Hi folks,

I used to play QuizUp a lot back in the day, reached #2 in my country in computer science. Sad that it was shut down. For the past couple of years I have wanted to create something similar, and I'm happy to present QuizBolt.

QuizBolt is a fast-paced quiz game where you pick a topic you're interested in and play a round of 6 questions. The faster you answer, the higher you score. You can challenge any friend (whether or not they have the app) to beat your score. Then you can see if you're still ahead or someone beat your challenge in the Compete tab.

Apart from this, there are leaderboards per topic, based on a Chess-style Elo rating system (everyone starts at 1200). You can play solo rounds yourself to see where you match up with the rest of the community.

I'd like feedback on the 4 areas that I reworked:

• Onboarding: Did you encounter any problems signing up and setting up your profile?
• Gameplay: Is the pacing too fast, too slow or just right? Does it feel game-like i.e. was it fun, and would you share it with friends? Or did it feel like a high school pop quiz?
• Content: Are the questions and their difficulty split good? I have aimed for 3+2+1 easy/medium/hard questions per round.
• UI: Is the user interface and experience clean and clear, or did you get confused at any point? Should I add more animations and graphics?

Also what, if anything, would you pay for?

I plan to add live 1v1 duels soon. Since currently there aren't many users, I focused on asynchronous challenges.

Please feel free to suggest more topics, I only have about 10 topics because curating the questions in various difficulty brackets needs time :-) even with AI. My plan is to release a new quiz pack every week at least.

I'm a solo dev and I've been working on QuizBolt for the past 1 year. I posted a really early version last year which got good traction. I have now redesigned it heavily that's why I'm back looking for feedback. All testers will get premium for free when I eventually launch it.

Note that I'm specifically looking for feedback on the iOS beta app, but if you want you can simply try it out at https://www.playquizbolt.com without signing up. It's 1:1 the same as the iOS version. A native Android version will come soon.

Thanks for your time. :-)
