Simply put, QuizUp is a must-have for anybody with even a passing interest in trivia. The app lets you challenge your friends or random strangers around the world to a round of head-to-head quizzery in just about any category you can think of.
QuizUp is made so inclusive by its vast array of niches available – players don’t simply pick ‘TV’ or ‘Music’ (although those options are available). Instead, you can choose specific shows like The Simpsons or Seinfeld, and specific artists like Justin Bieber or Wu-Tang Clan.
Of course the app also keeps track of your scores and head-to-head records with your friends so you can determine once and for all who definitely knows more about US state capitals or Dungeons & Dragons.
It’s very nicely designed, with a simple linear interface making it easy to challenge friends and respond to requests for games as they happen – you can play both in real time and on a turn-based basis. The bold colours and smooth visuals means it looks perfectly at home on iOS 7, but its a style sure to please Android owners too.
You can find it right now on the Google Play store, and it’s absolutely free.
