***Note from Developer***
OK, I think we figured out what you guys meant by "doubles" :) What we did was scour through our facts one by one and deleted duplicates. However, facts still show up "randomly." As a result, because facts are chosen at random, you may encounter a fact that you've seen before. BUT, you'll notice that you didn't COLLECT a new fact, therefore, the fact collection counter will not be incremented. Please look forward to a new update that will allow you to go through these facts sequentially, instead of randomly. Thanks for the feedback!

Mediocre
I have personally spent several months reading all 10513 facts. I would say with repetition and blanks there are about 7500 facts. Of these around 3000 I would say involve statistical data. Research has proven that facts involving statistical data are incorrect half the time and I am sure many are out of date as well lowering the amount of facts actually learned that are correct to 6000 facts. Also throughout my share of having this app I have seen no updates on the fact quality or quantity making the creators seem apathetic to this apps reliability and enjoyment level to it's consumers. So I stand at 2 stars for the reasoning of an actual low fact count and apathetic developmental team.
Just read
This app is great but some stuff are soo wrong (ex. Sombrero doesn't mean man in Spanish it only means hat; hombre means man) and alot are repeated or written wrong so please fiz ASAP but this app is great!! Oh and can you plz tell me how to change the background?? :-)
This app is entertaining, but I know for a fact that I will never get through all of then, every month they add like 5000 more facts, take it easy
