Sporcle

The mobile app serves its job as a mobile app well, (even if the iPadOS version feels like a stretched out iPhone port,) but in terms of features compared to the website, there's a few features that are absent from this app. For example, the app doesn't have the map layout editor, nor can you use the search filters without entering a search term, which you can achieve in the website by searching for nothing. There's also weird quirks here and there, such as the picture box quizzes starting out very zoomed in, and grid quizzes using an odd custom keyboard instead of the ios keyboard, (which means you can't swipe down to use special characters on ipad.) On top of that, you can't move items in the quiz editor by dragging items, you must enter the number you want the item to move to. It's a bit difficult for me to determine if i should recommend this app or not, as the website also has quirks when used on a mobile device. I suppose it depends on what quirks you're willing to deal with. As for me, I might end up using the website instead.

My daughter downloaded this game for me because I have been having trouble remembering some stuff and she thought it would be good for me to be able to do different games in order to be able to recognize things better. I have played several games some of them 100% others 25% if I’m lucky, but I really enjoy the game a lot and I do recommend it for if you are having memory problems and having trouble recognizing things.

I’m obsessed with Sporcle and love that it’s finally available in app form since responsive mode on phones didn’t really work well. The trivia games are so fun and depending on which ones you do, you can seriously learn new things. For example, I finally learned all the countries in the world & where they’re located from repeatedly playing Sporcle geography games That being said, they still really need to work out the bugs. Sometimes slide-out/pop-up panes like notifications just refuse to load and show. Their ads are also buggy and sometimes freeze the entire app. They’re also like 10x more common than on the website version. I don’t mind apps since it’s a good way for them to make money, but Sporcle should at least make sure the apps aren’t making the app freeze to the point that I have to force quit it and restart the app to get out of the freeze.
