By History Lover ### 4/5 — Good game *2023-02-10* I think it was a good game, but it should be able to read to you, but it is a good game and it is entertaining so that a plus. ### 4/5 — Wow *2022-05-22, version 1.2.0* This is a good trivia game!!! ### 4/5 — Great game *2022-03-19* This game is great and all but it doesn’t include most of the Who Was figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Marley, Alexander Hamilton, etc. I think it would be great if you added more figures to the game. ### 4/5 — Great *2020-05-15* I love this apps I love learning about politics and important history! The only thing is I wish that you can actually read that book about that person ### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2020-03-21, version 1.2.0* I have been playing for a week and it's awesome!! ### 5/5 — Really good for History fans *2020-03-01* I love The Who was show and I was at the airport so I looked for an app and I found this. This is one of the games that history fans would love. And I think that when I get to school on Monday I will tell all my friends who like history. Anyways thanks a BUNCH for thinking of all of those who have made a difference. That’s what I think. ### 4/5 — Fun😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺 *2020-02-21* Who was is a great game for all ages but is very limited. For example it only lets you tap heads in an arcade game. It is hard to explain but after a while this game gets boring😩😩😩😩😤 ### 2/5 — I like this game but... *2019-12-13* It’s a really fun game and I luv it but... once I got to a certain level everything froze 😢 it said loading 0% after waiting forever I finally played a different game. I tried playing the next day but it still said 0% day after day I checked but it never worked again.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2019-11-25* I am a history nerd so I love The Who Was Series. Then, my friend introduced me to this game. I fell in love. I downloaded it on my IPad, and just started playing. One problem.....it takes FOREVER to download the levels, even when I have WiFi! Other then that, get this game ### 3/5 — Adventure mode *2019-06-08* Adventure mode would not work I wait hour for it to load and it still was at 0% but still fun because arcade mode would work ### 5/5 — Good *2019-03-24* I really love the series so this is perfect but there are a few quirks like one time when I was playing the Adventure part it said 13/12 questions correct and another time Anne Frank was yellow and when I got it correct it just picked it up off the screen. Also, a lot of other reviews I read said the app should have a book tracking feature and I totally agree with that. ### 5/5 — My game starts s not working *2019-03-10* I started playing this 1 week ago and I got all the way to George Washington Carver and it was 0% so I waited 1 day and it was still 0% and I tried to swipe up the game it still didn’t work. ### 5/5 — The Who Was Game Is Stuck *2019-03-04* Everything was going good until I reached Thomas Alva Edison it said downloading level but then I waited for about 15 minutes but it was still at 0% so please read this review but everything thing else is great 😀 ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-02-27* Growing up I read The Who Was? Books, so seeing this I was excited. I am so happy with this app. It gives you interesting and quick facts about so many famous figures and you get to do a quiz/game testing your knowledge. Not only is it fun but it’s great for learning new things about the famous figures. ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy Learning *2019-02-25, version 1.2.0* So far I love this game. You get keys facts hierarchal order. I love these books!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where’s that update?!?! *2022-05-27, version 1.2.0* I love the app but extremely disappointed that after 3 years there is no update. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2021-09-23, version 1.2.0* It’s says 4 plus so I just got this game cause I had a test coming up but I didn’t even know 67% of the characters and it’s so hard and plus history is my best subject,I fell like either raise the age or make it easier ### 1/5 — Why no options? *2019-10-20* I returned to this app today to find it was now at super speed, with faces that drop down without names and change every two seconds all while I am supposed to be reading and digesting a three-lined description...while more and more switching pix keep falling! I used to be able to play this game...GIVE some OPTIONS, please! (Speed of changing pix, names displayed etc.) ### 1/5 — dro4 *2017-03-10* hueta huet ### 1/5 — Very biased *2016-05-29, version 1.1* Something like this should be neutral but is very biased. Check out questions about Reagan vs kennedy or even Obama. Written by a political extremist hack. ### 1/5 — Good idea bad execution *2016-05-27, version 1.1* App did not function on iPad. Wouldn't advance beyond learn. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Bad political spin *2016-02-01, version 1.0.0* Great concept, but more than a few of these questions are written with a really biased political spin. If this wants to be an educational App lay off the political taunts peppered throughout the App. Possibly a neutral writer. ### 1/5 — Biased political agenda *2015-07-24* Did Michelle Obama get this game devised, it begins to reek of black political agenda after a while so deleted it. ### 1/5 — Game crashes constantly *2015-07-10, version 1.0.0* Game crashes constantly ### 2/5 — Very boring *2023-03-11, version 1.2.0* Mostly progressive propoganda ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2023-07-18, version 1.2.0* I love this app! I wouldn’t know what to do without this app! ### 5/5 — Best educational app *2023-03-24* This is such a nice app to teach all of us history. However it needs an update. I’m running iOS 16.3.1 and it doesn’t work at all. ### 5/5 — Love *2021-11-30, version 1.2.0* Love it! Very educational! Whatever happened to Julius Cesare and Bruce Lee???!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-08-23* It is great for learning plus it’s fun I’m not really a work kinda type I love gaming more that anything but this app changed me it was fun and challenging I think kids would love it even older kids.
