Used to be better
When I first downloaded this app it was awesome. You could subscribe for extra quizzes and the like but there were daily free trivia (like 2 or 3 a day if I remember correctly). Now there’s ONE free quiz and I’ve done it so I don’t want to play it again so the app is basically useless unless they update the format. The price point is too high for me to want to subscribe for a trivia game.

I love this app!!
I came across while looking for ways to entertain my bf and I on a long road trip. Wasn’t expecting anything good, just something to pass time. A few minutes in and I happily paid for a subscription, something I rarely ever do! This app is so fun and great, I can’t recommend it enough!
This is a rip off and I am going to go up the ladder until I get my $50 back
I was told that I would get a week subscription for a cheap amount (I don’t remember the price) so I subscribed for my niece to have fun while driving and while we were listening and trying to play along, nothing would happen and the audio was horrible. It kept going on and out. Then this morning, I see that my card was charged $50. I only subscribed last night. It hasn’t even been 24 hours. What happened to the trial period?

So many problems
Ok, the idea that they were going for in this game, truly could have taken off, and yes although it does work, I would like to see a lot of changes. For starters, it should not cost near as much as it does. The daily challenges are not near long enough, and surely not worth $10 a month. Second of all, the game itself it super laggy, and half the time, did not even pick up my answers. Not to mention that the hosts became much too talkative. It no longer felt like a trivia game, but like a talk show. Don’t recommend.

I like it! Road trip version?
I like this app! I’m always for learning new things and random facts! I have one question, does this keep going and going if let’s say a person were to drive for 7 hours in the car? If not I think it would be great if it could give us questions from previous days, just keep getting questions from days that we missed or in the past because I can see how this can be used as a good road trip game! 😄
Also, could you make an offline version? I’ve played this a few times now and it’s lost connection once I leave my WiFi area. And I can’t exactly stop driving and reconnect, and I don’t like to check my phone while driving either. Thank you! :)

Love it!!!
Update: I’m so bummed that they ended Drivetime Daily Trivia. I loved it. I’ve kept my subscription a little while so I can go back and play older episodes I’ve missed until I run out, but since they stopped new episodes the app is plagued with glitches. 75% of the time I can’t download the episodes I’m trying to.
I love Drivetime! It takes my mind off the commute and I’m learning so much random information. My BF is tired of me saying “on Drivetime today I heard...” I don’t have a consistent M-F commute. I got the premium so I can play episodes on the weekend from days I missed during the week. Well worth the price and I am a cheapskate.

Until recently it was the best app out there
I LOVED Drivetime. Fun trivia games you can play by voice in the car? What’s not to love. The hosts grew on me and the quizzes were creative and just challenging enough to keep my interest. I actually signed up for the subscription to play the older games. Then... all the daily quizzes just stopped. The hosts all have gone away and they keep promoting a way to “listen to music” instead of trivia. It’s a shame because during COVID, some trivia would have been a nice way to spend some time. I’ve cancelled my subscription, but will fondly think back to the app that this used to be. Huge disappointment

DriveTime Trivia is a “Game” Changer!
First started playing on a long car trip and our family is completely addicted. We play as often as we can and frequently find ourselves taking an extra lap or two through the neighborhood to squeeze in the last few questions. Fun, entertaining and a MUST for any Trivia lover.
Fun for Long Drives But Buggy
I downloaded this app because I tend to get bored on my hour commutes and I already like listening to trivia. I love the games and the snippets but don’t play to use this app if your drive will take you anywhere rural or where your service will go to anything below 4 bars. You could be screaming directly into the microphone and the app won’t pick it up. It’s very sensitive to this and will go out on a big highway in the middle of the city too. The creators seem to know this though because it says “you may have lost signal” and repeats the question instead of marking you wrong but it’s still frustrating. The app also doesn’t work as harmoniously with Apple CarPlay as you would hope. The creators must also know this because they have a prompt for that too. The content is currently a little bit on the slim side for its monthly price tag but it does look like they’re actively working to add more.
Unexpected plus side - I would say this app would be great for people that are blind/cannot use apps and games that rely on visual cues only. It seems like it’s very accessible with its voice prompts.
TL/DR: great idea but needs to be improved upon for its price tag.

Fun App, Needs Improvement
I’ve had this app for a few days and have enjoyed it with a few caveats. While it’s fun to play, poor service on the road means it cuts in and out; I wish there was a download option for the quizzes to avoid this issue. Also, I find myself annoyed at how slowly the quizmaster speaks, it would be awesome if the app user had the ability to adjust the track speed—similar to that in a podcast app.

Awesome App
Really well done app. My commute is over one hour each way and playing DriveTime and Jeopardy really make the drive go by faster. I actually look forward to the long drive to work in the mornings. I occasionally run into some cellular dead spots and the game has to pause for a few minutes but it’s not too often and it is really not the app’s fault, I suppose, so if you have really poor reception on your phone, you might get a little frustrated. Me, I highly recommend it.

Home office commute!
Drive time keeps me sane, now working at home has a clear destination and path to follow.
I used to commute into work and listen to Drivetime, then Coronavirus hit. I needed to realign life to working at home. It was hard to get started. So I followed some recommendations to clearly delineate my work time at home from just ‘being home.’
Drivetime is my commute app, it’s what sets apart my home office (that does not have doors) apart from my home.

Fun for all
I love playing this while driving with friends & family. The only thing that could make it better would be during tunetime or questions about songs would be if the actual singers sang them. Other than that it’s a great app and a lot of fun. The cost is a little steep. Worth it if you spend quite a bit of time on your drive though.

I love Drivetime!
This is my favorite app that I use daily. I get a big kick out of hands free trivia. The hosts are very funny and say interesting facts between questions. The 3 free daily quizzes take about 25 or 30 minutes and you can pause/stop or start as much as you want. This makes me reAlly enjoy my commute. A big thank you to Melissa, Liam, Allison and all the producers of this show!

Great fun!
If you told me 6 months ago I would be excited to pay $50 for an app I would have said you were crazy,but as soon as taxes come back I’m doing just that! I love the quizzes & cant wait to be able to do past episodes.... a bunch of different games to play AND I haven’t gotten sleepy driving at all while playing (for me that’s a huge thing) LOVE IT

Sometimes doesn’t hear the right answers
We answered a simple question correctly ‘donuts’ was the answer and it said we got it wrong and the answer was donuts. We ended up loosing instead of being tied at the end, it was an open ended question. There should be a review process where they repeat your answer back at you to confirm it heard correctly. This is frustrating to hear them say your answer after telling you it was incorrect :(

Oh Nuts! We hate when that happens. That is a great feature idea! While we sort out how to make it into a reality know that anytime you have a voice recognition issue on a critical question you can always email Support@drivetime.fm and we can update your score. That way you can keep your spot on the leaderboard. Thanks for taking the time to write in and let us know how to improve.
Great game for my commute
I got tired of listening to music during my commute and was looking for something to wake up and engage my brain in the morning. DriveTime is the perfect way to start my day with some new trivia facts, some fun banter between the hosts, as well as a little competition with other commuters on the road! Thank you for this amazing game...it’s made my commute actually enjoyable!

Great app!
I absolutely love this app! I use it all the time! In the car, while cleaning, and at work. I love the daily trivia because they do a great job at explaining the back story to the questions and why that was the answer. I’ve learned so much off of the daily shows! I don’t even listen to music anymore in my car because I would rather play this game, makes me look forward to my commute. Highly recommend!!

Not as angry in rush hour traffic!
I love this app! I wish the premium wasn’t as expensive as it is but I do understand you are getting a lot of bang for your buck given all the extras you get. The daily free trivia usually takes me through the worst of my 50-55 min commute so I’m happy with the free version for sure. I 💙 the hosts because they make me laugh and make the ride far more enjoyable. Just consider me a Drivetimer for life!

No more drunk swerving
Ok so I’m not a drunk driver but you ever see that person that just for a second swerves to the side of the road? The person that your thinking oh hey there must be something in the road? Yah that’s me. Touching my phone for any reason. This game has helped me keep my hands off my phone so much! And I can still play while my gps is up! I absolutely love this app and most definitely the drive time daily quiz. Those two are so peppy that it rubs off on me and I can’t be grumpy... even when I’ve forgotten my coffee! 😲
