I have been playing this game literally for years, and it’s generally a good and challenging general knowledge game, but there are a few aspects of it that I’ve found very frustrating. First, although the questions are generally well-written and challenging, with a huge data base which makes them rarely repeat, there are too many UK-based questions that are too tough for this American. (I imagine some UK players feel the same about the US-based questions.) But my main critique of this game is how competitive it has become and how hard it is to advance beyond the middle levels. I have tried for many months to advance and stay above the Silver II level, but unless I play every waking hour of my day or spend a lot of real money on game premiums, it seems I will never get there. And I’m no dummy because I am actually a former contestant on the TV show. Therefore I’ve finally decided to uninstall the game. So good luck if you download this - you’ll find it fun and challenging for a while, but don’t expect to advance very far up the player ladder unless you’re willing to play almost 24/7 or invest a lot of your own money in it.

1. Free ads are never available so you can never redeem the pittance that is the free rewards in the reward cinema section. Literally the ads are never available so that’s annoying and a whole component of the game you can’t use. 2. Even more annoying sometimes you lose even if you win. What I mean is for example it cost $500 to enter the competition but if your opponent loses before you make $500 you’re still losing because you’re only guaranteed to make as far as they reached unless you win it all (unreasonable). So if you beat your opponent at the $300 you “win” the round but you’re still out $200 cause it cost you $500 to get in. If you “win” you should at least break even. Stupid. There are only a few ways around this- one is a flag which they give you 5 at the start except NEVER tell you how to use it or what it’s for which caused me to lose them using them trying to figure out what they do (hold your spot after you’ve beat an opponent and passed their question rank). The only other way is to win every single round til you get to the million dollars. That’s it. If you answer 10 more questions after beating your opponent but don’t make it to the million you’ll be rewarded for none of it. If you beat your opponent and make it to the silver box you get silver box rewards but you still don’t get the M coins for all the questions you answered to get there. Very dumb. 🥴

This app is beyond frustrating. You're forced to sit through an ad after every single match. I'm fine with free to play apps selling things that let you progress faster, but not things that give paying players an unfair advantage (this app is the latter). The 1v1 style would be interesting, but players who spend money have a huge advantage. It's essentially impossible to unlock the better experts without paying real money, and those experts basically just give you the answer when you use the "Ask an Expert" lifeline (and there are no limits to the number of lifelines you can use, so paying players have way more of them and can use them to get the answer to almost any question they don't know). I don't know who comes up with the questions, but it's clear they have a very strong pro-Christian bias. About every 30th question is an extremely obscure question about Christian theology (I went to church and Sunday school until I was 18 and still don't know the answers to hardly any of these). Yet in all my time playing, I have come across 0 questions about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other modern religions. This could be a great trivia app if it didn't have ads or give paying players a hugely unfair advantage. If you're looking for a trivia app that won't drive you insane, look elsewhere.
