Random Fact of the Day - DailyBrain

I am a teacher. I have been using this app for several years and even though I have new kids each year, the teachers that I work with have noticed the repeats. Not sure why it is using same facts. Please fix because my students love it! My fellow teachers like it too!

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.

Good facts, if you just added this app to your phone, but they need to find new facts as they are repeating their old info. over and over!

I’ve had this app for some time now. My kids and I love having new and different information, but everything is a repeat at this point. I haven’t had a new fact in quite some time. 😕 Without an update, I will probably delete...

At first, I loved this app. I enjoyed receiving a new fact everyday. At least until I noticed that they’ve started repeating, which has been going on for a while now. Also, some of the sources come from strange sites and some of the links to those sources don’t work anymore. I even noticed that if I’m in the app, looking at the source, for too long it’ll crash. Some of the facts are also from the 90s and early 2000s as well and could’ve changed over time. I’d like some new and updated facts please. I don’t know if that will even happen considering the fact that the last update was 4 years ago.

So this is a bit embarrassing... but I’ve had daily brain for about 5 years now. I love that the facts are short enough to remember and they’re about tons of different things, but I haven’t gotten a new fact in a very long time. I don’t know if they’re on a year long loop or something, but an update with new facts would be much appreciated.
