Endless Quiz Pro

Review by eFreeware

Endless Quiz Pro is a general knowledge trivia game for Android from the developer TIMLEG. It is the paid edition of a free quiz, and the pitch is simple: an unbroken supply of questions on school-style subjects rather than celebrity gossip or movie quotes. At $2.99 with no ads and no in-app purchases, it asks for one payment and then gets out of the way.

What makes it worth a closer look is the subject range. The developer lists 21 categories, from history, geography and literature through physics, chemistry and biology to business, sports and food and drink. If your idea of a good quiz night leans toward things you might have learned in a classroom, this is built for that taste.

The app has been on Google Play since January 2017 and has passed 100,000 installs, with a 4.8 average across nearly 3,000 ratings. Those numbers suggest a settled, well-liked niche rather than a flash in the pan, and the most recent update brought new questions along with bug fixes.

General knowledge, not pub trivia

The developer is explicit that the quiz avoids questions drawn from popular culture. Everything sits inside general knowledge, and the stated aim is to let you test your level of education. That single decision shapes the whole experience: you are more likely to be asked about a treaty, an element or a composer than about a television series.

The category list backs that up. History, geography, literature, art, music and film history sit alongside physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, earth science and astronomy, with technology, mathematics, language, social sciences, philosophy, religion, business and finance, sports and food and drink rounding things out. It reads like a syllabus rather than a playlist, and it means the app can be pointed at whatever you happen to be studying or curious about.

Because the questions are tied to Wikipedia articles, each one doubles as a starting point for reading. Answering is not the end of the interaction; the developer intends for you to learn something afterward, which is a different proposition from a quiz that just keeps score.

How the extra modes change the pace

The paid edition adds three modes on top of the free version. Category quiz lets you pick the subject you want to be questioned on, which is useful when you would rather drill one field than drift across all of them. Game show frames questions with jokers and monetary levels, borrowing the structure of a televised contest. Twenty questions, meanwhile, is a sprint: twenty questions in fast succession, with the emphasis on speed rather than deliberation.

Two settings give you more control over how a run unfolds. You can have questions you answered incorrectly repeated, which turns mistakes into a second attempt rather than a lost point. You can also set the quiz to stop after each question, which slows the whole thing down and gives you room to read the linked article before moving on.

Between the category picker, the game show format and the twenty-question sprint, the app offers three quite different rhythms: study, spectacle and speed. That variety is the main argument for the paid edition over the free one, alongside the larger question pool.

Progress, Elo and other players

As in the free version, you can follow your progress through an Elo number, the rating system familiar from chess. It gives a single figure to watch over time, which suits players who like a measurable sense of improvement rather than a bare count of correct answers. The paid edition also adds statistics, so the picture is broader than one number.

The app also lets you match yourself against other players. That competitive layer is there for anyone who wants their trivia knowledge compared with someone else's rather than simply measured against their own past results.

Taken together, the Elo rating, the added stats and the head-to-head option give the paid version a sense of continuity. There is a reason to come back beyond the next batch of questions.

What the $2.99 buys

The price is $2.99, and that is the whole of it. There are no ads, and there are no in-app purchases, so nothing inside the app asks for more money once you have paid. For a trivia game, that is a straightforward arrangement: you buy it, you play it.

The developer positions this as the ad-free edition of the free quiz, with more questions, statistics and settings, plus the three additional modes. The trade is clear enough. You pay once to get the larger set of features.

It is worth weighing that against how much you expect to play. A quiz with thousands of questions and a dozen or more ways to slice them can absorb a lot of short sessions, and the absence of ads means those sessions are not interrupted. For a reader who already likes the free version, the upgrade is a question of whether the extra modes and the cleaner experience are worth the asking price.

A quiz for the studious rather than the social

The clearest thing about Endless Quiz Pro is its seriousness. By steering away from popular culture and toward academic subjects, it chooses a particular audience: people who enjoy being asked about philosophy, astronomy or social sciences and who are happy to read a Wikipedia article when they get something wrong. The linked articles and the stop-after-each-question setting make that studious approach easy to adopt.

The game show mode and the twenty-question sprint add lighter options, and the Elo rating and player matching give it a competitive edge for those who want one. But the core remains a long, calm stream of general knowledge questions, and the app is at its best for someone who finds that appealing in itself.

If you want a trivia game built around films, music charts or television, this is not the subject matter it deals in. If you want one that treats general knowledge as the point, the range of categories, the Wikipedia links and the absence of advertising make a coherent case for the paid edition.

A considered purchase for regular quizzers

Endless Quiz Pro is a well-defined product: a $2.99 ad-free general knowledge quiz with 21 categories, three extra modes, statistics, an Elo rating and Wikipedia links behind every question. It has a long track record on Google Play, a 4.8 average from a substantial number of ratings, and a recent update that added questions and fixed bugs.

I would suggest it to anyone who already plays the free version regularly and wants the larger question set and the additional modes without advertising. It also suits readers who prefer their trivia drawn from school subjects and who like the idea of following a link to learn more after each answer.

The main consideration is simply whether that subject range matches your interests. If general knowledge is what you want to be tested on, this is a tidy, one-time purchase that does exactly that.
