Sounds neat. Has anyone here tried it? I might buy it if people think it's really good. I've got to say though, the reviews on the google app store are getting the side-eye from me. Lots of five star reviews that praise the features listed in the marketing. That's not all there is to it, but I'm not quite sure how to convey why they seem fake.. Did anyone else get that feeling?

I (for one) read through all the reviews and didn't get the feeling that they were fabricated (probably because I personally know 90% of the people and have seen their feedback on other forums (I.e. Facebook). Having said that, the app. does indeed have some areas for improvement, as enumerated by several folks here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We are using Flurry to track usage (pretty standard among apps) and it uses the location information to show the usage of app by Country and City. We don't explicitly collect your location information and our privacy policy clearly states that we don't share any information with any one.

If it's just getting country/city data, you should only be requesting "course" location permission. You're requesting "fine" location, which will give the user's precise lat/long. You might want to change that.

According to androidpit, they need course location. Not sure how they got this info though.

android.permission.ACCESS_COURSE_LOCATION

*On the permissions page, it says 'fine location as well'

Selling on a $5 price for quiz question seems much more than I expected. After all, its free material all over the internet. Dont really expect to learn anything from a quiz, but to remind of things. To be honest, I was quite surprised it is "Paid App".

The cost per problem is a lot lower than books that offer the same content, so it seems reasonable.
