If you want true facts that come to you through the day, FunFact is the app in this comparison that shows the source of every fact and can send you up to 10 facts a day as notifications. The others lean more on trivia quizzes or long lists. FunFact is our app: we say so to be transparent, and the table only uses what each developer states on its App Store listing.
