Trivia Crack 2 Reviews

by Zambonidriver23

As a happy player of the original trivia crack (without ads!) for many years I forgot just how bad the ads are implemented. That’s why when I first booted up trivia crack 2 I was surprised at how intrusive they really are! “It won’t really matter though” I thought, as I planned to drop a few bucks to remove ads just like I did before. I was absolutely shocked to see that they are charging $40(!) a year as the SOLE option to remove ads. That’s insane! The developer has two options, either make ads much less intrusive where you aren’t forced to watch an ad for like 10-20 seconds after every turn (not to mention the constant banners), or actually sell the no ad upgrades for a reasonable price. I would HAPPILY drop $5 to remove ads, but I cannot and will not support the pure greed that is a $40 a year “membership” as the only way to get rid of ads. Coupled with the fact that the real improvements making the game noticeably more enjoyable than the original seem to be pretty scarce, and I think I will just be sticking to the original for now until they fix this problem, and I’m sure I won’t be the only one.

The title says it all. Even the developers know this is true. It isn’t really different at all from the first Trivia Crack. Except now be prepared to watch ads to literally do anything. I get it, it’s a free app and they make money with ad space, but this is excessive and I think it might be a reason why the game freezes up and crashes frequently (which is especially annoying when you're doing a real-time trivia match). Moreover, during a real-time battle where the whole point is to answer questions quickly, get ready to randomly sit through a 30 second ad as your time ticks away and your opponent shoots ahead. They removed the statistics function from the first trivia crack (probably because they got found out for having fake bot players for users to play against). You also can’t compare your rank with your friends to show off, which kills off some of the competitive feel. I played this game for a good while and got to about level 120 but the frequent app freezing and excessively ads UNNECESSARILY interfere with the game too much and I’m just over it. I love trivia and the idea behind the game, but I’m not gonna shell out monthly payments to simply not have annoying interferences.

This game is fun but it is a total rip off to have to pay to get more lives in order to play anymore games or to have to wait a long time to get another life. Plus the prices are a total rip off as well and the developers of this game are like stealing money from everyone and ripping everyone off just to get more lives in order to keep playing the game. It should be free, you should not have to pay anything. This happened to me when I first got this game and then when I saw how much money these robbers are trying to get everyone to pay for different amounts of lives to keep playing the game I just laughed and was like I don’t think so robbers. Shame on the developers of this game for ripping everyone off and stealing. The developers of Trivia crack game are very greedy, there ripping all of us off and all they care about is money from you. Trivia crack should not be charging you and ripping everyone off for running out of lives and having to buy more lives and games should be free and unlimited. Trivia crack 2 is now making you have to get tokens or whatever the freak it is to be able to invite friends, what a rip off. everything about trivia crack is about money or being limited or in some cases you have to collect or wait to play, that’s not a good fair game. being greedy and ripping us all off and stealing money from us all is not a good developer.

I was enjoying the game for a few hours. I had a few problems though, when playing the tower game, I would sometimes just get stuck after getting a question wrong on the question wrong screen with no option to continue, forcing me to restart TriviaCrack2 . The questions were fine, but some of the questions were designed to intentionally be trick questions and use clever wording to make you think it's another answer, and I don't think it should be like that. Some of the questions also had grammatical errors. Sometimes when playing the tower game, directions would be given to me in Spanish even though the rest of my game is English. The reason my review is so low is because I was playing a normal quick play game, and started getting spammed with a pop-up saying that an error occurred and that they would try to fix it soon. Even after restarting TriviaCrack2 , I am still getting spammed with this error therefore I can no longer even play the game as I cannot do anything but get rid of this message for .1 seconds till it comes back up.

I have encountered many questions like this one, but I recently answered this one so I can at least use it as a reference. The question asked, “Who spoke about the allegory of the cave?” The correct answer that TriviaCrack2 gave was Plato, but I checked Socrates and got it wrong. Now as any high school student knows, Plato recorded everything that Socrates did and said. The allegory of the cave was written down and published by Plato in his Republic. But the question was not, “who WROTE the allegory of the cave” but rather, “who SPOKE ABOUT the allegory of the cave” in which case either Glaucon or Socrates would have been correct, but certainly not Plato. This means that TriviaCrack2 is incorrect on this question and in many others, and the philosophy questions were written by someone who doesn’t know the difference between empiricism and rationalism. There are many such answers in TriviaCrack2, and I would not recommend it to anyone who knows something.

Also the 15-30 second adds during tower battle are the worst. Oftentimes TriviaCrack2 freezes in the middle of them anyway, and I am required to close TriviaCrack2 and open it up again to resume the tower battle. At this point there’s no point to play it.

I love the actual content of the game. The different game modes are fun and there are a lot of them to choose from. The questions are usually good. However, the game suffers from having WAY too many ads. I completely understand that the developers want to monetize the game through ads, that’s completely fine. But this game is completely jam packed with them! Alongside banners, there are ads every single time you exit a portion of the game (when you get a question wrong and lose your turn, when you win a game, when you exit back to the main menu). This gets old pretty quickly, especially when the ads are 30 seconds long and usually not skippable. Sure, you can swipe away from TriviaCrack2 , but that gets rid of any positive progress you made (winning, getting questions right, etc) and saves any negative progress you made (losing, getting a question wrong). I got extremely fed up with this when i started getting ads for no reason every 5 questions in the middle of a game.

I get the need to monetize the game. But I think the developers should either reduce the number of ads or at least offer a payment option to get rid of them (like was present in trivia crack 1)- a small payment rather than an expensive subscription. The excess ads cover up what is a really good game underneath.

I loved playing the original version. While I do enjoy the tower challenge, however, once I get a question wrong I have to sit through an ad. This can be quite frustrating as I am competing against someone else in a timed challenge. If I accidentally hit the ad and am taken to the ad store, it kicks me out of the tower challenge and takes me to a one-on-one challenge which I cannot leave without losing a life. Even on the one-on-one games there is yet another ad when a question is answered incorrectly. I understand that ads are a way for the makers to earn some extra money, but it is way overdone. I find myself wanting to just give up on the game because I am stuck watching more ads than I play the games. I also wish I didn’t lose a life after every incorrect answer because I will eventually get a wrong answer per each game played. It has great potential and is one of the best trivia games I have come across, but it also needs some tuning up.

by RavioliDave

So the ads are ridiculous. As soon as you open TriviaCrack2 it tries to sell you things within the game 4 times. Then when you finally get to play, there's an ad. If you pick the wrong answer, there's an ad. If you choose to watch an ad to try again, obviously there's one,but if you lose literally 3 seconds later there's an ad. If you manage to get every question right and win,there's an ad. The game is still trying to sell power ups and premium season passes and lives and chests and VIP wheels the whole time.

THEN all this monitization for questions that are fickle. There's no official screening before a question becomes used. I've come across completely wrong questions, vague ambiguous ones, questions that literally say "what is this" and it's a bad picture. Then you have misspellings in the answers which is just ridiculous.

The original was a good game. This one is absolutely annoying and intrusive.

I went into TriviaCrack2 excited because I enjoyed the original trivia crack app so much, and I thought this was going to be better. Boy was I let down. I don’t even care about the ads, I get they have to make money or whatever since it’s free, but TriviaCrack2 crashes at least once every time you open it. I will be in the middle of a round of questions and it crashes right in the middle of it. Just now, it probably went down at least 10 times but I stopped counting after about 4 because I was so annoyed. The worst is when it crashes in the middle of getting a crown- when you force close TriviaCrack2 and reopen it, click on your turn, and try to answer a question for a crown, it says “waiting”. However, you can’t click anything, so you have to forfeit your turn and lose a life while not getting a crown. Honestly, I’d give it 1.5 stars, but 2 will suffice. I haven’t deleted TriviaCrack2 yet but I might soon. I wouldn’t get it unless you have a lot of patience for technical problems. I wish you the best of luck on your trivia conquests!

Ads are a great way of making profit so you can keep that up but at least don’t spam it. When I don’t want to use another turn by watching and ad, I click cancel off the offer and then an ad appears. Either way, there are other negative things. One of the players I go against is my brother. He no longer plays. Notifications spam me one minute after another saying “——— did not answer a question correctly, answer now..” or something. It was annoying and absolutely crazy. Also the fact that when you win, you get a lot of trophies/coins and when you lose, you only lose a bit. Where is the just in that? Also, for a game for mostly young and older children/adults, I think there should be a question that is on a level that the player is on. How is a 10 year old, which I am not 10 but my brother is, supposedly be able to answer the element number of something like mercury in a few something seconds? This is just feedback.

I love this game so much, the trivia is so fun and I feel that I learn a lot. However there are two major problems I have with the game. 1. The Ads. There are way too many of them that after I play the game for a few minutes, I’ve already used at least half the amount of time watching ads. And then when you miss a question it says do you want to watch an ad to get a free pass to play again? Then when you choose no, you STILL have to watch an ad, you just get no benefit from it. It’s so annoying it makes me not want to play the game at all. 2. The fact that you get lives. I’ve never understood why game developers make this in their design bc it’s like, we want you to play our game for a while then force you to get off bc you’re out of lives. Like? I’d play and enjoy the game a lot more if I didn’t have a limit on how much I can be on TriviaCrack2 . It gets so annoying that eventually you stop getting on TriviaCrack2 altogether because you can’t play it when you want to all the time.

I do enjoy this game. It's fun to play with friends.
HOWEVER
The amount of pop ups when I load TriviaCrack2 or try to play is needlessly incessant. I hate it. I hate in the game the pop ups after I get a character, how it's offered to get double if I watch an ad or something. No, that's cheating, shut up and let me move on.
I also cannot stand that when the badge notifications are active for my phone, it *always* has a badge. Not always because a game is at my turn, on no, it's because I just *have* to do one of the things on the ridiculous home screen. I don't care about that stuff, and I'd like an option to not get notifications for it all.
I just want to play my silly trivia game with my friends to pass time, thanks. I don't need the rest of the annoying dings and whistles. I'm the kind of person I don't mind tossing a couple of dollars at a free game I spend a lot of time on and enjoy (when I have the extra cash), but after redownloading this a while back, I don't want to. It's always pushed in my face and I'm just annoyed.

I do like all three variations but from what I see the second one is by far the worst. The only addition/improvement is that there is a level system in addition to the biweekly ranking system. Other than that I, along with all of my friends an family who also have the game, notice a huge lack in effort by developers. This game screams “money grab” with its constant add role and countless “limited time only offers”. The four game modes is a supreme shortcoming from the first edition and listen to this gem of an idea… if you use up all 10 hearts which takes about 5-30 minutes you need to pay to play more. I’m only in high school and can tell 1 out of every 5 questions is wrong and it doesn’t give me the ability to notify them. The reason I’m writing this is bc the game told me the Berlin Wall was still up, and continued to kick me out of the match after I had just spent the previous 15 minutes trying to play after letting my lives recharge and watching about 6 adds. This is an example of what a player sees every time they log on.

I really like the game and its concepts, functionality, and payment system. Graphics and funny factor are a plus. That being said it has an extremely glaring issue of consistently giving wrong answers and information. Now listen I understand that I may be nit picky about certain questions, but other are so far false that it makes the game enraging. This is a prime example of how misinformation in this age can spread like wildfire on the internet. It is such a concern that some people may actually think they are learning trivia, when its some of the stupidest and wrong information out there, that I can not support this game. In addition, in an age where such mis information runs wild, I believe that we should do everything in our power to make it known that this game spreads complete an utter bs.

This is especially a concern for me with history, as an avid lover of history and expert, it concerns me greatly that this game seeks to revise history when it has such large reach. I do not expect complete accuracy but the level of ridiculous answers is outrageous frankly, and should definitely be looked into.

So I downloaded Trivia Crack 2 a long time ago and I used to suffer with ads but now I don’t since Apple has the whole new app tracking now. (I would recommend having Trivia Crack 2 not track you. I now don’t get so many ads.) The problem with Trivia Crack 2 is that the game has glitches and it crashes. (May I add I have a fairly new iPhone. The iPhone XS.) I think the reason why is simply the fact that there is too much on TriviaCrack2 . I just want to answer the trivia questions which is the way it used to be but now they have all this extra stuff which gets in the way. Literally when I open up TriviaCrack2 I am greeted with 7 pop-ups. I also wish that I could make my account to where I only play with the people I want to play with. I always have all of these people who I don’t even know. I’m not trying to play the game with strangers I’m trying to play the game with my family. The glitch is resolved temporarily when I delete and install TriviaCrack2 again but key words TEMPORARILY and the problem happens all over again! Please fix Trivia Crack 2 developers!

by Raddogme

I like the game. I’ve never played the first game but the formula seems to be the same. Not only is this game fun but it also feeds you knowledge that you might have not known. However, I don’t appreciate having so many ads thrown at me whenever I try to play. It’s unnecessary and makes the games a lot longer than they should be. I only started playing so I hope I can learn to ignore it, but for now it is a big nuisance. I also don’t like how inconsistent the questions are. You don’t know if you’re going to get a hard or easy question, which can make the game seem really unfair. There should be an option to select a difficulty setting. Lastly, my game is constantly freezing or losing connection. I don’t know if it’s just my internet, or if it’s the game itself, but it’s just another annoyance that drags down this game’s ratings. Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you can try and fix these problems in the future.

Well number one on why it is not that great is because the ads are terrible!!! Why in the world would you have ads in Tower Duel!! They are sooooo repetitive as well it’s very VERY annoying!! We have a time limit, why put a time limit if your going to take away our time anyway... just do the ads before and/or After!
Number two... I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not it’s just that I cannot change my name which I thought would happen seeing as this is supposed to be an upgraded version not the same with some new game modes... I’m sadly disappointed...
I’ll probably find something else but number three, I understand that you have to have a limit on how many people could be a group/clan thing, and I know 50 is a lot, but if you could push up the number to 55 or 60 it would be nice, I don’t want the game to glitch so if it would make the game glitch to push up the number, don’t I enjoy this game just some of the features annoy me.
Once again please lessen the amount of ads in tower duel, please add something to where you could make a nickname/Username, lastly please ( if you could) amp up the amount of people that could be in a clan/group.

Thanks for listening and reading my ideas and taking them into consideration!
Sincerely,
A loyal fan wanting the game to improve.

So at first when I downloaded TriviaCrack2 I was super excited and really liked it. But as I continue to try to do the daily challenges I become more and more frustrated. There are questions that have completely wrong answers but you can’t flag them because as soon as you get it wrong (by selecting the CORRECT answer), there is a pop up and if you just close it out it gives you your percentage of “right” answers. It doesn’t let you actually flag the question as having an incorrect answer. On the same side of the coin there are questions in the daily challenges that have answers that are so long, wordy, and grammatically incorrect that you just have to pick one before time runs out not knowing if you picked the right answer. Again just frustrating, I understand they are supposed to be rapid fire questions, but there should still be away to “report questions” like you can in the first one so more people don’t get frustrated and just delete TriviaCrack2 and spread the word that a trivia game has incorrect answers and no way for players to try and fix them.

by Shhh_Nobody_Cares

Please allow for reporting a question on Mystery Door and other modes besides classic as well. “What battle took place during the Civil War?” The supposed correct answer was “Bay of Pigs” which was a about a hundred years later and a completely different situation. “Who was the first US treasury secretary?” Pretty sure it was Alexander Hamilton not Thomas Jefferson. Those are just a couple of examples but again you can’t report them on any feature besides classic play.

Also, bring back the feature that allows user to review and submit questions, please! I feel that if they were more peer reviewed the overall challenge of the game would improve. There are, after all, a lot of questions that are repetitive just worded a bit differently. Also, drop the baiting after an incorrect answer. By that I refer to when a user answers a question incorrectly you then display the next question that is very simple; for an example I’ll use “What’s 2+2?” And the user can spend 150 gold bars (for the first redo, it goes up every time) to answer it. It feels like a slap in the face and an obvious money grab.

A Player Stats feature would be brilliant as well.

All the same Trivia Crack is one of the better trivia game available today. However it could be the best with some work.

by Cowgirl At Heart 2018

TriviaCrack2 is great, but definitely has a few bugs. It freezes all the time, but I don’t ever get any ads. This is great, though I can’t spin the wheel of luck or whatever it’s called. I contacted Apple about this, but it has nothing to do with my device. When I try to multitask within TriviaCrack2 it shuts me out, and I have to restart it. I am furious with Th is as it has caused me to lose matches. This is NOT the first review I’ve put out here, and if this issue is not fixed, I will continue to add these. Five star app if not for the bugs. Great background, questions, etc. but again, it’s kinda hard to enjoy TriviaCrack2 if it won’t let me play for 5 minutes at a time.

by Cat If Deth

This is actually almost the best game ever besides Gacha Life, And please add a, (thinking of the words to use for this sentence) Level of hardness, but if the quiz thingy is based on a book you like you should be able to pick the book (or movie) you have the most knowledge in, because I love the Twilight saga, but I’ve only made it to Eclipce almost to New Moon, And the game gives me spoilers, and I want to enjoy my spoiler free life, but please, give me and other people the opportunity to pick the book you have the most knowledge in or if it’s a book you like and haven’t made it all the way through, you don’t get spoilers. Thank you for reading this and hopefully you understand what I’m trying to say, Cat the Vampire.
