Sporcle Wiki

Long time user, first time reviewer. This app has been great over the years, providing a massive library of quizzes in a multitude of formats and subjects. While not the flashiest display, it provides a fun and fast paced environment that is perfect for small and large gatherings.

Badges are awesome. But when can we copy and text the link to a quiz through the app? Every time I want a friend to take a quiz, I have to search through the website to find it. Please please please let us share links through the app!!!

I want to love the app because I love Sporcle, but I find that the click quizzes stick, it’s often very picky and very slow. It’s hard to pick the right button and very easy to hit the wrong button while trying to hit the right button. The lag on all quizzes (typing or clicking) is just bad.

You used to be able to search a word, and if it had its own page, the link would be at the top. It was easier to complete badges like that. Bring that back. I just search “mixes word” and only three quizzes popped up. Aggravating!

I like the app because I love the website. If there’s one thing I’d suggest that could be improved would be allowing to search for and follow your favorite quiz masters on the app. There are so many good ones that it would be nice if this feature is added.

I know as with any app a lot of work probably went into this, but you probably should’ve put more. Pay your developers more, I dunno. The interface is so deeply boring. Even tho all of the quizzes on the website have an accompanying image, all of the quizzes here just have an icon representing whatever section they’re a part of, which.... doesn’t make sense really? Since every other quiz in the category will have the same icon? Why put it at all.... What I find most puzzling, though, is that they have not carried through with the same organization that the website has, where every category has many subcategories. Instead they just dump all of the quizzes from one giant section into an un-navigable list. Totally impossible to find a quiz you’d like to do. Had to go back to the website on my phone’s browser immediately after downloading the app just to find something I wanted to play, and I find gameplay in browser is good enough. Don’t spend your money. Not worth it in the least. You can still easily play on your phone. Two stars just because I like sporcle and minus all the rest because this app looks and feels like something someone made in a coding class.

This app needs a lot of work. If you, like me and many others, love earning badges just stick with using the website. On the website you can click on links under the badge description and it’ll take you right to the types of quizzes you need to complete. The app does not do that. You have to search for what you think the badge is asking for and it’s almost impossible to find. Then, you have to go all the way back and find the badge to see if that quiz counted towards it. It’s so messy and annoying. This is only one of the many, many problems. Don’t waste your time. Developers, please update this app.

So the thing I don’t understand is how the app doesn’t register in stuff that you type in? If I’m taking a sports quiz and a player’s name registers in as a correct answer in one part of category, but then the same exact person doesn’t register as a correct answer in a different part of the quiz when it is the right answer, how does that make sense? I feel like I’ve wasted my money with this purchase

The search function doesn’t work well. It’s also annoying that you can’t go through the categories by sub category like you can on the website. Some of the quizzes are so small you can’t read them. This app feels like they were halfway done developing it and decided to publish it.

I’ve been a Sporcle user for a few years but always stuck to playing on the web. I just downloaded, and PAID, for this app after clicking on a quiz that was emailed to me and it suggested I open it in the app. Funny thing is, after I downloaded the app and clicked on a quiz suggested to me by email, the app just opens on the main page and not the quiz I clicked on. This app is a supreme disappointment. When looking at your unearned badges, you can’t click on the category to play the quizzes needed the complete the badge. Not user friendly and I regret spending money on something that I won’t be using since the free method is much better. 👎🏻

Love the idea, it’s great, but this app is CRITICALLY OUTDATED. Have the developers genuinely just given up all work and settled for retirement? Why is this app still here after 3 YEARS of abandonment? Anything that has been abandoned for that long needs to be addressed, but clearly these developers just don’t care enough about making the most out of this app in terms of revenue or gain in reputation. You have seriously tarnished yourselves, devs. Look at these reviews of disgust, what are you doing? Is there no technology staff at this company? This app is representative of a horribly managed company who had a good idea that worked for a little bit before they just lost their minds.

My computer is down and I wanted to update some quizzes I posted on the site to keep them current. Even though I don’t like paying for apps, I plunked download the 2.99 because of the enjoyment I get from Sporcle. There is no way to get to your dashboard. There’s no way to search for your own created games. This would be irritating to begin with but since you do have to log in and a charge is levied to download the app it’s incredibly annoying. There are also many quizzes not playable in the format of the app. It’s very poorly developed and frustrating.

I have truly enjoyed playing sporcle on my computer for years. I was hoping for the same for my iPad. Unfortunately, did not meet up to my expectations AT ALL. Interface is horrible, just finished playing one game where you were to use the columns that contained letters to create dog breeds. When the game starts there is only one column and it was a nightmare trying to figure out the words. Maybe there will by upgrades in the future that will improve this application, but until then, save your $2.99. Bummer, just bummer.

I used to love this website back a couple years. It's a lot better on the computer because On my phone I type a letter or two and it automatically says I put a word down when I didn't. Or if I spell food it will put me down as getting "fur" right..there's many errors on this app :/ waiting for it to be fixed so I can enjoy the living daylights out of this!
