Love this game it only has one flaw. Way too many commercials!

Werbung

das Spiel macht Spaß,aber die Werbung ist so übertrieben,daher ist es leider nur nervig

Response from developer

Schön, dass dir das Spiel Spaß macht, und schade, dass die Werbung es so nervig macht. Sie hält Flashback Trivia kostenlos, sollte aber nicht übertreiben. Wer ohne Unterbrechung spielen möchte: Das VIP-Abo im Shop schaltet die Werbung ab, solange es aktiv ist. — Das Flashback Trivia-Team

Upset

Too many ads

More ads than trivia

5 ads in a 15 question round! That’s a hard no from me.

Response from developer

Five ads in one 15-question round is a lot to sit through, sorry it spoiled the game. The app is free and ads keep it running, but that many in one round isn't how it should feel, so we've passed your count to the team that handles ad pacing. VIP in the app removes ads if you'd rather play without them. — the Flashback Trivia team

Too many ads

Love this game but having an ad pop up when you are in the middle of questions is very annoying.

The best

I love the questions
They really my brain to think

Decade

Love playing this game, it’s so awesome to answer questions of my childhood and brings back so many memories of the past. It was absolutely awesome growing up in the 80’s. My all time favorite!!

The good old days

I watched most of the TV series growing up. I’m proud to know I can remember that far back. This is a fun game to test that.

Good game but….

The questions are fun. The ad frequency is way too much, you get ads as you play then you hit a wall where you can’t play anymore until you watch more adds. It’s deleted now.

Response from developer

Sorry the ads, plus the stop that asks for another ad before you can keep playing, drove you away. We've passed both to the team that handles ad timing. Glad the questions were fun, and if you ever give it another go, VIP in the shop removes the ads. — the Flashback Trivia team

Like all the other reviewers, too many ads

The game itself it great fun and I could actually play it for hours. And I would if the ads only appeared after each round. But the number of ads and their placement in this game is beyond ridiculous. And please, don’t give me the “ads keep the game free” spiel. Ads are how developers make money, which is completely fine! That being said, the number of ads in this game tells me the developers are greedy and don’t really care how many people delete the app. And that’s kinda sad.


Thank you for the response. Yes, the VIP option just confirmed my “greedy developers” assertion. $3.99 a week. . . . No game is worth paying over $200 a year to play.

Response from developer

Fair point, and no spiel: ads landing mid-round instead of after it is the part that grates, and your "only after each round" idea has gone to the team that handles ad timing. Glad the game itself is fun enough to play for hours. If you ever want zero ads, VIP in the shop turns them off while active. — the Flashback Trivia team

Adds

Adds too many would like to play the game more but I get bored with the add

Way too many ads!

The game is fun! Until an ad pops up. I understand that ads are significant to keep the app going but after EVERY question is ridiculous! The questions themselves are fun and a great trip down memory lane, but the multiple ads take away the fun of the game! Please, creators, fix this or you will lose multiple players.

Response from developer

You're right that an ad after every question is too much, and that isn't the spacing we intend. We've passed your report to the team that handles ad timing, who are looking at why ads sometimes come back to back. Thanks for the kind words about the questions! — the Flashback Trivia team

For that reason I’m deleting

The ads interrupting game play is horrible, they are not short ones then to get back to the game one has to hit the x way too many times. The cost of no ads is ridiculous $16-$20 per month. The game is good but not worth that.
