Do you know this VH1 show I love the 70s/80s/90s featuring fun facts during a decade ? What about the books Year 1973 or Year xyz with a collection of facts occurring that year ? Well, there is an app for this !! Not just one decade or one year, but almost 10000 facts spanning 59 years (1950-2009). The Lite version of this app allows you to see 20 random facts for any given time period. The full version gives you access to the entire 10000 facts.
* SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE:
You will feel right at home with a clean and simple interface: simply pick the time period you are interested in (the full 58 years, or the 60s, 70s... or a specific year) and choose whether you want chronological or random order. Then sit down, relax and get ready for a pleasurable and rewarding reading experience.
Presented to you in a smooth, relaxing fashion, you will find the interface natural and intuitive (it is very similar to the way you browse pictures in your photo albums).
