### 5/5 — Cool app

*2026-04-25, version 2.0*

Helpful study guide

### 3/5 — Its okay

*2021-01-15, version 1.0*

The app is enjoyable to use but i dont understand the point of “lives”. I mean id use the app more if i didnt have to wait to use it.

### 5/5 — A fun way to review a lot of history facts.

*2020-04-08, version 1.0*

Not bad for review but too few lives.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2020-03-14, version 1.0*

Easy to review with my classmates

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2019-09-20, version 1.0*

It’s ok

### 2/5 — Pay to play is rediculous

*2019-06-14, version 1.0*

I got 25 tokens to leave this review.

### 2/5 — Frustrating app

*2019-05-11, version 1.0*

Hate that question disappears if I don’t answer in time. This means I didn’t know it or didn’t read fast enough and want to review it. It seems to disappear never to be seen again; yet, this is what I need to review most.

### 1/5 — Still waiting for lives

*2019-05-10, version 1.0*

Not good for a review

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2019-05-10, version 1.0*

I like the questions but I really wish there wasn’t lives

### 3/5 — It’s alright

*2019-05-09, version 1.0*

This is an okay app, I really like that you can compare yourself to other students at your school. It could be good for a teacher to incorporate this into a class. However, you can only play so long with the few lives you’re given and you have to wait for them to recharge, which is annoying. I haven’t played very long at all (I’m out of lives and have to wait an hour, hence why I’m spending time writing this) but the questions seem very period 1 heavy, though it might do them in order and I just haven’t done well enough. Overall it’s okay but I would recommend installing multiple review apps so you dont have to wait to keep studying.
