So I believe a little bit more effort would have helped this game be a hit ### 3/5 — Science quiz *2024-01-12, version 2.11* You need to fix your backgrounds! Some of them are so dark that it is impossible to read the questions. It is a very good educational app otherwise. ### 3/5 — Pretty easy *2023-06-24, version 2.11* It was easy, definitely not for 8th graders. The black background doesn’t let you see the question. ### 3/5 — Feed back *2023-03-12, version 2.11* Please put readable background in contrast colour otherwise sometime hard to read ### 3/5 — CHANGE BACKGROUND IMAGES OR LETTERING *2021-04-29, version 2.11* My son enjoys the game but you can’t read the questions on the black background because the letters are black. Please outline the letters or use a contrasting background so you can read the questions! ### 3/5 — The Backgrounds *2021-04-05, version 2.11* They really need to fix the backgrounds! It makes it impossible to read the questions and then you can’t answer them right ever. ### 3/5 — Terrible Game *2020-05-07, version 2.11* Needs more games and the characters look like they were drawn by a 3 year old. ### 4/5 — There’s an error in one of the questions *2020-04-25, version 2.11* The units for acceleration are distance per time squared. So the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters/((second)^2). Other than that the app is quite fun and educational. ### 4/5 — Nblegend88 *2020-03-24, version 2.09* The game is good for middle school kids to review topics that they have talked about in school. The content is very easy but it is good for 6-8th graders to review there content during the time kids have out of school. ### 3/5 — Little easy *2020-03-23* I am in 6th grade and am in need of some science activity. Due to the Coronavirus, school is closed for a bit, and I do not want to forget all of my information. I decided to download this app so that I would not forget everything that I know from science class. What I found was that it is basically a review from what I learned in 4th grade but knew in 2nd. To the maker- you should make this harder. I do enjoy reviewing however, so I have three stars. ### 3/5 — Great Start - Want More *2018-11-15, version 2.09* Love the idea, and it's a good start. Could use a lot more questions, and varying or progressive difficulty levels. ### 4/5 — Good *2015-07-12, version 2.07* This app was nice to keep up my learning during the summer. I was really hoping to do the Chemistry and Periodic Table quizzes though, and would have enjoyed it more if it was free. 😥 Anyways the app was helpful and I plan on downloading others from the same makers. ### 4/5 — Very fun! Great Brain Warmup *2014-12-23, version 2.07* Very fun, great at keeping sharp with science info. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot See Questions Because Of Background! *2023-11-08, version 2.11* The background color behind the questions and answers does not allow for the questions and answers to be seen because the color of the text blends in with the background. As such, we cannot read half the questions/answers on the iPad. We have waited for the issue to be corrected via updates, but after 3 yrs, nothing has changed. ### 1/5 — This app is so annoying *2022-07-18, version 2.11* Like the question and stuff are fine but it’s the background that does it the writing is black and it’s space wallpapers/backgrounds! I can barely read anything because of the wallpaper >:/! Please fix this ### 1/5 — User Interface is awful and he app was not put together well AT ALL! *2015-05-06, version 2.07* I was forced to download this app as it is part of our testing course, and it is disgusting. I make iPhone and iPad applications myself and my first app released was better than this one. The UI is absolutely terrible and this app not only deserves an update but needs one. I have to say I am very disappointed in the creators of this app and would highly like to see an update very soon. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2013-12-12, version 2.07* Terrible you have to pay for the good topics and even if you do pay they will probably still be Terrible ### 2/5 — A few levels work *2025-07-28, version 2.11* They should use lighter backgrounds or brighter fonts. Black text on black backgrounds are unreadable. ### 2/5 — Your trying to tell me this is for 8th grade!? *2023-05-02, version 2.11* No way this is middle school science, I’ve known these things since the third grade, not to mention one of your games are broken. There’s this one game where you tilt your screen to navigate asteroids however the question is outlined in black… and so is the background!! You can’t see it at all! Please fix this, and make it much harder. ### 2/5 — Review *2022-11-09, version 2.11* I didn’t like this app because the background made it so you cannot see the writing. If the background was different, it would be better! On the other hand, this app helped me so much. Now I can remember a lot more than I did before. ### 2/5 — Terrible display *2022-06-20, version 2.11* The content is good, but the background pictures make it impossible to read the questions. EXTREMELY frustrating. ### 2/5 — I cant even read the questions!!!! The interface is so dark I cant rthe questions *2022-03-22, version 2.11* The interface is so dark I cant even read the questions ### 2/5 — Can’t read the questions *2020-12-11, version 2.11* Background makes it impossible to read the questions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2021-05-28, version 2.11* Good but could be better ### 5/5 — Why i love this app *2020-08-20, version 2.11* Its a very helpful app and it teached me a lot thank you so much ### 5/5 — Review *2020-07-15, version 2.11* It is a very good app and deserves a really good rating from everyone love it and i would use it for my kids ### 5/5 — Good app 😁 *2020-07-14, version 2.11* I am going into 6th grade and this is helping me even with COVID-19 ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-07-04, version 2.11* This is a great app! I would definitely recommend it to people how are eager to learn. I feel the content should be a little more challenging though. If you could do that, I would give a thousand star rating!! ### 5/5 — Easy *2020-03-11, version 2.09* I am way below 8th grade and i think its way t to easy if it got. New levels it would be awesome ### 5/5 — AMAZING!! *2020-02-26, version 2.09* This app has helped me sooo much, thx!!! When I had nothing to study on, I found this app and it helped me a lot! If I were the president of the world, I would give all the people that made this game a free trip to Mars! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2015-02-04, version 2.07* I am homeschooled and I use this app as my school (The other apps too) it's really fun it's like playing a game insted of school!! I love it so much 5 stars. Wish there were more apps like this!! ### 5/5 — Great *2014-06-11, version 2.07* I love this app so much that I constantly play it. I learned some things that I didn't even think about. I also love the little monkey and the fact that you have to collect banana's to play different games so you have to learn just to play. But over all this app is cool. ;-) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-04-07, version 2.07* As an 11 year old boy,I like this game!I like that you can purchase games with bananas and you get those by answering questions that are like a riddle.And if your'e thinking of downloading this game,when you get 50 bananas,buy the Ladder Game.It's Super Fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
