Questionable formats and incorrect trivia
This app looks really pretty and all, but the questions seem to have been written by someone with little regard for conventional punctuation, making phrases difficult to parse. This is not ideal for a timed trivia game. The problem of readability is further compounded by the color and font choices for both the questions and multiple-choice answers.
I was willing to overlook these problems until I came across a trivia question with a patently false answer.
"America" was not discovered by Europeans, yall. One cannot discover land that is already inhabited by humans. Somebody already found that place. In the case of the Americas, that discovery was literally prehistoric. Implying that the Americas were discovered by Europeans at a point within written history is both factually inaccurate and culturally insensitive.
UPDATE: Even more questionable questions, including the inventor of the telephone. You guys, if there are multiple Wikipedia pages dealing with the CONTROVERSY over who should actually get credit for inventing something, you should probably not take sides in your trivia game. There needs to be a CORRECT answer for trivia questions, not a sort-of, maybe, depending-on-your-opinion, less-wrong-than-the-others answer.
This, combined with my ongoing frustrations about readability - and the fact that the game timer doesnt pause if you leave the app while a question is up, forcing you to run out of time and ending your streaks, costs the app another star. At this point the only way it could be worse is if it shoved game preview ads that take forever to load in there.
P. S. Heaven help you if you dont watch both professional and college sports, AND the academy awards. You will want to throw your phone, guaranteed.
