Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
App is easy to use and helpful when we need to study.
….it's not. If you don't know the correct answer you never will find out unless you play the game over and over 4 times and use the process of elimination. (20 questions each time). It's also much too fast, you can not possibly read your 4 choice answers in the time allotted. We would give this game 10 if we could have the answers, perhaps at the end. We can only Google that much, we are curious and we have only one life to live. Too bad! Too frustrating! We hope someone reads this and fixes it!!!! Great idea, great questions though! We L-O-V-E the concept.
When you dont know the right answer it doesnt tell the right. You have to keep guessing, very frustrating. Beware! Its a monthly subscription not a one time purchase $16.99+tax a month.
DK Quiz is in severe need of an update. Easy quizzes are still difficult to complete, and we don't like how an already played quiz gives you no coins if you improve on it.
This is a decent enough app. No problem with performance. We were infuriated to see that they had the wrong answer for the question about where the band REM was from. Their answer was Cleveland. They are really from Athens, GA. Georgia doesn't get credit for many good things, so we have to shake our fist. The difference in Cleveland, OH and Athens, GA is about like the difference in Philadelphia and New Orleans. England and Korea. Dang, yaw. Get with it, please.
Love this app but just downloaded latest update and it opens with a "something went wrong" error message, then keeps trying to open a random quiz, then crashes out of the app.
When we need to get our mind off if stressful things, thus us a great way to distract ourselves , have fun and realize how smart we are !!! Yippie.
Great if you want to learn while having fun.
We've played a lot of games and this is the best by far. Tons of questions.
This app is really good , you should get it if your into education , it tests you and you learn, best app so far.
This game is good for kids to practice out of school.
This game has about 10 quiz categories, and they have the same questions every time. For a better experience, we would recommend the app QuizUp or something like that.
We have many quiz apps, and by far, this is the BEST of them all!!!! OUTSTANDING app to learn a lot about many subjects!!!! We particularly love the history and geographical sections…they are EXCELLENT and have many sub-categories.
Fun app especially if you le trivia. Can play alone or online challenging friends.
Most broad-based and funnest trivia app sp far.
This game is so addicting but it can be hard sometimes but really good game.
This game is not compatible with voiceover we're 100% blind and used voice over for everything on our iPhone.
It likes to focus on european questions. And we did all about usa and its asking us about brazil and otherstuff. We do american sports and it asked us where the olympics are in 2016. Thats a world event not only american and HOW would we know thats not history yet thats the future!!'.
We do this as a family and it is very interesting facts.
This game is fun for everyone with easy and challenging questions in numerous categories! You can play for hours.
This game is a blast, great brain exercise.
We LOVE this app! We have searched and played many trivia games previous to this one and none of them are as challenging and versatile as DK Quiz ! DK Quiz provides many categories to choose from and within each category there are several subjects! Really happy with this app.
This game is really fun. Kind of quirky if you're American, e.g ladybugs are called "ladybirds." Btw, Lincoln did not run for pres during civil war. He was pres-elect when civil war started.
Fun quizzes for the family. Easy enough to challenge the kids, but we also learn new things.
These quizzes are ver enjoyable. We wish we could repeat the quiz at every level… Easy, Medium and Hard. Sandy.
Some of the questions are wrong. It tried to tell us that a quarter in basketball is 10 minutes but it's not, it's 12 minutes.
At least 20% of the answers are incorrect. And once you've played all the unlocked games, there is no way to earn more coins by replaying them – even if you answer all the questions correctly. So most of the locked games stay forever locked.
Lots of fun and we're learning as we play.
Makes us stay alert. Good variety of options.
This is an Awesome quiz centered around not so easy topics with not so easy questions. It's beaten us more than a few times. All kinds of topics. You want too download and play this as much as possible and you are learning so very much while having fun. And then you can challenge anybody that you want too if they have the guts to accept as our wife didn't good luck and enjoy this one. Fr4nk13.
Only played a few but fun so far.
Fun game. Having a time limit makes it even more fun.
We've answered about a dozen quizzes to date. There may be a slight British prejudice to some of the quizzes, but overall the questions are fair and interesting. Lots of fun.
Very fun and educational Makes you smarter And sharp.
… And this trivia game is no exception . Fun , varied categories, and very user- friendly. One of those " ya gotta love it" experiences. We recommend it highly ! " 5!!".
We really enjoy trivia games and thi is pretty good.
This game is pretty fun! And pretty hard too.
This game is awesome! Offers a lot of quiz questions and lots of categories. You can also choose to purchase more categories through collecting or buying coins.
Love this app – but when you've gone through all the quizzes, you're done. And in the app when you touch to play more quizzes on line, when it takes you to the DK site, it asks you if you want to download the app! Grrrr. Give us an update that will let us refresh with new quizzes. We would even pay for this.
Fun quizzes to test your knowledge on various topics, but these quizzes definitely originate in the UK. We didn't know a single answer to the small screen quiz because the questions were about British shows we'd never heard of.
Love the challenging quizzes. However, it's very obvious DK is a UK company which hired UK compilers of list materiel. For example, under General Knowledge, "Red and Yellow and Pink…"' there is no Leichester Square on the US Monopoly board. So, how would we know the answer? Also, the aubergine is known in the US as the eggplant. Moral of the story; great game, but expect to get some ?? Wrong if you aren't familiar with British terms. Also, there's no in-app means to contact the developer. Boo. Plus, Dorothy's slippers in the Wizard of Oz were RED (ruby is red) & "Very" is not an adverb… Irritating wrong answers.
We loved the game, when it worked. Haven't been able to play since the new release. It tells us we need to update after we already updated. We're stuck in a loop! Please fix this bug.
"Easy" is pretty difficult, we haven't tried medium yet but it's likely we won't get half of those correct.
Love this app fun quizzes good studing and VERY educational.
We love how this game challenges us! You can unlock other parts of the game by earning coins. It's worth downloading.
Very fun quizzes! Just wish playing with friends was easier, but it's still very good, and we feel like we're learning a lot of random knowledge.
This game is addicting. There are many quizzes and lots of opportunities to earn coins to unlock additional quizzes. Great app.
We like this app very much because it has good information, It helped us on our test which we have got 100% on. So our suggestion to all of you is to use this app because it is a good study tool.
DK books provides the the highest quality, most informative and enjoyable educational books one can find. Their quiz is a wonderful app in the tradition of their books second only to their online version which we also recommend. The only down side is, the quizzes are not updated, so once you've played them, and if you don't earn enough coins for them all, you can only replay the old ones.
We haven't stopped playing it to play a different game for 3 years.
