Hey,

This is a great idea!

Personally, I would really suggest "Mojo-fying" that button...

It'll flow a lot smoother in the look and feel of the app.

Just my own opinion though.

Nice work!

Nice app. I love movie trivia.

My suggestions:
1. Double space the answer choices. They are too close together and I kept touching a different answer than I meant to.

2. I got 7 out of 10 right, but which ones did I get wrong? I'd like to know.

3. I think I do better with older movies, so maybe you can have genre categories of trivia. Even actor categories. Or maybe even levels of difficulity. That way you won't be answering the same questions over and over again if you play more than once.

Nice app. I like it.

Default Fantastic idea!

I agree with susank2 and SirataXero on their suggestions. I would also like to see multi-player score tracking for challenging friends. Not sure if it's possible but maybe you could tap into IMDB's trivia section at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb).

It would be nice to have instant feedback on whether or not an answer is correct.

App has great potential.

I with this IMDB trivia section ftw!!

I love movie trivia. It would be awesome if you was able to use a database so there would be several questions and categories.

Love it, keep up the good work.

More questions and this can make it to the store

Just took the new version for a spin. I like the quotes, but for some reason some answers are not registering. If I select one answer the previous one will unhighlight...

Question #4 was "Excuse me while I whip this out"

My choices are -
Menace to Society
High Anxiety
Bart

Unfortunately, the answer is "Blazing Saddles". In fact, when I click to get the answers, it tells me that the answer to #4 is "Blazing Saddles"...which isn't an option.

I also have a scrolling issue...you can't 'grab' the answer area and scroll back up...you have to 'grab' the grey area where the questions are. So, if you inertially scroll all the way to the end...you can't scroll back up...ever.

The little circles to select the anwers are also VERY tiny. Can you increase the target area (I found myself tapping each one 2 or 3 times, trying to get it to register my answer.

I do like it a lot though!! More questions...more categories!

Thanks on all the feedback. I am working on a main selections and 3 categories per selections, it should be up and running very soon. I am trying to work on the text area field I can't resize it as of yet but in the new version you will be able to scroll back up. Another issue are the radio button size and target area, will welcome any suggestions on formatting them..

CAN EVERYONE PLEASE POST CATEGORIES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDED.
