Read full description

Swipe through fun facts that make you say "wait, really?" Factopia deals you one surprising fact at a time. Like it to save it, skip it to see the next. Every fact is short, hand-checked against its source, and filed under one of 13 topics: Animals, Nature, Space, Science, Human Body, Tech & Inventions, History, World, Food & Drink, Sports, Movies, Music & Games, Art & Literature, and Words & Language. FLIP FOR THE PHOTO Many cards turn over to show the real thing behind the fact: the animal, the place, the invention. ASK ABOUT ANYTHING Type any topic, from sharks to Saturn to sourdough, and AI writes ten fresh facts about it on the spot. Want more on a card you like? Tap Tell Me More. TRIVIA THAT STICKS Quick games test what you just learned: guess the number, guess the year, spot the true fact. A Daily Challenge brings five games every day. BUILD A HABIT A small daily goal keeps your streak going. Earn coins as you play and spend them on AI topics and themes. MAKE IT YOURS Collect hand-drawn themes, each with its own matching app icon. Every topic has a pencil-sketch scene of its own. ALSO • Fact of the Day widget for your Home Screen • "Tell me a fact with Factopia" with Siri • Seasonal fact sets, like Halloween • Works beautifully on iPhone Duo, folded or open FACTOPIA PREMIUM Every topic every day, AI without coins, twice the coins for everything you do, going back up to ten cards, and a streak freeze every 3 days. Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly, the yearly plan with a 3-day free trial). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
