What?!?!
You only get a few facts to start with. Want more? U HAVE TO PAY!! When I clicked on the mega pack to see if it would be worth it, the app gave me some sort of "grown up test". The question was outrageous: 7•2= ? A little kid could solve that easily! It was supposed to make sure that u were at least 13 yrs old. I am exactly that age, and also kinda offended that they would use that as the question! So people, don't waste ur time. There are so many better apps than this one.
Cool, but terrible
Before I got the app I read the reviews and they said this app was a pile of dirt. So I thought I could give it a second chance but it turns out it does only give u like 15 facts when u could look up 150 on Google. I think they should give us more facts and many then I would rate it five stars. I hope the company can give it some changes.
Good luck,
Sincerely,Kylee
Don't like it.
So, I ordered my kids the national geographic kids magazine, and they really liked it. And, when I was reading to them the weird but true facts, they said I want the app for I can read facts in the car! So I downloaded the app and my kids were very upset that there were only 15 facts, and I didn't want to spend the money.
