Facts Widget: Daily Fun trivia

Learn something new every time you look at your phone.

Facts Widget puts a short, surprising fact right on your home screen. No feeds to scroll, no news to catch up on, just one interesting idea at a time, in a calm and readable design. Glance at your phone and come away a little wiser.

A NEW FACT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Add the Facts Widget to your home screen and it moves on to a fresh fact throughout the day. Resize it to suit your layout, and tap it to open the app and keep reading. On most phones you can add it straight from the app.

SWIPE THROUGH FASCINATING FACTS
Open the app and swipe up through facts one by one, each set in clear, elegant type on a backdrop you choose. Every fact is short enough to read in seconds and interesting enough to share. Facts you haven't read come first, so it keeps finding something new.

FACT OF THE DAY, WITH FRESH ARTWORK
Every day brings a featured Fact of the Day, paired with an original illustration made for that fact. Check in each morning to see what today's fact is and how it was drawn.

ONLY THE SUBJECTS YOU LOVE
Choose the topics that interest you and Facts Widget shows facts only from those. Pick one subject or mix several together. Start with General, Space, Animals, Dinosaurs, History and Ocean, then explore 33 more:

Ancient World, Architecture, Art, Birds, Chemistry, Computers, Deserts, Earth, Energy, Exploration, Flight, Food, Forests, Geography, Insects, Inventions, Language, Materials, Mathematics, Money, Music, Mythology, Physics, Plants, Psychology, Rivers, Science, Sports, Technology, Timekeeping, Transportation, Volcanoes and Weather.

That's nearly 10,000 facts across 39 topics, about 250 in each, from octopus hearts to the first barcode scan. Every fact has been checked against published sources such as encyclopedias, museums and science agencies.

TEST YOURSELF EACH WEEK
Once a week, a short quiz asks you about five facts you've read recently, with one number left out of each. See how much stuck, then get back to discovering.

STYLE YOUR WIDGET
Make it yours with 18 textured backdrops, from soft paper and linen to slate, dusk, marble and deep ocean blue. Each backdrop pairs with a text colour chosen to stay easy to read, and your choice carries through to both the app and the widget.

KEEP YOUR FAVOURITES
Tap the heart on any fact to save it. Your saved facts live in their own collection, ready to revisit whenever you like. Found one you have to tell someone about? Share it in a tap to messages, email or social apps.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to. Facts Widget doesn't ask for your name, email or contacts, and your saved facts stay on your device. Every fact is stored in the app, so the widget and the main feed work offline. Only the Fact of the Day and its artwork are fetched from the internet.

FACTS WIDGET PRO
The six starter topics, with more than 1,500 facts, and six backdrops are free. Facts Widget Pro unlocks all 39 topics and all 18 backdrops. Choose a weekly, monthly or annual subscription, or unlock Pro forever with a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically, and you can cancel any time in Google Play.

Facts are provided for general interest only.
