Random Fact of the Day for Android

I’m a fan of random, useless facts that are interesting to read and think about. However, it irks me when said facts are not entirely accurate. For instance, a couple days ago there was a “fact” that popped up that said something to the extent of “a chess knight can move to each square on a chess board only once.” I’m a chess player myself and such a statement struck me as odd because there is nothing in the rules that says that once one moves a knight to a certain square, one can never move it back. Fortunately, there was a link to a Wikipedia article on the knight’s tour chess puzzle, where one takes the knight on a complete tour of the board and only touches each square one time. The statement would have been accurate if it read, “In the knight’s tour, it is possible to touch each square on a chess board with the knight exactly once.” Not only that, but every so often there appeared a fact that made me feel dumber for having read it. I don’t have an example because I did my best to purge my memory of such. So, although somewhat fun, I deleted this app because I can get more accurate and enlightening random facts elsewhere.

Awesome range of knowledge to learn from this app!

At first I thought it was cool to get new facts everyday. That is until I realized you can’t go back and look at previous facts. Unless I just don’t know how to and it is possible, please fix this. It may not be important to other but it is important to me.

Many obvious postings and repetitive. Must be a tiny database, with items that are well known. It was fun for a couple of months until items cycled around many times

Please fix the sharing to Facebook option. Also some "facts" aren't factual. Horse meat is not called Sakura in Japan for example. Please update, it’s been 4 years.
