About

My General Knowledge

Features
Read full description

My General Knowledge turns spare minutes into real study time. With 1,984 questions across 14 subjects — Computer Science, History, Geography, General Science, Physics, Chemistry, Religion, Sports, Literature, Arts, Culture & Heritage, Communication, Entertainment, and Biology — there's always something new to learn, and always a reason to come back. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • Built for the right age. Every question is tagged 8-11, 12-15, 16-19, or 20+/university, so a younger learner and a university student studying the same subject never see the same question. • Two ways to prove you know it. Answer multiple choice or fill in the blank — recognizing the right answer and recalling it from memory both get practiced, with answer order shuffled every attempt. • Every continent counts. History, Geography, Religion, Sports, and Culture & Heritage questions are tagged by continent, plus flag-identification questions covering more than 150 countries. • Beat the clock. Turn on Challenge Time for an optional countdown from one minute to a full hour, with an on-screen clock you can drag anywhere on screen. • Fresh every time. Questions reshuffle into a new order each time you open a subject, so it never feels like the same list twice. • See yourself improve. The Progress tab tracks your scores, time taken, and which questions you've mastered, broken down by subject. BUILT FOR PEACE OF MIND My General Knowledge makes no network requests at all. There's no account, no ads, no analytics, and nothing shared with anyone. Every score is saved only on your own device, and you can erase it anytime with one tap. Whether you're brushing up before an exam, keeping sharp between semesters, or just enjoy learning something new, My General Knowledge is built to make knowledge a habit — not a chore. My General Knowledge is a product of FigSoft Computing. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My General Knowledge at none against Peak's 10. My General Knowledge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Peak's advantage is chart position (#185 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
