Interesting Facts 1.6.5.3
Windows Phone users have at their disposal many such utilities and among them there is one called Interesting Facts that, as its name suggests, comes with some fascinating content, which includes fun and also educational facts, as the information is accurate.
Beautiful GUI, with a neat layout
The application greets you with a cool looking front-end that sports some amazing background images. From the "Settings" menu you can pick a certain theme or leave the randomization option on to have all of them cycle inside the interface.
The texts are easy to read, as they are written clearly in a yellow font and the transparency of the text area makes for a nice effect allowing you to look at the cool wallpaper behind it.
Browsing the comprehensive database of this utility is smooth and the only visible hindrance comes form the ad banners that appear here and there, in the upper side of the screen.
Go through the fun facts and save your favorites
As soon as Interesting Facts starts, it will prompt you to choose the categories you are interested in receiving information from and with over 20 such entries at your disposal you can enjoy a few thousand facts in all.
One you finish making the selection, the app will present you one fun and interesting fact after another, but you will have to change the facts by yourself either by pressing the dedicated buttons. Moving from one fact to another can also be done by swiping horizontally.
The utility makes it possible for you to add all the info you like to the "Favorites" area by simply tapping the corresponding button placed right between the other two meant for navigating the facts database.
Sharing options and image saving abilities
To help you keep the information you are interested in, there is a "Save" function that sends the background image in the "Saved Pictures" folder on your phone.
Another neat feature of Interesting Facts is the ability to share the facts on the spot with your friends by sending them an SMS, an email or posting on Facebook and Twitter.
