Trivia to Go - the Quiz Game

I'm giving this game three stars for its general playability, although I'm not too fond of the time limit on answering questions. I also like that it adjusts the level of the next question to your success answering the current question. What I'm not enjoying, is the truly trivial nature of the questions. Yeah, I know it's a "trivia" game. But the sports, music, miscellaneous, and arts questions all seem to involve contemporary pop culture that I'm simply not in touch with. My experience so far is that the "easy" questions involve things you would have learned in high school or college that could be considered relatively important in the grand scheme of things (science history literature) whereas the "hard" questions involve ephemeral, contemporary, silly knowledge like hit songs or basketball players. I guess the developers show faith in our education system by structuring things this way. I infer that they believe, "Hey, you went to school, asking you about Charles Martel is easy peazy!" But it's just not worth my time to keep running into "hard" questions that are beyond my ken because I don't have a 16-year-old's taste in music and I'm not a sports fanatic.

This is not one of those… What do you call them, computer generated reviews. I’m 50 years old and this is the first review I’ve ever written. What can I say? Exquisite. Brilliant. Engaging. Addictive. I can’t get through any movie because I’m constantly pausing to answer the next question. Get it, pay the $2.99 to get rid of the ads and support them. Do it. Their line should be: Want to loose weight? Want the old ticker to last another 57 years? Sit your arse down on your unused exercise bike, play this game & half an hour of peddling will have felt like 5 minutes.”

Make no mistake, the questions are hard! There are no slam-dunks and few “soft” options among the possible answers. I really got schooled! And this is mostly real trivia, not a recap of high school. You have to just happen to know the answers. I was thoroughly humiliated the first time I played! Often I win big hypothetical prizes on other trivia apps, but I found myself getting 4 and 5 out of 10, and once as low as 2. But I loved it the way you do when you’re really challenged. Here’s my “but”—there’s not enough content, or else something’s wrong with the app’s operating system. I finished every question in a few days and eventually got them all perfect. I was willing to pay for a new pack of questions, but even so I couldn’t find material to buy. Come on, add some more of those ruthless questions, or fix the link to the App Store!
