I love the idea and like the game play. The app is a disaster. Cannot create an account, cannot login, must play as guest but only able to get to lvl7 before game starts showing a server error and will not load any levels. Plus there are misspellings everywhere, quiz questions are terrible. Game is played in a tiny area while rest of screen space is wasted... Really unfortunate execution of a cool idea.

Thanks for your review. We were in the process of updating our servers and this issue should be resolved now in the latest version. This app is designed for tablets only but we hope to have a mobile version soon. In regards to spelling mistakes, please let us know where you might have found any and we will resolve this in the next release.

two stars because I know the program is really really cool, but the app totally disables the "soft" keys my phone uses to exit the program or switch apps, so I can't navigate away at all. i had to restart my phone to switch from the app! Very bad bug for a very exciting piece of software.

The control doesn't work most of the time. Have to swipe about 10 time to get one, and also hard move only on one step. Needs zoom in or something. Edit: It turns out this app is not optimised for the mobile. I hope developer will consider to do that. The purpose of game is great, just needs improving to be usable on mobile.
