  1. [R5] Trivia Crack 4/5 · US Could be better: It’s was better when people were able to post questions/photos on the app I don’t know why you guys removed that.
  2. [R13] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Don’t install, waste of time: Virtually unplayable, ads after each turn, bots trying to play games. An awful feature that’s a knockoff of monopoly go. Always begging you to subscribe to their “prime” membership for no ads. The questions are either impossible or geared towards a kindergartener. AI images to go with the terrible questions?? So unnecessary. It takes days to finish a game. The ui is a
  3. [R34] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Bots: Constantly just fills my game with fake accounts to play against
  4. [R38] Trivia Crack 4/5 · US Great: Great game, I love playing it, I miss the story’s though, that was a fun way to reach out to the community and get your questions out there. Please bring back.
  5. [R1] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Ads on Ads on Ads: Hope you enjoy being bombarded with unskippable ads every 20 seconds
  6. [R7] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Too many ads: Normally I don’t write reviews. However, I’ve been playing trivia crack for years and when I redownloaded it last night to find it absolutely packed with ads. Not one or two ads but like 10 in one play session. It really killed the experience for me on this.
  7. [R8] Trivia Crack 5/5 · US Love It: I like the game, but please make the ads easier to close, because I’m blind and use a screen reader and I can’t afford the prime membership right now.
  8. [R10] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US TO MANY ADS!!!!!: Can’t even play the game for 30 seconds without an AD popping up! RUINSSSS the game completely. They’re lucky all I can put 1 star!!
  9. [R23] Trivia Crack 4/5 · US Bugs in the update: I love this game but with the newest update I can’t load the parks. I reloaded and cleared cashe. Also tried going thru rewards. Please fix this
  10. [R27] Trivia Crack 3/5 · US Right answers and led answers that are not current: I mostly enjoy the game but find it very frustrating when you win right answersu and you come back to use them and they are gone. This has happened twice in the last month. I purchased the add free version but continually get pop ups asking me to buy extra answers and so forth for the game annoying. I am not sure how someone can have 60000 points
  11. [R59] Trivia Crack 5/5 · US Integrity is worsening: App will close mid-play causing you to not continue and lose your turn. Ads freeze, and eventually you won’t be able to continue, therefore lose the rest of your turn. Ads can last more than a minute. You have to click x on ad up to 4 times to finally get out of it and continue to game.
  12. [R78] 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.
  13. [R6] Trivia Crack 3/5 · US Sooo many ads: Love this game but the ads are ridiculous! I get that how they make people may to get rid of ads but there’s not even a one time purchase to remove ads you have to pay $8 monthly!!!
  14. [R37] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Absolute mess.: Honestly i really love the game itself but all of the micro transactions and also this new energy feature is awful. I PAID for the ad free version of this game and its asking me to pay a subscription to be able to actually play the game?? Its actually ridiculous you have 25 energy and its very easy to use up. I just cant. I wish they would remove this because they have genuinely ru
  15. [R43] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US Nothing like what it used to be.: If you’re expecting a trivia games with friends, be prepared to be disappointed. Ads around every turn (unless you shell out $100 a year) you literally can’t end a question without an ad. I have to force close the game in order to play it in pace with someone. Tons of new game modes! Neat! Until you are unable to turn off notifications for the ones you are not
  16. [R57] Trivia Crack 3/5 · GB Deeply disappointing for Blind players: A very addictive game, lots of fascinating questions and answers, however if you are blind, the game becomes extremely frustrating because of the number of questions that are: what is this in the picture, who is this, where is this,? Parts of the game are not properly labelled as well! Please could the developers simply remove all the questions involving pic
  17. [R77] 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
  18. [R84] 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?
  19. [R64] Trivia Crack Retro Brain Games 1/5 · US Sad: I don’t mind free games with ads but this is ridiculous
  20. [R100] 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
  21. [R29] Trivia Crack 5/5 · US Trivia crack: brain quiz games: This game is so much fun because I get to use the information I learned from Mrs Cunningham Mr messinger and Mrs Valerio.
  22. [R46] Trivia Crack 1/5 · US IF YOURE 24 & UNDER DONT PLY THIS: WHO THE HELL!! UPDATE THE QUESTIONS!!!!! IM 24 NOT 87!!!!!
  23. [R60] Trivia Crack 3/5 · GB Fact checking?: Are these questions fact checked? I’m a historian and some of the answers and questions are wrong!
