My only problem is that it interferes with Google Maps. Have to use a different browser all the time for my maps. OTHERWISE IT IS AWESOME!

I love this app. So many different facts. I just wish it stayed on the page a little longer.Some times it wizzes by so fast I can't read the fact. Oh well! A problem for the developer!

It's alright, I guess. It does what it says, but few of its facts are actually "awesome", as the name implies. The average weight of a giraffe might be a fact, but it is not particularly interesting. There are also typos and grammatical errors, and some "facts" just repeat factoids that are common to the internet but are simply not true, or questionable statistics that cannot possibly be corroborated. Still, it's somewhat entertaining at least. And I like the general concept.
