I mean id use the app more if i didnt have to wait to use it. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-05-08, version 1.0* This app is okay, but I’m a student who is trying to cram in study time three days before my AP test and with the amount of lives this game gives you, it doesn’t really help at all. I’m really just wanna over here trying to pass. ### 2/5 — Fun, but... *2019-05-02, version 1.0* I used this app as a fun way to review for the APUSH exam, but I have to wait a whole hour to get more lives and I can only earn three at a time. There idea is great! However, maybe if we could earn lives quicker, or be able to have more of them. ### 4/5 — lives *2019-04-11, version 1.0* getting lives is hard man ### 2/5 — Waiting for lives *2019-03-29, version 1.0* Now I understand as an app you must make money but students who are trying to find a fun way to quiz themselves before an exam I found lives to be kinda stupid. There are other ways for apps to make money. For example, Ads, play not to play and bonus things. The game itself I think should be a quiz where you don’t have just one answer even after you get one wrong. There is good content on here but I recommend putting a pause button(which may be cheating but should be there if lives are in place) and giving more lives or a way to get more studying in. Thank you😜 ### 2/5 — yikes *2018-12-19, version 1.0* eh ### 4/5 — Good *2018-11-12, version 1.0* great study tool, information & i love the idea of the app, but constant need for lives hinders maximizing my studying time/exposure to questions ### 3/5 — It is ehhh *2018-05-10, version 1.0* It does do a good job of testing your skills but the creator was too cocky and they give you 3 lives to just try a game and once you run out you have to pay or wait. Not really the best method of helping a student learn. ### 3/5 — Alright *2018-05-10, version 1.0* It’s aight ### 4/5 — wow!! *2018-05-09, version 1.0* it’s alright i just need a life ### 3/5 — Worth it - sorta *2018-05-09, version 1.0* The questions are helpful in learning the material, although they don’t seem AP style. Also, after answer a question it quickly disappears. It would be nice if you had time to re-read to see why you missed the question. ### 4/5 — Great *2018-05-08, version 1.0* Helped but wish I had more lives ### 3/5 — Good but.... *2018-05-04, version 1.0* This game is so well made with great questions! My only complaint is that lives go very fast & it asks you to buy new ones. Please give us more lives or take away the lives feature, I just want to use this to study. ### 2/5 — Idk *2018-05-03, version 1.0* Idk man ### 3/5 — Yummy mmm *2018-05-02, version 1.0* Bad app, my teeth hurt just looking at it thanks ### 3/5 — Good but.. *2018-05-02, version 1.0* This app is good for review but I hate how you have to wait for the lives to reload, they could make it with gaining and losing points and then if you get a certain amount right you play against someone. ### 2/5 — Good idea but... *2018-04-30, version 1.0* The good: - The simple interface is a refreshing change of pace - fast load time means studying during brief moments of downtown Needs improvement: - One wrong and your out--do 3-5 misses per life instead - An info pop up if I tap on tokens or lives may help users ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Still waiting for lives *2019-05-10, version 1.0* Not good for a review ### 1/5 — The app is titled US History *2019-04-24, version 1.0* I did not get any questions about US History... ### 1/5 — I hate this app a lot *2018-10-05, version 1.0* Extremely stupid and useless unless you want to pay $30... ### 1/5 — Life’s *2018-05-04, version 1.0* You should give more lives. ### 1/5 — Lol *2016-05-06, version 1.0* It's okay ### 1/5 — Why only 3 lives *2016-05-06, version 1.0* The AP test is tomorrow and I don't have time to wait for more lives ### 1/5 — Lives *2016-05-06, version 1.0* I am trying to review history. I shouldn't need to wait for more lives to keep playing ### 1/5 — Lives *2016-04-30, version 1.0* Okay... Annoying because you have to buy lives. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2016-04-16* While the questions are somewhat helpful, this app is completely useless. You need to have "lives" to play the game, and in order to get more "lives" you have to wait or pay money. Basically, this app is just an excuse to get money from people. I refuse to pay 30 dollars to get "unlimited lives," or whatever that means, just so I can study the questions without having to wait. All I want to do is find a decent app to supplement my studying for my upcoming AP exam. However, this app is a waste of time. I would not recommend downloading it because it will not help you in the long run, unless you're willing to pay 30 dollars. I'd rather just read the textbook. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2019-09-20, version 1.0* It’s ok ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-04-25, version 2.0* Helpful study guide ### 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 ### 5/5 — Nice *2019-04-14, version 1.0* It’s cool ### 5/5 — This game is quite neat boys!! *2017-12-22, version 1.0* :) ### 5/5 — Cute fun app *2017-12-08, version 1.0* I really love this app. It’s beautiful and it’s got very good questions. If you’re patient it’s completely free. This is not for impatient people who want handouts. It does require a little money if you keep getting questions wrong, so it’s also a great incentive to study before competing with friends! ### 5/5 — Trivia US History *2017-07-15, version 1.0* Enjoyable! ### 5/5 — Apush rocks *2016-05-15, version 1.0* Awesome game ### 5/5 — Cool! *2016-05-06, version 1.0* It's Great ### 5/5 — Me *2016-05-06, version 1.0* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
