Ask Britain a question.
Get the number, the chart, the source.

An iOS app that answers questions about the UK from official statistics alone. It refuses rather than guesses.

Checked, not scraped

Every figure comes from a warehouse built from primary government data: the spreadsheets, tables and APIs published by the ONS, NHS, DWP, HMRC, Home Office, Bank of England and dozens of other official bodies. Before any dataset enters, its figures are reconciled against the publisher's own headline numbers. If they do not match, the data does not load.

Honest about its limits

If the data to answer a question is not held, the app says so plainly and names the official dataset that could answer it. It never estimates, never forecasts, and never fills gaps from general knowledge.

Support

Questions, corrections and support requests are welcome. Every answer in the app cites its exact series and publisher, so if you believe a figure is wrong, include the citation and it will be checked against the primary source.

Privacy

Questions are computed live and never stored on our servers. There is no analytics tracking in the app. The full policy is at /privacy.

Independent and non partisan. Not affiliated with the UK Government. Data is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0 or the publisher's own terms, with sources credited on every answer. From the maker of the British Resilience Index.
