Uber facts is a five star application on the app store. One good thing I noticed about this application is that new facts are added daily without a miss. You can sign in using your Twitter account only. Also, there is no compulsion regarding signing in. You can go through the application without signing in as well. The facts are divided into multiple categories which are Love, Wildlife, Film and TV, Internet and so on. Even after a number of categories, there is one category named, Everything else. This contains any thing which was left out in the categories mentioned above. The facts are not displayed as plain boring texts, instead an image depicting some relevance to the facts is posted along with the fact so that one can actually enjoy learning.
To give this application a social network kind of feel, comments and likes features have been added to every fact.
