The app has a lot of polish. The only drawbacks is that the app has a ton of advertising to the point that it is very excessive. Additionally it is very slow to transition from question to question. Faster transitions would make it more enjoyable. It sounds petty but it's really slow. 3.5 stars. Less advertising and faster transitions would bring it up to five stars. I would LOVE to see a multiplayer version of this with less ads.
It's a fun quiz app, but sometimes the right answer is given in the picture, and there are some smaller details (like using 'Soviets' and 'Russians' interchangeably, for example), which grind my OCD. Also, the additional info that is displayed on right answers (and sometimes wrong ones) isn't always related to the question at all. What the app could really benefit from is some kind of 'endless' mode, because the ~180 questions just aren't enough.
A decent app for those looking to test their knowledge, but not one I recommend. The ad that played before even reaching the main menu was the first sign, because they certainly didn't stop. Every drop of satisfaction I get from answering correctly is immediately swept away by an unending flood of ads, sometimes as often as one every three questions. And, of course, if you run out of lives, that's another few to spin the wheel. Finished the game in the end, but currently wouldn't play again.
This game content as far as it goes is fine , questions are reasonably difficult however it is plagued with adverts . Like for real all they have here is an app that throws up words with a question mark behind it and then you choose out of 4 options. Is there really any need for a barrage of adverts? Also it's fine until you run out of lives then but then it doesn't regenerate very well either. I expect to just click on it and have more lives when I've not played for a while instead of having to manually spin the regenerator wheel or whatever .
Really like the app. I'm a history major (with a Master's Degree), but I got stumped a few times. Laughed when my wife answered 3-4 questions that I missed. Really like the varied level of content. Some easy things, but some tough ones as well. Should appeal to anyone interested in history, no matter what background. Please keep making quizzes. It's fun and challenging. And it teaches. Well done. I need to study more to not get stumped again. Masters Degree hahaha!.
The UI is excellent, the questions are equally great and I love the whole game. Only problem is there are too few questions and I wish you guys put more questions and make it into various levels. Like after passing easy level, you go to medium level and then hard and then Ultimately pro Historian level. I would love that. I also use your geography quiz app and I have the same grievance for that too. Please look into this dear developers.
Some of the questions are quite interesting, but they're a bit inconsistent -- some are historically important, and others are trivial. Likewise the "Fun Facts" given after a question vary widely in quality, from genuinely educational to downright irrelevant. The scoring system is also arbitrary, from getting 3 guesses for 4 options, on one hand, to having to spell an answer under a tight time limit -- it doesn't give you a sense of accomplishing much.
The first 20 minutes are great! But once you're out of lives, that's it. I thought lives would regenerate over time but no, you're dependent on some wheel of fortune that you can use once an hour. To usually get ONE life. So you can get 1 question wrong and wait again. Now, i was planning on playing this while on transit to work every morning but it's useless. Once a day i can do up to one mistake, unless i pay. And that is on top of lots of ads. It's nonsense, this is pure anti consumer!!
So as far as the questions, most are good, I am a big fan of history with relatively extensive knowledge of some time periods. I tend to get about 4 out of 5 questions correct. It is pretty fun. The ads are awful though. Some aren't too bad, but others, especially the ad for Facebook are way too long and difficult to clear from the screen. Plus I already have Facebook! Why advertise to me something I have already?
Ads! Hungry developers keep on putting ads every 20 secs. At least 4 ads in a minute. After every correct answer there is an ad. When the chances get over, you need to watch an ad to get just 1 chance!!!! It's so frustrating. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is that the questions are good and decent.
An ad after every question correct or not is too excessive. Sorry, aloha o'e. CB3
The app is great! I understand why there is a life system. I think its for you to not get addicted too much to the game and as well as for ads. I seriously would get addicted to this but bcause of the life system it helped me manage my time although it makes you crazy sometimes trying to wait for the time to finish to get more lives. Anyways i loved the added facts!
I love to increase my knowledge of history and guess what. This World history quiz has made a significant addition to my range of history. Omg I'm so happy to have it. It's an amazing quiz app. I get to see what's that I'm missing on and then I try to learn that too. It's a fun and knowledgeable app. My suggestion is to please remove the repetitions of quiz questions. They're not of value.
Absolutely terrible ads. The first half an hour where you have lives is fun but after that it becomes impossible to play without watching ads every minute to get lives. This is on top of the already constant barrage of ads when loading up the app and between questions. Don't download this.
A lot of the questions are good. But the transitions and ads between the questions really slow down the game play. I get that it's a "free" app, so you "pay" for it by watching ads. But this one is ad HEAVY.
Lobe the aop and the questions. There are also hints, which I barely use. But, the adds are overwhelming and discouraging to play again. You must watch all the ad before you move to the next questions.
Pleasant App but please reduce the ads
Full of invasive ads
Garbage; grammatical/spelling errors in almost every question, ridiculously inconsistent difficulty of questions, poor user interface, obtrusive ads (par for the course on free games obviously), dubious "lives" system to make more money off of people. Stay far away.
Overall a very informative and fun app. However, the lives feature is kinda problematic. If you run out of lives it can be an hour before you can play again (unless you pay to play of course). Also, a few questions have inaccuracies. One asked about "Which Ukrainian city had a nuclear disaster in 1986?" The Chernobyl exclusion zone has multiple cities within it, but the city closest to the plant is Pryp'yat. However the answer the game wants is 'Chernobyl' which is not untrue but inaccurate.
App is fun, except the fact that there are limited lives. So can't play for a long time. But since it has variety of questions , it's fun to play and update knowledge. I'm few questions away from the certificate and now IT'S NOT WORKING because it is unable to extract resources. So the concerned team , kindly work on it. Thank you.
It's a good app, I like the fun facts and the different problems. But, suggest that you take away the timed portion, specifically for the spelling out section. This is a learning app. I'd rather not get mad that I can't remember a scientist's first name in 20 seconds.
Overall its not a bad app but after almost every question you get adds when you start the app you sometimes get 15 sec adds and so on its literally unplayable due to adds over adds ... Gave it 2 chances with a lot of time in between and each time i deleted it after 1 or 2 days
it is a fun and at the same time informative app obviously but the getting hearts is what makes you wanna delete the app.. some ppl like myself is not priority to use my money to buy some lives over an app and watching ads over and over again makes the app just frustrating..i suggest use like any other app i've come across through.. like let the player wait an hour or half or even an hour and a half.. it is much better that way
I paid for the ad free version and while most ads are gone the app still contains 30 second ads. That's unethical! Ad free should mean AD FREE! I uninstalled the app and I feel cheated.
This is a great apps except for the life. It wasn't given directly to you after the time limit reached, but instead you have to see how lucky when the wheel stop. I manage to get only 1 life and i lost motivation.
When I select no sound in the app it means no sound. Your ads aren't an exception. And don't blame your ad provider. This is on you. Especially when there are more ads than questions.
The lives system makes this completely unplayable. You might have a good 20 minutes time if you're good at history but you will end up with 0 lives at some point and then you can basically unistall the game or have to wait one hour to get 1-3 lives and lose them in your first question.
I don't find the ads that bad, but the game is terrible. The questions are either truly universally nown facts, too specific obscure things and nothing in between. Some are actually news events from less than 20 years when the app launched, which means it can't even be considered history. And not using a keyboard in the written questions is terrible. At least add a delete button, if you made a typo you loss a live basically. Basically, a great idea poorly executed.
