Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Sporcle for mobile is the definitive trivia experience for the intellectually curious. It manages to translate the massive library of the Sporcle website into a snappy, user-friendly app that is perfect for both quick sessions and hour-long deep dives. The variety of quiz types—from 'Clickable' and 'Multiple Choice' to the classic 'Grid'—ensures that there's a format for every subject.

What makes Sporcle addictive is the 'against the clock' pressure. Trying to name every country in Europe or every Best Picture winner in five minutes is a genuine rush. The community-driven nature of the content means there are thousands of new quizzes added daily, covering everything from quantum physics to obscure 90s pop culture. It’s clean, educational, and arguably the most content-rich trivia app on the App Store.

Love Sporcle, app is a bit buggy though
Sat Aug 05 2023 Cody Dwyer

I’m obsessed with Sporcle and love that it’s finally available in app form since responsive mode on phones didn’t really work well. The trivia games are so fun and depending on which ones you do, you can seriously learn new things. For example, I finally learned all the countries in the world & where they’re located from repeatedly playing Sporcle geography games That being said, they still really need to work out the bugs. Sometimes slide-out/pop-up panes like notifications just refuse to load and show. Their ads are also buggy and sometimes freeze the entire app. They’re also like 10x more common than on the website version. I don’t mind apps since it’s a good way for them to make money, but Sporcle should at least make sure the apps aren’t making the app freeze to the point that I have to force quit it and restart the app to get out of the freeze.

Lacking in Feature Parity compared to the Website
Tue Dec 10 2024 ThatOneStickman

The mobile app serves its job as a mobile app well, (even if the iPadOS version feels like a stretched out iPhone port,) but in terms of features compared to the website, there's a few features that are absent from this app. For example, the app doesn't have the map layout editor, nor can you use the search filters without entering a search term, which you can achieve in the website by searching for nothing. There's also weird quirks here and there, such as the picture box quizzes starting out very zoomed in, and grid quizzes using an odd custom keyboard instead of the ios keyboard, (which means you can't swipe down to use special characters on ipad.) On top of that, you can't move items in the quiz editor by dragging items, you must enter the number you want the item to move to. It's a bit difficult for me to determine if i should recommend this app or not, as the website also has quirks when used on a mobile device. I suppose it depends on what quirks you're willing to deal with. As for me, I might end up using the website instead.

Great site. Subpar app
Sun Jul 23 2023 kfuwusvd fkg

If I was just rating Sporcle I’d give it a 4.5. I love it and have played their trivia games for years. my only complaint is not being able to filter by types of quiz within categories, and there’s an over abundance of quiz types that I don’t like. Like “sort these movies into t the decade they were released” but that’s just a personal nitpick. My problem is with the app itself. It’s not at all optimized for mobile devices. Typing games are a pain. Games that take up a large amount of space aren’t sized to fit into the screen and often times you can’t scroll down and stay at a certain location. Sometimes you have to minimize your keyboard in order to see the bottom of a quiz then re-open your keyboard. It’s just not very easy when you’re trying to beat a time limit

Predatory, Ridiculous Subscription Model
Mon Apr 22 2024 Foshmaster

Just to preface, I have been a Sporcle user since 2009, and although the app is currently horrendous, I am still hopelessly addicted. This is more for people who have yet to download, or are moving from the website. I write this review since I was forced over from the previous version of the app. The new app is disgusting. Stats that were previously freely available, such as simple things like your previous best score, are behind a paywall. I understand that the developers need to make money, but the current model is atrocious. After every game you must watch a 10-20 second ad, which often hides the way to close it out, and many times forces the App Store to open. How, do you ask, can you remove these “features”? Unlike most game apps, which provide a one-time purchase of $1-$10, Sporcle has had the great idea to institute a subscription model! In order to access previously free features, you now must pay $6 a month! For a trivia app! I cannot believe this decision was made. Avoid at your own risk.

It’s a good start…

I really wanted to like this. And I was even willing to pay for it! I’ve only just been on the “learning” areas. What I can’t use, and is actually quite useless—to the point that it makes me crazy you’d expect anyone to pay for it, are: 1. Maps in the geography section that can’t be seen or zoomed in/out without any color differentiation beyond grey and black. 2. Layouts that are so poorly done that the text cuts off before they’re finished so that I can’t even fully read the multiple choice answers. 3. Thumbnail pictures that can’t be zoomed in to actually see the subject of a painting when trying to learn art and artists. Artwork names aren’t always shown with pictures. What era or school of art is never shown. I haven’t spent much time yet, but if I can make a few suggestions: 1. Zoom in/out capabilities for things w/ pictures are necessary to learn/understand. 2. Enhance with color distinction and names of other countries, major cities, geographical features, and bodies of water surrounding the focal point on maps. 3. Have a “learn” area that people can click on that is more of a study guide with all the information available in list, table, graphic form (whatever makes most sense for subject). For example, I should be able to see the entire periodic table somewhere in the “learn” area before I go into the quiz “learn” area of matching. How would anyone know what is a noble gas or where on the table it belongs to answer anything for the “learn” questions without that? 4. If I want more information on anything, there should be a way to click and hold to have a window that floats above to get a little more information without leaving the game. I have more but this is getting long. Just think about context overall.

Used to be great. Now it’s ads ads ads
Wed Aug 14 2024 TwoCutiePoos

I’m a long time fan of Sporcle, and the new version is so disappointing. It’s gone from being totally free without ads to letting you play one game and then get stuck on a long ad that won’t let you out of it for too long. And you can’t get the answers to the quiz until after the ad, so you’re stuck with the obnoxious ad. My husband and I used to play on trips or waiting for dinner in restaurants. Now it’s not worth it. Way to ruin it completely Sporcle. I wish you would have kept the old version open for people like me at least. This one is pretty but the ads are just too much and I’m not paying to make them go away. The categories are harder to access now. Finding interesting quizzes is difficult too. The same dumb quizzes you don’t want keep coming up all the time. Time limits are hard to achieve on typing quizzes, which are my favorite. You can do practice quizzes but they’re not saved. They have lots of dumb and meaningless badges that are cool if you’re 12. The information isn’t always accurate. So for people who think they can learn from the game, don’t trust it. Regular players make these quizzes. I don’t know how to report bad information so I guess it just stays out there. Not worth the cost unless you have lots of free time and money to waste.

New and not so improved
Sun Jul 28 2024 Still Yet Another Jimbo

Let me start off by saying I came across Sporcle’s app years ago and absolutely loved it. But after recently being pushed over to the newly revised app, the user experience has gone downhill. The quizzes themselves are still fantastic. But the little things like being able to download quizzes so you can access when there’s no internet or being able to see answers you missed before an ad pops up, are now non-existent. Sporcle’s beauty was in its simplicity. I used to do a few quizzes almost daily, now I rarely open the app and am almost ready to delete it. A $6/month subscription is too high especially when you couldn’t access quizzes when you’re going through a tunnel or on a train underground (prime quizzing time!!).

Ads ruin experience
Tue Jul 25 2023 haleydearest

I love that there is a sporcle app, and have used it a ton. I understand the need for ads on a free app, but the premium price is too steep for what is ultimately a phone game. With that said the current ad experience makes it really difficult to play, since you have to rewatch an ad after every attempt. Also I’ve been having ads run their full length and then become stuck so you can’t click out of them back into sporcle. Then I have to exit the app and try to find the same quiz again since there is no saved quizzes or most recent quizzes page. If we have to have ads they shouldn’t glitch out. The text input boxes often cover up much of the quiz/pictures and the zoom/cursor movements make it difficult to see the entire quiz.
