  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. [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.
  3. [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.
  4. [R33] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 3/5 · US Fun Game but..: I just want to say that I do enjoy the game alot. Its relaxing to come home after a long day and play a couple of trivia games against other people. I have 2 big gripes with the game however, the excessive amount of ads and some of the questions themselves. I understand that you need ads in order to keep the game free and to get some kind of money on it, but I don't want to keep ha
  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. [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
  8. [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?
  9. [R4] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Sad: I don’t mind free games with ads but this is ridiculous
  10. [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.
  11. [R10] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Ads: It’s ridiculous how many ads there are. Ruins the game.
  12. [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.
  13. [R84] Quiz & IQ test 3/5 · US Don’t pay for no ads!!: I paid for no ads. It was a one time fee of around $6. Don’t do that. The ads continued almost immediately and have not stopped. The interrupted play makes it far less enjoyable. I’d ask for the fee back if I knew how.
  14. [R103] Quiz & IQ test 1/5 · US Stuck: I started playing and liked the ap so bought ad free! it didn’t work because when I started to play again the ads came up. Now I am stuck on a game I DONT want and can’t get back to the game.
  15. [R118] Quiz & IQ test 2/5 · US Annoying ads: Paid to have ads removed, but still interrupted by ads
  16. [R64] Quiz & IQ test 1/5 · US Too Easy UPDATE. ANOTHER UPDATE. I’m DONE!: Update at the bottom of the original comments. I was going to give this one star, but decided to give three. I love trivia games, but I have to delete this one as it is too easy. I’m not sure why the questions are like that, but the answers are so obvious. Yes, I miss the occasional question, but the questions are just obvious. Such as the state of South
  17. [R73] Quiz & IQ test 1/5 · US questions too easy, repetitive, common use sense.: Ok to pass the time…no challenge
  18. [R81] Quiz & IQ test 3/5 · US Too easy: How about some questions that actually make us think?!
  19. [R96] Quiz & IQ test 3/5 · US Too easy: This could be a lot more challenging if the questions were harder.
  20. [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.
  21. [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.
