Trivia Buff 1.2
Simplistic interface with few tools
The app opens with an updated list of new and trending articles on various topics. There's also a section with favored articles, together with settings to change the font size and the option to upgrade and remove banner ads for 0.99$.
The background is dark, the app could have used some more features and customization options, like themes and the option to browse articles by topic, the date they were added or the website. Still, you can use the search bar to find facts on matters that interest you the most, but you can't set the app to pick them for you.
Search for interesting information
