Trivia Buff 1.8.7
Trivia Buff addresses Windows Phone users and aims to bring right at their fingertips a plethora of fascinating and fun facts that many will be glad to learn.
Plain looks for a practical front-end
The utility has a simple appearance, clearly focusing on functionality as it lacks any elements of design that would be appealing. The thumbnail images that accompany most articles presented inside the app are of a decent quality.
Moving through the list of facts is fairly fluent, but when switching the sections or accessing the "Settings" menu frequently a quite long delay can be noticed.
The ever-present advertisements are shown in the lower side of the screen and occasionally you will also get some reminders that prompt you to rate the Trivia Buff.
Read new facts or search for specific ones to share or keep as favorites
This application opens with a couple of fresh articles displayed inside the suggestively called "New" section and scrolling down you will realize that the list is not going to reach an end any time soon.
Once you open an entry from the long list you will have the possibility to mark it as favorite and have it available in the dedicated area of the app, move to the next or to the previous fact and share the content.
Distributing articles can be done via email, SMS, social networks or you can copy the content to the system clipboard and use it inside a fresh document if necessary.
