Parents say that while the app provides entertainment value and offers a variety of trivia categories, it poses significant safety risks for children, as its chat feature can expose them to unwanted contact from predators. Additionally, many users express frustration with the app's numerous glitches, heavy advertising, and questionable question accuracy, leading to a disheartening gaming experience for longtime players.

What's It About?
Players answer a series of trivia questions in an effort to collect character "crowns." Answer three questions correctly and you're able to attempt to add a character to your collection (by answering a question in that category). Win six crowns and you've won the game. When you miss a question, your (human) opponent gets a chance to answer as many questions as she or he can. You can play against strangers but are unable to message each other through the game, reducing the threat that strangers could make contact with minors. Users also can submit their own questions.
Is It Any Good?
Taking a competitive page from Words with Friends and Candy Crush Saga, TRIVIA CRACK puts a winning formula on a new type of game. Answering trivia questions on the whole can be a fun way to test yourself and maybe learn something too, but when you make it competitive, it raises the stakes and makes it a lot more fun. In all honesty, there's nothing particularly new here, but the game is so well-designed it makes the lack of innovation less noticeable. It's a wonderfully social game that will push you to scour your brain for information, rather than simply match three similarly colored items.
