  1. [R1] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Too much interference: The fact that you cannot simply play against yourself is a disappointment. I am deleting this one.
  2. [R8] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 5/5 · US Better: Better than normal trivia crack
  3. [R11] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 5/5 · US “Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games Review”: Such a refreshingly different way of playing Trivia Crack, how can I give it anything else but a five star review? Thank you EVER SO MUCH for making this fantastic game!!! Please keep up the great work.
  4. [R16] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Boring, easy Adware: Questions are way too easy and repeat. Full of ads
  5. [R6] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Mostly Ads: You still be inundated with ads. Every few questions, you’ll receive an ad - win or lose. Within a couple minutes of starting, after answering 5/5 questions, I got stuck in an ad. Had to shut down and restart app to get out of it. I understand the game is free and you can pay to remove ads, but this level of ads makes me just want to avoid the game altogether.
  6. [R21] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Ad Malfunctions: I understand the need for ads to keep the game free, but this many?? I can’t do anything without an ad popping up it’s so annoying. Also sometimes I’m not able to close the ads and have to completely quit the app. Still a lot of bugs it would seem.
  7. [R24] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Just okay, not great: The main screen is too busy. The ads are waaaay too frequent and too long. It’s difficult to know how to use any rewards you’ve earned. The support doesn’t work. The actual game part of it is fun. Unfortunately it’s difficult to enjoy due to the other aspects. 1) How do we see our win/loss record? 2) Why have a Support button if it doesn’t work?
  8. [R46] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Why?: I wanted to like this game. But every time I open it up to play someone back it auto answers a question and I just lose a turn. Despite me only opening the game. It’s infuriating
  9. [R18] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Repeats the same questions: This game is OK, but it is constantly repeating the same questions in the same round. For instance, they asked the same question four times in one round same goes for other questions. It sometimes it doesn’t count your points, and the grammar on some questions isn’t good.
  10. [R22] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US FIX UR ADS BRO: It LITERALLY takes four minutes trying to get out of some of the ads on this stupid app. I clicked the X 101 times and it keeps taking me to the App Store for whatever the ad is for. It happens every turn. It’s the most infuriating thing ever. I have never left a review before, but I am because I need this to be fixed. You have to click it in the most perfect orientation or it’ll t
  11. [R4] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Sad: I don’t mind free games with ads but this is ridiculous
  12. [R7] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Disaster: I had never seen anything like this before. This much advertising in the middle of every game round and after every question, awful.
  13. [R10] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Ads: It’s ridiculous how many ads there are. Ruins the game.
  14. [R17] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 5/5 · US A few problems but good game: 1.kids please add a kid mode because little kids want to answer questions correctly please make it 12 and under please thank you. 2.to much ads please make 4 ads every time you get on. 3.lives you know what I’m talking about it is the little things that break when you get an answer wrong when you watch a ad to get the hearts make every time pleas give us two lives and
  15. [R27] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Update: Needs updated questions . A lot of these people are too old for us to know
  16. [R39] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Sheilz: Really fun game. But I really wish they’d have more diverse sports questions. Over 50% of the questions in the sports category at least are about football.
  17. [R65] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 5/5 · US The best but too many ads :(: It is very good, many tricky brain problems, not that much stress, but it has a lot of ads……I HATE ADS….. ahem….people….. welcome to my world, the AD WORLD I don’t want to see another ad EVER AGAIN!!!!!! Pls fix this
  18. [R70] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 1/5 · US Good game, but the ads, bro.😭😭😭😭: So I've had this game for a while and it's fun! I really enjoy it, but the ads bro it's after EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. At this point I'm playing the playable ads more than the actual game! Now I also know that developers need ads to get money bc the game is free (in most situations) BUT HOLY MOTHER OF ADS
  19. [R31] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Riddled with Ads: After every single turn you have to watch an ad. It’s ridiculous and totally ruins the game play. It’s quicker to close the app and restart after every turn than watch the ad. I downloaded it to play the game, not watch ads. Absolutely awful.
  20. [R43] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US More ads than game: Answer a question…Ad….Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question…Ad….Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…Answer a question….Ad…
  21. [R13] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US WARNING DO NOT BUY ANY LADDER REWARDS: If you are buying the ¢99 ladder reward for the Free “No Ads” tier be aware that it is only for 24 hours only. It is blatantly misleading to scrape ¢99 off of anyone who thinks they got a good deal.
  22. [R40] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Greed Like You’ve Never Seen: Trivia crack is such a good game at it’s core. Unfortunately, to reach that core, you have to peel back 10 onion layers of constant pop-up advertisements and in-game purchases. To remove ads from this game, you have to pay a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION. Even if you were to do this, you will be hit with more in-game pop-ups asking you for money every time you are doing someth
  23. [R61] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 1/5 · US It’s been 2 years: It’s been two whole years since I wrote a review I finished two years ago and there still haven’t been new levels this game sucks I liked to play it when it actually had levels and also everytime after I finished a level there were ads like who is tryna watch ads every 10 minutes new flash NO ONE also sorry if it seems like I’m being rude I’m not I just want new levels No bro I
  24. [R69] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 3/5 · US NEED MORE LEVELS: I do like the game a lot, but I believe it needs more levels. I already did them all and it’s starting to get boring when I do them again.please add more levels.
  25. [R75] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 3/5 · US Good-ish: This is an amazing game but while there are a lot of ads after every level there needs to be more levels I finished the game after only 2 days
  26. [R83] Who is? Brain Teaser & Riddles 4/5 · US Levels: This game is good it just needs more levels because u have finished everyone within a week! And it says coming soon but I have waited a year now! And I have finished all of the daily quizzes and they are just easy but overall good game but a lot of ads and if you are the developer please reply back
  27. [R36] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Too much stranger things: This game is fun. My only problem is when I click on unusual phenomena. It’s too many stranger things questions. Bro I’m 29 I don’t know anything about stranger things.
