Please read this
It is very fun very active. I love the game so much but the reason I’m giving it one star is because. Done a review twice no one has responded. No one has tried to fix it so I will tell you the problem. Try again and no matter how many times I click on it. It says that please fix this where you will keep getting. Reviews sorry if I need to talk with friends talk with family hopefully read this. Thank you.
The App No Longer Works
I used to love this game, the app was reliable and worked great for years. However, after updating my Iphone, this app is not compatible with the newest version of IOS and it won’t even open.
I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my phone, cleared out space for more storage several times for weeks now and it still doesn’t work.

Non-stop ads
WAY too many ads
Not getting my promised benefits
I upgraded to prime and I'm still getting ads?!
Non-stop ads
I’m not kidding, they are every 15 seconds. Shame, used to be such a fun game.
Energy???
I’ve been playing the no add version of this game for well over 10 years and enjoying it. Until now. I guess it’s a money grab thing, but now I can’t play unless I pay for energy lives. Ridiculous. You have effectively ruined the game. Watch what happens now as we choose a different trivia game to play. Smart choice on your part. U
ADS ADS ADS
I had this game for all of 5 minutes before I deleted it. So many freaking ads!!
Unplayable
Way too many ads
Way to many ads
Constant 30 seconds ads
Very infuriating
I used to love playing this game. It’s been 6 years since I’ve played and I decided to redownload it again. Instead of picking up where I left off, I wanted to start over with a new account. This app makes that IMPOSSIBLE. There’s no way to sign out. There’s no way to delete your account except by emailing the company. Then, when they do delete the account, there’s no way to sign in or create a new one. I’ve deleted the app over and over and turned my phone off and back on several times and redownloaded the app, and I still get the same error message “something went wrong. Try again.” It’s such a shame because I really enjoyed this game years ago. Guess I’ll have to find a different trivia game to play.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
What an absolute scam of a game. I used to play this game in high school and just re-downloaded it, worst game I’ve played in a long time. Constant ads after every single turn. Trash game, do not waste your time. And the round didn’t even let us finish before declaring a winner with 5/6 characters.
So annoying
The ads are ridiculous. Makes the game unplayable.
SO BAD
this game is literally unplayable so many pop up ads and the ui is so confusing you’re not making your app accessible to anyone i deleted it because i couldn’t even get in a single game without something blowing up in my face. it’s a shame because this used to be a good app. BAD!
I miss the old version
I really liked the old version of this game. It was called 1.0 and now I can’t play it anymore. I really want to play it again. 😔
Hate the Energy
The whole energy system makes this game unplayable. I used to love playing but now I hardly get to take my turn because I’m always out of energy and they take an hour to recharge just one.
Ads. More ads. Then more ads.
We get it. Everything has ads to help pay for the cost of upkeep….but the level you have it on is insane. It’s more ads than gameplay and I’m confused who decided that was the best way to keep people playing. Be real.
Don’t bother
I can handle a couple glitches but once a ad was added when I was trying to answer and then ran me out of time, thought the ad was for after you lose? So don’t bother
Glitches
Idk if this is happening to anyone else but occasionally, or more accurately frequently the game will automatically select the wrong answer and I’ll lose my turn. It’s infuriating. FIX YOUR STUPID APP
Sucks
Game used to be so good.
Now they are too worried about their bottom line.

SOOOO MANY ADS
Used to absolutely love this game as a kid, redownloaded it and it’s basically unplayable with all the super long ads
ads
why so many ads it’s horrible everytime you get a questions wrong, everytime a new game starts it’s just everywhere i was sick of playing this after just 1 round.
Are we serious with these ads
No exaggeration, if you don’t pay for this you have to deal with ad that doesn’t go away for 20+ seconds after maybe 3-4 questions. Truly a preposterous amount of ads
Why
Get rid of the ads
Not bad but wayyy to many ads
The game is good how it is built and the idea behind it is simple aswell. But the ads are insane… there is way to many I awnser a question wrong and there is an ad, if I get a few right then boom and ad. There is seriously a problem with the amount of ads. Make it unenjoyable. FIX IT
Charging for “Energy”
I’ve been playing this game for several years. They have always made it free to play the classic game. Now they want you to join Prime for $4.99 a month to have unlimited “Energy” - which means the ability to play classic games.
They make a lot of money off of the ads but now that’s not enough. They want long time players and supporters to add to their greed. They’re losing this support.

SO MANY ADS
oh my god there is an actually unimaginable amount of looooooong ads that literally makes this unplayable for me
Ads make it unplayable
Used to be truly great. The sheer amount and length of ads makes it unplayable. Multiple ads per round, and when playing trivia it’s every 5 questions. The ads freeze and glitch all the time, too. It’s basically unusable
Stay away
This developer will have you pay up to play so you might as week get used to the fact that this is a subscription based app. It also always changes with the interface gradually getting worse.
Don’t waste your time.
Don’t waste your time.
Unplayable too many ads
I don’t understand the greed of having an ad after every damn game …. Deleted.. you get to play a 10 sec game and have to sit through a 60 s ad after each round is insane …
This needs to be fixed
The game just stops letting you log in after a month it’s ridiculous like get your game tg
Adds
Way too many adds. It asks me to watch an add to answer another question or to not watch an add. When I say no add it makes me watch an add. This is every minute.
Adds
Way too many adds, and too long. Just in it to make money.
Literally unplayable because of ads
The ads are absolutely insane. It feels dirty and degrading to experience this many ads. I’m actually in disbelief at how bad it is. I never write reviews.
Try another one
Terrible. If you want to spend 5 minutes clicking away endless offers selling you in game cheats tthen this games for you.
Latest update is just a money grab
I’ve played Trivia Crack for years, but the latest update is just a money grab with a new edition of energy requirements to play a game. I guess it’ll free up more time for me to go do other things.
Ads ads ads following easy questions.
Insanely easy questions followed by ads you can’t close. Couldn’t ever link up with my friend to play live together. Don’t bother
Fun until it’s not
It’s pretty fun and you can start a lot of games, but then you can’t finish them because you run out of energy. It takes forever to gain it back and then they ask you to pay for unlimited energy.
There is also an ad after every missed question, which isn’t too big of a deal when you can just exit the game and jump back in, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t play because you have no energy.
Overall, it was fun for the first 30 minutes and then I deleted it because it’s locked behind a paywall.

Game won’t open
Hello??? Game won’t open or load !!! HELP
Charges are insane
I paid for no ads and have had no problem since now they are charging for “energy” so you can play. Pay for each game you play outrageous
Wow This is Garbage Now
I used to play this game in high school and reconnected with one of my friends who wanted to play again. Holy cow. This app is slammed with ads and the likes. It is terrible to try and play through. Don’t bother with it anymore. Go find a different trivia game or go outside. There won’t be several thousand ads out there.
Ads
Non stop unstoppable ads. Not playing anymore me and my wife.
Stupid “game”
I played this years ago and it was normal but I just downloaded it again and it’s nothing like the old one. I can’t even begin to explain because so much has changed for the worse. And seeing how the owners respond to others problems is concerning and gross, like the girl saying how old men were sending messages on there to her who was clearly a child.. and the owners response is gross. I deleted the app. Ew. Oh, and years ago, the app had ZERO ads. Now you can’t play without seeing at least 10. Greedy ********.
Ad central
145 ads within the first 3 minutes of downloading, no thanks
King of pop up ads
I didn’t know it was possible for an app to have this many pop-up ads. And these aren’t your average pop-up ad… they are far worse than you ever imagined.
Ads
Too many Ads
AI Slop
Gotta love the new AI videos explaining the basic trivia questions i just got right. Unnecessary and bad. Trivia question for the developers, how much power and water did developing your bad AI videos take?
Porn found while my child was playing it!
I was playing a trivia round with my daughter and adds on the bottom with porn appeared. Absolutely disgusting. It feels planned. No way they didn’t know. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN NEAR THIS DISGUSTING APP!
Disappointed in their development.
I remember playing trivia crack years ago and loving the game, playing against friends. I decided to redownload trivia crack out of nostalgia, and a love for trivia. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when not even a full minute into having downloaded the app, I’m confronted with ai generated content from the developers. Why in the world would you add this? There was no need. It cheapens the experience, whereas before you had a clean user interface, clearly lovingly crafted. This is a disgrace. You’ve ruined fond memories of your game, and instead I am left disappointed with slop. Do better. Take it out. The ai videos are unnecessary, it makes your users feel like they’re being condescended to. They add nothing to the experience except for a clear desperate attempt to appeal with new technology, it’s lazy, sloppy, and a disgrace to the legacy of this once community building game. Shame on you.
You can’t exit the ads making this game unplayable
It actually was really engaging. Wish you picked shorter ads or ads you can eventually exit
