KnowledgeBall

Ask the ball of knowledge a question and it will give you an answer. And, if you dare ask in more detail, it will tell you your future.

Traditionally apps of this nature have one set of answers and are a simple but fun way to pass the time. Knowledge Ball has four different types of answers from traditional to sarcastic and an extra something not found elsewhere.

We all know its harmless fun but some people do want to know their future, and for those who do you can select fortune as your answer type and, asking what your future will be as you do so, touch the orb to get a prediction of your not so distant future.

How does it predict? It uses a mix of basic numerology principles, and chance, to tell your future at that point in time. It's a simple but effective approach and something a little different to other apps.

Knowledge Ball is free but has very small adverts at the bottom of the screen, this is why it requires internet permissions but you can use it with no internet access if you don't want to see any adverts.

A wide range of screen resolutions are supported, if you find this app does not display correctly on your android device please email with your devices make and model and it will be added to those supported.


Tested on a wide range of real and emulated devices the only issue found is that on devices with a 320 by 480 resolution and low to medium screen density the reply selector is slightly obscured (though still selectable) and the ball will not bounce off the selector as it should but bounce further down. This only happens on 320x480 low resolution devices, a fix was tested but caused higher resolutions to display incorrectly and so was removed.

This application is a rewritten update to KnowItBall which was removed from the American market after a large company there complained because the description mentioned three words it had copyrighted.

This app has been designed to replace it and has been enhanced with new graphics and to support more devices, and unlike its predecessor is available in all markets so please enjoy and if you have any problems at all please do get in touch.
