All the countries of the world

I have learned all the countries of the world thanks to Sporcle. It hasn’t helped a lot in my life but I’ve probably got a few free meals from winning pub trivia so that’s a win. I could probably learn flags and capital cities but my brain is reaching its limit. Sporcle on sporcklers, someone somewhere will appreciate you knowing the capital of Kiribati and its correct pronunciatio, or how to spell Kyrgyzstan and Liechtenstein.

Ads

Ads are terrible. You play a solid to rounds and then there’s a random at that takes 5 minutes. It takes so damn long, you think the progress froze on top of the ad. You spend more time watching ads that you have no interest than you do actually playing the game.

New ads

The acrostic puzzle used to be free everyday. Now you have to subscribe or watch a long ad to play a short game.

Addicted!

Best, best, best trivia app... so many ways to play--and no bots forced down your throat. I love earning badges and challenging myself. I searched hi & lo for a great trivia app--and I know now, we were meant to be together. :o) Am I addicted? ABSOLUTELY!

Perfeito!

Amo mto esse app/ site!!! Jogo a anos e nunca canso kk

Too Much Paid Items

Great app BUT there are adverts everywhere! They made my very favourite feature, the acrostic archive, a paid subscription… I think that has officially ruined the app for me… If it stays this way, it may be okay for first time users but it has gone down hill for older ones!

Ads

I would have rated this 5 stars until they started running ads even for those of us who already PAY for the app. Way to let your greed ruin the experience for long-time subscribers. I will be unsubscribing and uninstalling the app. It isn’t worth it anymore.

Terrible

This app is terrible…. I am pretty sure this app has been untouched since initial release. The fact they want your money to go add free is horrendous. When doing quizzes it is very clunky and glitchy. Also, it shoots you across the screen when answering something to show that answer. I don’t need more confirmation that what I put is correct, when the text goes away for a correct answer, and sits there if incorrect. Im trying to name obscure MLB All Stars from the 2010s and the thing glitching around everywhere dragging you to the top stronger the gravitational pull of your fat aunt. Never made a review before, but…

DO NOT USE THIS APP
IT SUCKS AT IT’S ONLY INTENDED PURPOSE

OG players will be disappointed

If you’re brand new to Sporcle, you might enjoy this. But having played it for a long time, 10 plus years, it’s morphed into something different, and it feels like it’s sold out a bit. There’s now a heavy reliance on multiple choice format, whereas you used to largely have to know the answers and type them in. A lot of old timer, pause and hint features disappeared, effectively reducing the user experience somewhat. Feels like there’s a heavy bias towards American cultural content which excludes international users. I don’t feel the newer format is as much fun, the performance comments aren’t funny or necessary , the questions are dumbed down, ads are frequent so as to feel disruptive but the subscription price point for removing them is too high. It’s just not as enjoyable or addictive as old school Sporcle was. If you’re an avid quizzer, or returning old school app user, prepare to feel the mighty meh.

Ads are insane

The number of the ads is not an issue. The issue is that they’re unscippable minute long ones. Absolutely makes this app not usable. I’d rather spend my time on the clunky web version on my phone’s browser.

Sporcle

Sporcle is the most amazing app..5 million stars…this app has it all for learning..every subject imaginable..different types of puzzles, word games and trivia. Your life, knowledge, confidence, conversations.. will certainly be “sparkling” with…Sporcle!! All you trivia lovers, puzzle enthusiasts, word game hobbyists..Sporcle is that must-have app!!! Addicting!!!!!

I quit

Seriously? I get waiting a few seconds for a dumb ad but waiting a minute is crazy. Hope those extra dollars are worth it because you’re losing players.

Too many ads

Was good for a while but now you have a 60 second ad after a quiz, used to be 5 seconds. Frequency of ads seems up as well

ADS!!!

I love sporcle, been using it online for years. Thought it might be fun to play on my phone, but ads after literally every single quiz gets exhausting pretty quick. I understand that’s how these sites make money to stay active but it gets to a point you know. Again I I love sporcle, just gonna stick to the computer though.

Ads Too Long

Love the quizzes but the ads are way too long. I don’t mind if I can play to occupy my time, but the ads you are stuck just watching are painful.

My favorite app

I love playing and the diversity: great app!

Would give this 3.5 stars if I could

I love the app, but (1) the developers need to make an iOS widget that shows your daily streak. This will make ppl more inclined to use the app bc they can see their streak number in big bold letters on their homescreens. (2), the app/website is very overstimulating. There’s too much to click on. It should also be easier to find and access ur playlists.

Fun app

I have fun on this app

intrusive advertising

Interrupting my music to play ad audio is incredibly obnoxious
