Health Facts 1.0.0.0
For those who want to get the bits of wisdom and knowledge right onto their Windows Phone handsets, a utility like Health Facts could come in handy.
Colored backgrounds and easy navigation
The interface of this application is quite simple and has some fun wallpapers displayed on the background, even if the graphics could be a lot better polished, as they seem rough around the edges in many cases.
The images change automatically as you go through the information sheets and regardless of the current section of the app you are currently viewing, the advertisement banners will accompany you.
Browse the facts in their normal order or have them shown randomly
There are two methods of going through the hundreds of tips and facts included inside this application, namely in straight order, from 1 to 634, or you can shuffle them by pressing the dice button and have the data sheets shown arbitrarily.
By rating any of the facts presented to you by this app you will be adding them automatically to the "Favorites" section, form where you can review them at any time. The info brought to you by Health Facts is pretty accurate and some of it contains historical references, while others are downright hilarious.
Keep the pictures and share the information
The application will allow you to save each background image to your local storage with a simple tap. Also, those who want to deactivate the wallpapers, have this option at hand, inside the main menu from the lower side of the screen.
Should you want to spread the knowledge or the fun to your friends, this utility supports sending the facts via email, SMS or it can have them posted directly onto your Facebook account.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
Visually, this app looks pretty decently, but there are some shortcomings, despite the varied choice of backgrounds it comes with. Also, the continuously changing adverts take away some of the good feel of the utility. |
Function9
There are plenty of interesting and fun facts waiting to be discovered inside this application and the random mode, as well as the possibility to save the wallpapers and the option to share the info are some welcomed additions. |
Security9
Health Facts seems pretty safe to use as it only needs to access the phone and owner identities, while the permissions for phone dialer and multimedia libraries are legit, as they are related to its functionality. |
Battery8
Using this app for longer periods of time results in a moderate battery usage, as the power consumption is constantly average. |
Price9
A most useful and instructive utility, this application offers all the information without asking for anything in return, except for a whole lot of patience for putting up with the countless ads. |
Compatibility9
Built to run on most Windows Phone devices, this app only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system to be installed onto the target handset. |
