Draw one question at a time, read it out loud and let everyone answer. The questions are short, everyday and surprisingly divisive: Four-seater or backwards two-seater on the bus? Phone screen up or down on the table? Is it okay to lift the top layer of the chocolate box? There are no right answers β just good arguments. β’ Swipe through the cards with your friends β’ Swipe up for follow-up questions β’ Rate the questions β’ Submit your own questions β the best ones make it into the app β’ Norwegian and English You get 45 free minutes to try the app. After that, choose a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VGTV at none against The Big Jive's 3. VGTV also leads on device support (3 vs 1). The Big Jive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
