10500 Cool Facts for iPhone

An endless supply of useless information on your iPhone

Did you know that the cigarette lighter was invented before the match? Or that it was illegal to sell E.T. dolls in France because there is a law against selling dolls without human faces? Nope, neither did I until I installed 4400+ Cool Facts on my iPhone.

The 4400+ Cool Facts app is perfect for trivia fans (or 'smart asses' as they call them where I come from) because it contains a seemingly never-ending stream of useless facts and information. I would challenge the description that all these facts are 'cool' though, because in reality a large chunk of them are pretty boring.

However, there are some real gems in there ('Apples are more efficient than caffeine at keeping people awake in the mornings', 'Farmers in England are required by law to provide their pigs with toys'), and it's the chance of unearthing these that keeps you glued to this app.

The 4400+ cool facts in the app are navigated in a rather novel way - by shaking the iPhone to skip through them. You can also go back through the facts by swiping the screen. This makes for a quick and easy way of working your way through all the trivia.

Although lots of the tidbits of trivia in 4400+ cool facts are quite boring, you'll find there are enough in there to impress a few of your pals.
