They restrict you from playing with “energy”.
This game used to be fun but they just keep pushing you to spend money after you already purchased the No Ads version. There is this energy you have to use to play and when you run out, it takes forever to just receive 1 energy. Unbelievable. You are able to have a pet but are unable to feed it because it requires more and more cookies that are almost impossible to get and collect. Ridiculous. I paid to have another pet then lost it when I couldn’t even afford to feed it cookies. What a scam! Just took my money to then lose what i paid for. How about make the pet able to be fed when purchased with coins which is what we mostly receive. You can only buy cookies with tickets which are hard to come by. Game needs to be updated!!! Horrible like everyone else says.
It was good ☹️
I’ve been playing this game for many years. The last couple rounds of changes are horrific. Time to find a new trivia game.
Money Grab
I have played for years and purchased the No Ads version yet I am constantly bombarded with in-app ads for their Prime mode, Sunken treasure and now some hammer thing. The constant changes don’t help the app they just make it more frustrating. Sad that what was a great “Trivia” game has turned into a money grab!
Use to be good
I use to love this game but the new energy system on the premium game is too restrictive. It takes forever to recharge. I already purchased this game, while I enjoyed it enough to pay a small subscription price for unlimited energy the $5 a month fee is too much
Ruined
I’m a long time Trivia Crack player and I have loved this game and played it in all different incarnations. The game has recently been ruined because they have introduced an energy. Portion where you’re unable to play unless you have pay five dollars a month. It’s a real shame.
Why ruin a good thing
Greed…
Prime feature needs to go away
Like most of the other recent reviewers, I have played this game for many years. I have seen many changes and updates, some good and some bad. But I’ve always stuck with it and enjoyed it. However this update where you either have to pay a ridiculous fee for unlimited play, or else have to wait an hour to be able to play 1 game, is ridiculous. If it doesn’t go away asap, then I will be deleting the app.
Energy
What’s with the new energy bar? If you don’t get rid of it I’m done with this game! I’ve played this game for years!!!
Not a fan of prime updates
I have played, daily, for years and purchased the premium app and additionally purchase “endless lives”, but now that they are selling Prime for $4.99 a month, it’s limiting me to a handful of plays or telling me to pay for prime or use 25 tickets to buy an hour of play. It says I can “restore” endless lives, but endless lives was working fine until yesterday and now it won’t let me “restore” that purchase even though I click on restore. When I contacted support with a screen shot showing that U had in fact purchased endless lives, they responded by saying they cannot locate such a purchase was ever made and the restore button will be disappearing for all users soon. They offered me 24 hours of “free energy” hoping it holds me over until I get used to the new system. Right? Because I’m just going to get over it in one day that you want me to pay a subscription fee for something I already paid for? I will stop playing entirely before I pay a monthly fee for to play when I already paid for endless lives and that they deny the purchase even with a screen shot on their own app.
Ridiculous
I paid for no ads. I’ve enjoyed this game. I’m done with it due to the new “energy” feature. Unable to play my games now unless I sign up for a free trial. No explanation of how the energy works just sign up or you’re locked out and then we’ll gig you for more money. DONE!!
Disappointed
I’m disappointed you changed the game play, now I need to purchase energy. It was a great game.
Why change the format??
I have been playing for many many years and I think I paid for the ad free version and now I have to wait until I get energy or lightning bolts to play a match?? This is ridiculous
Just awful now. Unbearable!
I have had this app for years and it only takes me one game to remember why I barely play it. I paid for the ad free version but it is anything BUT ad free. The difference is I’m not seeing third party ads. I still get flooded with ads about their sales for their coins and all that. Then they went and changed everything and now you don’t get free spins anymore. To the developers, you have officially ruined this game to the point that I’m deleting it. Your app is just not worth the storage anymore.
Updates are awful
This game just got worse. Now I paid for the game years ago to have premium. I didn’t buy this app for a dating app. Why did they allow follows or chats when you aren’t playing a game. It’s nothing but more than spammers trying to get you and scam you. And these features don’t have a way of turning them off. What happens when my teenage nephew decides to play the game on my phone. Awful. I had rated the app 5 stars but nope. This update needs reversed no one should be able to follow you or chats with you outside game play. You need to be able to block this asinine chat and follow feature. Ridiculous.
heavily uses ai generated content
first of all SUPPORT YOUR ARTISTS second of all the ai generated images and videos yall use just makes the app look cheap and not quality, i used to play this app alot but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Creepy messages
Please take the following option away! I’m so sick of multiple creepy messages from men looking for a hookup. This is supposed to be for playing trivia not a dating app!
Don’t like the new update
I’ve been playing Trivia Crack quite often for a very long time. I don’t like the latest two updates with the layout. It’s confusing. Can’t barely see the words on the main menu, they are tiny. Please return back to the previous graphics or allow us to choose.
SAFETY and SECURITY mean nothing to them!!
You cannot remove or block followers! An ENORMOUS safety concern! I also have a set of known-to-me-in-real-life friends that I play with, but the game continually sends me new games from strangers. Earlier versions allowed you to turn that off, but that disappeared with a recent update. With each so-called update the game gets worse! Safety features are ignored while social features are increased! It’s also become a data hog with so many annoying and childish animations! I paid for this app and regret it!
paid version has tons of pop ups
it’ll ask you every few minutes if you want to write a review. also do not purchase anything. you get no bang for your buck at all.
Add
I paid $6.99 for no ads, STILL GETTING ADS.
Make the free game unusable to make users pay!
Instead of making an app worth $10.99, they bombard you with ads to force you to buy this to have a normal game experience. What a business model!
Was fun but getting worse steadily
This was a good game But the more I played the more forced pops and ways to spend more, give them more money - and other things make this App a waste of time.
Their website is useless too. No help there on troubleshooting.

So many pop-ups, makes the game annoying to play.
Title says it all. After every question, you get like 2-5 pop-ups asking you to buy something or to use some tokens to extend your play. It gets so annoying. It makes the game really miserable to play. This is the ad-free version too. I feel bad for people who have the ad version. Would not recommend this game to anyone until they fix this.
Annoying adds
Sick of this game asking for a rating every time I win a game.
Keeps crashing
I like this game until the last so-called update! Now during the game play, it will almost always go to a fully white screen that never gets back to the game and freezes there! 😡
Latest “update”
Please put it back the way it was. The latest update slows everything down. If you don’t get everything in your category, then it just carries over to the next day. Not everybody likes to play all the different categories. Like tug-of-war and pick duel. I don’t like having to be forced to play things I don’t like and if I don’t play them, they don’t go away
Questions get way too hard
These questions get ridiculously hard after playing for like a week. Idk if something was invented in 1919 or 1920. It’s stupid and no fun
Hearts
Refund money for unlimited lives!
App says to check my internet connection
Can’t get the app to load it instantly has a pop up that says check my internet connection. My internet connection works just fine considering I can open other apps just fine that rely on WiFi. Please fix this as there is a problem. Thank you.
1 Badge icon won’t go away
No games, rewards, anything going on, badge icon won’t go away. I signed out of TC, deleted the app, restarted phone, downloaded app again, badge icon is stuck on app icon, not even signed into TC. UPDATE has a badge icon glitch.
Wildcards Broke Answering
Ever since the new wild cards were added to the app, I have encountered a bug where questions randomly get answered when I did not make a selection. I will pick a category, the question will pop up, a wild card is eliminated, and an additional answer is selected, even though my fingers are not even touching the screen. Sometimes it’s the correct answer, but usually it is wrong, ending my turn. This happens at random, but seems to occur in clusters. I’ll answer several questions in a row with no issue, then see this bug happen two or three times in succession.
Stacy
Worked great on my Apple watch until new OS update. When I click on play on my watch it will give you the categories but doesn't stay it will go back and forth and I have to exit out and go back again and sometime when I click a category and the multiple choice answers come up they all say LABEL. Click on play and goes to the screen with different characters and goes back to page before does not stay to let me click on choices.Very frustrating please fix.
Trivia Crack is not playable
Whenever I try to play the game or tap on a match, it won’t open. Can you please fix it within the next 30 minutes? I’m getting frustrated. I’m gonna delete the app. I don’t know what to do.
Catastrophic failure
The program locks up every time I try to select an answer. Deleting and reloading doesn’t work. I really enjoyed the game, but will have to find another provider.
BUGGY
How has this game been out for YEARS and yet still buggy, just paid 10$ for the no ads (and that’s a problem In itself) but 10$ for it to not know what game was made and when my turn is, on top of telling me I won a match with it being 0-0 and matches that I made not allowing me to play. Its been years for you guys to perfect everything and it seems as the years go buy it’s more shifted to a money grabbing scheme rather than quality.
Trailer park casino in desguies
A mediocre app, I'm surprised by the current rating... a waste of time and money.
Trivia Store
Too expensive! Game rewards are no longer adequate and the cost benefit is way out of balance.
Actively Ruining Game
This game has been on my phone for over a decade at this point, but I barely want to play anymore after the last year of updates. Constant popups for TikTok like game modes, paid power ups, and their new subscription service are sucking the life and fun out of what used to be the best trivia app around.
disappointed in changes
no longer able to see the status of questions we’ve written. annoying popups and limitations to starting new games. gonna use different trivia apps because of these changes.
Issues with Prime
I do NOT want to do the Prime, or try the Prime, and it will not allow me to play my games without agreeing to try the 3-day trial. Several of my games have been forfeited because I keep trying to give it time to let me get back in without having to try the free trial. It has the option to say “no thanks” but it doesn’t move on and let me keep playing my games! It just repeatedly keeps saying that I have to try the free trial. Someone needs to go in and fix this. I’m not going to continue playing this game if everything is going to be charging to play.
Not So Prime
I’ve come back to this app after being away for a while and was enjoying it despite the cash grab aspect. Now with the addition of Prime, it’s yet another Pay to Play aspect that will force me to leave the app once again.
New update
I have been playing this game for over 15 years and now u make it a subscription game, that isnt fair!!! Now there are certain things u cant do without paying for the subscription. I didnt comment when u did all the other updates but i am now. If u have been playing this game for a certain amount of time we should be grandfathered into the subscription.
Prime required?
I can no longer play Fortune Wheel without joining Prime for $4.99 a month.
This is very disappointing and I hope Etermax will soon fix it.

I Miss The Old Version
I took a break from this game because I was addicted. I came back and now it’s super difficult to find the games I love. I’ve been playing for 20 minutes and have already had duplicate questions. Plus I’d say 70% of the questions are ridiculously easy. Like they show me a picture of a banjo and ask what instrument it is. I just left the topics game because I reached 100 correct answers. Not a flex. Just saying the questions are stupid easy and repeated multiple times. Like it’s Trivia Crack for kindergarteners. I don’t need the bells and whistles and the videos. Just simple game play is what made this game so fun. It used to be a challenge but now it’s boring and lame :’(
Where’s the Games We Love?
Been playing for years but the latest update leaves me confused? Where’s survival? Where’s survival arena? Please help. I’ll check back and when it is fixed I’ll reload. Really miss this game.
What did you do to the UI
Its actually abysmal now why change it.
Leave it alone!
For the love of God would you stop changing the home screen of the game? This used to be one of my favorite games. Now I’m considering deleting it. It’s not fun anymore. Why are you trying to make it a social media app? I just want to play trivia. I don’t need creepy messages from strangers. We have enough apps for that.
Layout
I can’t stand the new layout nor does my wife. It’s hard to find anything we were used to for years.
Problem with trivia crack
One game breaks a lot
POWER UPS & ALBUM TO GET YOUR COINS STOPPED WORKING!
I've been playing for years! Never have I seen this games have so many glitches! I've emailed support 3 times. They say they are working on it. Doesn't seem like they are. What a joke!
