Whaatt? app review: an easy and enjoyable trivia game

Introduction

What we have here is a very cool and unique iPhone and iPad game that entails matching an image with one of four other images pertaining mostly to pop culture trivia. This game is called whaatt? and it's sure to make you exclaim that at least once while you play!

This app is available in the Games section of the App Store completely free of charge but you do need to have have iOS 7 or later installed. It also only takes up 16.6 MB of space. Let's take a closer look at how this app works.

Interactive Gameplay

What I love about whaatt? is that although it's a free game, it requires neither a long-winded registration process nor a link to your social media account in order to start, unlike other apps that present you with that annoying sign-up screen when you first open them up. It will load swiftly and immediately present you with the first question.

You'll find four images on each corner of the screen and a fifth one in the center. The center image needs to be matched with the appropriate picture and you can do so by dragging it over and dropping it onto the one you feel is the right answer.

If you get it right, you will have three options in the form of icons pop up briefly, which include a heart, a pile of excrement, and social media sharing options. These icons disappear pretty quickly so users need to act fast if they want to use any of them!

When users award the picture with either a heart or the “poop” image, these ratings appear under the image for other users, which is pretty neat.

Search For Questions & Create Your Own!

I really like the way the developer has ensured users are not limited in the questions they receive. You can search for questions by their tags so you don't have to feel left out if the trivia is unfamiliar to you.

What's more is that you can swipe left to right on the screen to pull up the menu bar which allows you to either get back to the game, create a new question, or view your scoreboard. You will need to connect with Facebook in order to view your scoreboard, but otherwise there are no sign-ups required.

This app is free and supported by ads, so you will get full-screen ads in between questions, but I personally think this is fine and to be expected. Since this game requires going from screen to screen anyway, it's easy enough to just close the ads when they show up.
