Lots of people complain about glitches, but it's still pretty new and the team works hard to update and fix it. I dislike one winner every day, and would rather go back to winners after the game. But it's their game and not mine, it's still free money. They are very helpful and have limited data use now, so just the games take data. ### 5/5 — Easiest $100 I’ve ever made! *2018-09-10, version 1.4.5* Like many of the other reviewers, I’d played HQ before and felt like it became a bit pointless because you never win, or if you do you just end up with $5 because you split the pot with so many people. Well I’ve had this app for not even a month and I won $100 just for essentially having the app open! I can verify I have been paid, all securely through PayPal, so while it may seem too good to be true, the hype is real!! The quizzes are also pretty fun and easy, so it doesn’t take long to build up “luck points” to be entered in the drawings. Two thumbs up!! ### 5/5 — Great community! *2018-08-26, version 1.4.2* I used to play HQ and it is NOTHING compared to YAS! Not only do you get to play fun quizzes and win money, but you also make great relationships/friendships with the other players. I have been nothing but satisfied since downloading this! And no, as a fellow player and winner I can assure you it is NOT a scam, promise. :) ### 5/5 — Win money and friends here - no age bar, no racism :) *2018-08-18, version 1.3.5* I joined this game after watching so many of my friends playing it. Initially i thought its like quiz trivia but it is much more than that. Trust me its not boring at all. I made a bunch of friends here. They know me, my name, they know about me.. i feel so nice about it. I have never won money though but i won a lot of friends here. I have shared stories with them , heard their chapters too. Trust me this platform will make you love your life. The people here are so amazing, they keep encouraging always. The developer team is bringing so many new features all the time. It started with a simple quiz trivia and chat platform but now we have the option to add profile pic , bio and make friends. I love the app and my YASFAM!! 💙 ### 5/5 — YAS is DYNAMIC!!! *2018-08-10, version 1.3.1* YAS is an interactive platform. People use the app to play trivia games and depending on points and luck points, they can instantly win cash!!! It is super fun!!!! And players can chat with each other in the lobby!!! Games are created by players as well on Metaverse!!! This platform is easy to use and fun to create games or activities!!! I love it!!!! ### 5/5 — amazing community *2018-08-09, version 1.3.1* I’ve been playing YAS for about two weeks and not only is it highly addicting, it has an amazing group of people. everyone I’ve encountered on the app has shown me nothing but love ❤️ if you enjoy talking to strangers from all over the world and a little trivia here and there from your favorite shows and movies, then go download YAS! ### 5/5 — YYAASSSS *2018-08-09, version 1.3.1* Of all the trivia games I’ve tried, this is by far the most fun! The chat has such a positive vibe, and everyone is so supportive of the people who win! There are no bots, and the payouts are real, and the games are actually fun! You can also create your own trivia games for some monetary compensation from the app as well. Overall a super fun app! ### 5/5 — YAS ITS REAL! *2018-08-06, version 1.2.11* Everyone is always skeptical at first and asks the same questions... “Do you actually win real money?” And the answer is YAS!! You can finally put your random knowledge of your favorite shows/ movies to use! Binge watching all 9 seasons of the The Office, Harry Potter, Friends, etc. has actually paid off for me. I personally won $500, and had so much fun doing it :) This game is so addicting & much better than any other trivia game i’ve played! ### 5/5 — This game makes me say yassssss *2018-07-26, version 1.2.9* Yas is a great game that makes you go “YASSS” and that makes your friends think you’re kind of insane for being obsessed with this one game?? But THEN they get obsessed too which is cool... anyway, great game. I guess it’s a little confusing at first with all the different stuff, like luck and points and shields and streak, but once you get the hang of it it is awesome. Hope you download it, hope you think I’m a weirdo, hope you have a great time with it, and have an awesome day. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-07-22, version 1.2.6* Seriously this is one of the best trivia apps. While it is different than the live trivia apps out there, it has a positive approach and admins that interact. The more positive chat is the more generous admins are. I go for the trivia but I stay for the lovely interactions with people. If you haven’t downloaded you should and if you have good luck! ### 4/5 — Would recommend! *2018-07-22, version 1.2.6* The trivia games are fun to play, and earning luck and points through the generous and all powerful Zuul makes waiting for games to start worth it. I haven’t won yet but it seems like most people win at least $20 if not hundreds so I’m still holding out hope. The variety of trivia is definitely fun, though the glitches can be frustrating. ### 5/5 — Best app around *2018-07-22, version 1.2.6* I got this as another trivia app like HQ and Cash Show. But this is WAY better!! There is a community within the app that makes everyone feel loved and the app an all around better place to spend time on. Would DEFINITELY recommend downloading! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abusive Players *2019-10-23, version 1.5.1* Game was fun when it first started. Daily prizes seemed to be random but that was short lived. A certain clique filled with the most toxic human beings on the planet would gang up on other players and hurl personal insults, both sexual and non-sexual, and made the chat unbearable. If you didn’t seem familiar to them or if you said something they didn’t like they’d try to have you banned or mute you in the chat so nobody could chat with you. After playing for about a month I noticed a trend that the same people in the clique were always winning and when people would question how a winner is selected at random but the same people are winning, you’re banned or muted after receiving threats, insults, and being told to kill yourself. ### 1/5 — Poor app that should be taken down *2019-04-08, version 1.5.1* This app lacks in substance and the interface is beyond horrible , I’ve never won anything because it’s rigged based on favoritism and not on what you know in your head . I use to try and win in the beginning but they changed the whole app and destroyed it . Users creating quizzes how incredibly lame .. the owners of the app should be the only ones making quizzes and handing your money .. skip this lame app and move on to so many better apps that you actually have a chance at to win money .. this site is loaded with spam and harassment and the concept of being a good game show has like others have stated gone out the window .. try out of tune , hangtime , joyride, etc just do your research and don’t let this app waste anymore of your time .. you deserve better! ### 1/5 — YAS went downhill and allows bullies. *2018-11-01, version 1.5.1* I use to love YAS and the positive community. That no longer exists. The admins allow bullies to terrorize other players. Two players of which I will not name have definitely stuck out with the spread of hate and telling someone to go kill themself draws the line. There’s now favoritism when it comes to people winning which is not a welcoming experience. The app has lost a lot of players because of this. The admins are pushing other players to spread the word because I believe they are losing investors for the lack of people joining. There use to be 5pm prizes everyday but now you just get quizzes, bullying from other members and an unwelcome environment. I will be deleting this app because it has become toxic and hateful. To the other positive other players I have met on this app and most of which who have left, thank you for being welcoming and friendly. ### 1/5 — Awesome app! *2018-09-03, version 1.4.3* It’s more then a game, it’s more then trivia, it’s a community, a place to make REAL friends, and the prizes are a bonus! The money is real-I personally have won $1,000!!!! The admins of the game are available all the time and they really work hard for those who appreciate this app. If someone is being mean, or spamming-they are swiftly removed. It’s been a pleasure signing onto this app everyday. Since I’ve downloaded it I’ve had round the clock entertainment! I’m so happy to have found this! ### 1/5 — Just about luck, not knowledge *2018-07-28, version 1.2.10* Though this app looks like a trivia game, its really more of a lottery. Are you going to win the lottery? No. Are you going to win YAS? I doubt it. Yes there is trivia and it’s mildly entertaining, but knowledge doesn't really make you more likely to win. You get points for just sitting in the lobby so there isn’t much point to playing the trivia for anything but mediocre fun. Look at all the 5 star reviews. Notice anything? Every single one is by someone who won. Take that however you want, but I find it shady. I’m sure lots of people like this game and that’s fine, but I like my trivia games to require knowledge, not luck. ### 1/5 — Disappointed but not surprised *2018-07-16, version 1.2.4* The show started out fun but with a lot of bugs. Basically you would answer trivia questions and then get entered into a drawing based on how many points you got. The app has not morphed into some strange mishmash or trivia, social media pandering, glitches and nonsense. Prizes are no longer given out after games and now points are awarded based on how long you wait in the lobby during random hours, how many emojis you can spam into the chat room, etc. There have been quite a few games with false information leading me to believe that the app owners don’t fact check before publishing any of their games. Pretty much every game several people aren’t even able to play because the app shuts them out due to technical difficulties. I’ve given this app quite a lot of tries because it’s new and there are bound to be issues, but the overall point of the game to win money by completing trivia has just gone out the window. ### 2/5 — Notification spam *2018-10-20, version 1.5.1* Had to delete. If you download this prepare yourself for 10-20 notifications a day. When it’s raining “luck”, when you missed a game, when it’s 5 min from a game, 1 min from a game, when anyone accepts your friend request etc etc etc etc. I really liked the style of quizzes since it gets straight to the point rather than having a live host but it’s spamming to the point that it gets stressful. ### 2/5 — Happy Until... *2018-08-21, version 1.3.5* The app was lots of fun. I enjoyed staying up late into the night, chatting with users and sometimes admins and just interacting with the community, as well as the wide variety of trivia. Then one day chat just stopped working for me. I could write messages but I could never see any of them when I hit send, and no one was interacting with me anymore so I knew they didn’t go into chat. I miss talking to other players and now that I can’t, I only go on it once a day to keep my streak up, in hopes that one day I’ll get back to it. It’s insanely frustrating having no reason why I can’t chat. **Developer response:** Hi, please send me an email with your username to sean@gometa.io and I will look into this. You may have been muted from the chat. ### 2/5 — Free money but... *2018-06-15, version 1.1.7* The servers crash or are being updated, I guess to be expected with a new app? It’s fun to answer questions and at the end maybe win raffle style, versus splitting a pot like HQ. Expect your phone to get very hot (like sitting in the sun hot) and the battery to drain very fast. Plugging it in doesn’t help either. But it’s free money if you win, and it’s trivia. Seems like the following is growing too fast for the developers to keep up with data/server wise. ### 4/5 — Chances of winning are great! *2018-11-01, version 1.5.1* This app is in its fledgling stages, which has good and bad points. The bad side: still has some kinks to work out, like points sometimes being wonky or questions and tests not being completely “professional” looking sometimes. Good side: the chances of winning are great! Not one million + people on it like other trivia apps. And it’s built a great community of actual virtual friends. Everyone’s so friendly and kind and when someone’s not, the mods are great at keeping them at bay. Once the crashes get ironed out it’ll be worth 5 stars for sure! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — fun & good chance of winning! *2018-11-02, version 1.5.1* my friends and i LOVE this game. it’s a fun game of friendly competition and the chances of winning are higher than I thought! I used to play YAS all the time but kind of lost hope and now I play here and there but just the other day I received a notification saying I won $50! It’s fun, definitely addicting, and you get rewarded for playing! So I definitely have no complaints :) ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-10-30, version 1.5.1* I love playing yas because it challenges my mind. There are categories for everyone. Yes there are some glitches, but they admin keeps you posted and let’s you play again if multiple people have the same problem. Also, they actually pay you! ### 5/5 — I won in less than a week ! *2018-10-03, version 1.5.1* I’ve only been using this app for 6 days and already won $100! It’s legit! When you win, they text you & you add your PayPal information! This app so amazing & so are the people there! They’re very supportive ! Download it & play, you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Super fun app *2018-09-25, version 1.4.5* I have been playing YAS since July 6th. It is now September 24th and I just won $100!!! I actually really enjoy the trivia games, regardless of the money, but finally winning the $$ is nice too! I really never thought I would win but here we are :) There is a chat feature at all times and I love the community and atmosphere. ### 5/5 — A one of a kind app experience! *2018-09-21, version 1.4.5* I’m not usually a fan of rating apps because even if I do, the suggestions are usually not even taken under consideration, and secondly, no app until NOW has taken me and the world by storm and if you haven’t heard of it, it’s the app that EVERYONE is talking about...YAS!😁 Basically it’s a simple trivia app like the others, but the people and the concept are one of a kind! You answer questions and earn what you call LUCK points, which accumulate each week, and it’s those points and each one, that serve as one drawing into the raffle at the end of the day where you can earn up to 1k! YES you can earn this! Many people have and I just did as of 2 days ago, earning 100 dollars! There is NO CATCH, and you put ZERO money into it period! You just answer questions, and come hang out to earn these luck points! This is an app that EVERYONE should be playing so if you are not you need to be! What is better than free money, great chat and people, and “spot” prizes throughout the day where you also have chances to earn even MORE cash!? I can’t think of anything better! Yes my friends, it’s the YAS app!!! Hope to see you there! YASSSSS!👍 ### 5/5 — My new go to gaming app! *2018-09-20, version 1.4.5* I discovered YAS one day on Instagram and was instantly hooked. I had been playing other mobile games for MONTHS prior and I still wasn’t fully committed or having fun. YAS is an extremely friendly, world-wide, loving and positive community, which you don’t see much anymore. It’s easy to play, make friends and even have conversations. Plus, you can possibly win real money! The quizzes are all made by users and admins and are a wide assortment of trivia questions. I won’t go back to any other game after finding the YAS family! ### 5/5 — Skeptic turned believer!! *2018-09-19, version 1.4.5* I was skeptical of ever winning anything on these trivia apps, but after playing for just a few weeks I legit won $500!!!! Money was in my PayPal account within 24 hours and immediately transferable to my checking account. CRAZY! Not to mention all the cool facts that I’ve learned in these quizzes! Def recommend!!! Also, you meet some really amazing and supportive people in the chat! YASFAM IS LIFE! ### 5/5 — Fun App! *2018-09-19, version 1.4.5* This app is much more interesting than HQ (what I used to play nearly every single day), since there are multiple quizzes per day and you can choose which topics interest you! I haven’t won yet, but I’m slowly racking up my luck points (which you can get while waiting for the next quiz and participating in the chat - a feature I LOVE) and I’m hoping I’ll win soon! 🤞🤞 A huge thanks to all the amazing admins and developers out there; you should be very proud of this game! ### 5/5 — Adds excitement to my day! *2018-09-19, version 1.4.5* This is the first trivia app where I feel like the admin truly listen and connect to its players in a super fun way. And group chat is always positive! Not to mention... people are winning left and right! I thought maybe it was impossible but then my close friend won $500! Just waiting for my luck to grow now. YAAAAS! ### 5/5 — Great quizzes, Great People *2018-09-17, version 1.4.5* I first downloaded the app for the HP quizzes, but it has become pretty addicting and all the quizzes are fun to play. The people I. The chat are very friendly and the Admins are always posting positivity in the chats as well. Oh and on a side note, for anyone who thinks this may be a scam, I did win a money prize (and I never win anything). It’s so much more than a prize game app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
