That is why each fact can be cited in the app by pressing a button to the relevant wikipedia page. Now you can be 100% sure when sharing that awesome fact you just read that you’re right.

Looks great!

Just wondering why the app is 29.5 mb in size? It can’t be the graphics or data?

Does facebook functionality add that much MB’s to your project?

it actually is because of graphics. i chose to do each fact as an individual graphic because at the time it seemed easier. i do plan on going back and reducing the file size in an update. on a sidenote are any iOS users getting an error the first time they share a fact?

What about creating a simple sql database, and just use display.newText on the background? That would reduce the size of the app bigtime!

Great app! Though you should probably, as mentioned above use a SQLite database instead of having a image for each and every fact. [import]uid: 24111 topic_id: 22230 reply_id: 88675[/import]
