

### 4/5 — Love it!!

*2018-04-16, version 1.3*

I love this app, but I have not received anything new, lately.  Please add some more new facts.  

Sad in St. Louis 😢

### 1/5 — Great facts but are repeated to often

*2021-12-31, version 1.3*

Great facts but are repeated to often

### 1/5 — Is It EVER Going to be Updated???

*2018-10-15, version 1.3*

The PROBLEM is in the title of this review...

TOO FEW daily facts/interesting info. You cycle through all of them far too soon. I've seen everyone of the daily facts at least three times...

Update 10/15/18: STILL not updated/expanded. I’ve now read every interesting fact maybe 6-8 times... Not sure how many facts are in this app, perhaps enough for 6-9 months (maybe less) but certainly it too few. Took my rating from 2 stars down to but 1.

### 1/5 — Your fact today is wrong

*2018-04-21, version 1.3*

Mad Men is not HBO. It’s AMC

### 1/5 — Awful

*2016-12-12, version 1.3*

I would have given this app a rating below 0, but it wasn't possible. I had my hopes up to have an app to learn something in depth about a topic, but I got a sentence. Appalling.

### 1/5 — Worst app.

*2015-03-13, version 1.3*

I would give this negative stars if that was possible but one is the lowest. The facts are the same ones over and over again. You can not go back and check old facts, which fails to allow proper cross-checking. Deleting app and I wouldn't waste the data or space if I was anyone else.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2014-09-19, version 1.2*

One fact a day is pretty useless and I lost interest fast.

### 1/5 — Losing interest too

*2014-01-10, version 1.2*

Repeating last years facts

### 2/5 — It’s ok.

*2020-05-12, version 1.3*

At first I thought it was cool to get new facts everyday. That is until I realized you can’t go back and look at previous facts. Unless I just don’t know how to and it is possible,  please fix this. It may not be important to other but it is important to me.

### 2/5 — Duh!

*2020-04-15, version 1.3*

Many obvious postings and repetitive. Must be a tiny database, with items that are well known. It was fun for a couple of months until items cycled around many times

### 2/5 — PLEASE update

*2019-07-03*

At first, I loved this app. I enjoyed receiving a new fact everyday. At least until I noticed that they’ve started repeating, which has been going on for a while now. Also, some of the sources come from strange sites and some of the links to those sources don’t work anymore. I even noticed that if I’m in the app, looking at the source, for too long it’ll crash. Some of the facts are also from the 90s and early 2000s as well and could’ve changed over time. I’d like some new and updated facts please. I don’t know if that will even happen considering the fact that the last update was 4 years ago.
