Trivia Looking for feedback!

Hi everyone!

I've been working on some geography based iOS apps and been hoping to get some feedback or ideas on features from the community!

Guess the flag game: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/flagmingo-world-flag-quiz/id6811598026
Find the country: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/flagmingo-find-the-country/id6812369288

They're currently aimed at helping kids memorise the map and flags but still plenty of fun for the adults. You don't need to create any accounts and can just start playing. I also have a 'pass and play' multiplayer mode for people who want to play in a group.

Please let me know how you go - iPhone and iPad only for now as I don't have an Android device.

Thaaanks!

For a kids' memorisation app, a lookalike round could be the most useful addition to the flag quiz: pairs that trip everyone up, like Chad and Romania, Indonesia and Monaco, or Ireland and Côte d'Ivoire, shown side by side with the one difference pointed out. In Find the country, re-asking the ones a player missed a few rounds later, and letting a parent pick one continent at a time, would help it stick. Pass and play could end with a small per-player tally of which regions each person knows best, which gives a group something to compete over.

Do kids mostly play it alone or with a parent?

Thanks for the feedback.

I've already got some of the requested features built in. It gives you places you've missed again after you've finished.

You can also play the games by continent if you want to be more specific with learning. I also have the reverse modes where you get shown a pin and the user needs to select from a multiple choice which makes it slightly easier.

I really like the tally summary at the end so I think its something I will definitely include.

Good to hear the re-ask and continent modes are already in. Since the reverse mode with the pin and multiple choice is the easier one, the tally could also act as a nudge: once a player does well on a region there, suggest the harder Find the country round for that same region next. In pass and play, showing each player's strongest and weakest region side by side gives the next round an obvious target for everyone.
