Funny Facts 1.0.0.0

Have a fun time browsing through a wide variety of intriguing and amusing facts
Every once in a while, some people will be looking for a relaxing method of passing time and there are quite a few applications that they can turn to in order to spend a few fun minutes and even hours.

Windows Phone users have at their disposal many such utilities and among them there is one called Funny Facts that, as its name suggests, comes with some entertaining content, which can also have an educational value, as the information is also accurate.

Well organized front-end, made for ease of use

The appearance of this app is quite simple and without too many visually appealing elements of graphical design. The background on which the facts are presented is the most nice looking component of the interface.

The facts appear neatly structured inside an alphabetically ordered list, so you can choose the ones to check out on the spot. Moving from one fact to another is done by swiping horizontally, but, for some reason, the navigation is not always fluent.

A more visible letdown is the presence of some ad banners that are displayed in the upper part of the screen and keep on changing at a very high rate, which makes them really irritating and disruptive.

Pick the category to read facts from and share the fun on the go

With Funny Facts you get almost 30 different categories in which you can find several thousands of entries you can go through. You should note, though, that some of those facts, especially those with statistical references can be outdated, as they haven't been updated in years.

Distributing the content can be done with one tap and in your preferred way: by email, by SMS or through the social networks you subscribed to.

Keep your preferred facts at hand and on the Start screen

The application allows you to add all the information you like to the "Favorites" area by simply tapping the corresponding button from the main menu that is hosted in the lower side of the screen.

Should you care to have these particular items or other random facts shown on the Start screen, Funny Facts supports this feature and enables you to configure the live tile in no time.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
 

The looks of this utility fail to impress through anything and the only things that are worth a few points here are the nice background wallpaper and the neatly ordered list of facts.

Only on the main screen of Funny Facts or onto the live tile you can view the facts in random order as this option is not available while browsing the otherwise generous database.

The app will need to look into several system areas, some connected to its functions, but others are accessed for no good reason.

Battery7
 

The power consumption for this app is high at times as the battery usage goes past moderate levels on many occasions.

Price8
 

Despite some minor shortcomings, the utility has a decent worth as it comes free of cost to bring a good deal of fun and useful info from many of ares of interest.

Compatibility8
 

Funny Facts is only suitable for installation and use on the more recent handsets that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and higher.
