Freerice

Love Freerice but some of the categories are too annoying. The categories Flags of the World and Identify Countries on the Map require you to complete the extra step of clicking on the image to see what it’s asking and then choosing the correct answer every single time; it dissuades users from doing those categories. There’s enough room for the image and the multiple choice options but they put in the extra step. Would love to see this changed so it’s easier to answer questions and donate money!

Right off the bat, let me just say that this app is for a great cause and I’m super stoked that this lets me contribute. But right now the app is super glitchy. I only downloaded about half an hour ago as of writing this review and the amount of errors I’ve gotten is remarkable. When I tap on an answer, it can take upwards of five full seconds before I get a response, and often it just ends up with a long error message anyway. Restarting the game does nothing but take away all my progress so that’s not fun. I was referred to this app through Instagram as a way of helping Yemen, it’s being spread a lot so maybe the servers are being overloaded or something? I see a lot of people who’ve recently reviewed with the same problem. Anyway. Please fix as soon as you can!

I was happy to see that Free Rice had a mobile app after having played on desktop years ago. A couple things I’ve noticed... 1) When I reach level 3 of the Identify Countries on the Map category, it cycles through the same 30 some-odd (estimation) countries and doesn’t progress to level 4 or 5. I checked the “difficulty level” tab, and levels 4 and 5 are unavailable - is this because I haven’t reached them yet? Even if this is the case, I’ve cycled through the same countries many times and haven’t progressed. Not sure if this is a bug, or if the game developers have yet to offer levels 4 and 5 (which would be greatly appreciated!). 2) In the World and Canadian Geography section, the diagrams that go along with the questions do not always appear (can click on the “tap to show image” selection, but screen is blank behind it). Thanks!

I love the idea that you can give rice to those in need while simultaneously educating yourself about covid and various other subjects. The first day I used this app, it was fine for the most part, but today, I don’t know if it’s me or the app but it’s causing me trouble. I have difficulty answering questions because they keep denying my input and it takes a few times for it to register. I had to restart once because it kept glitching and wouldn’t let me proceed because it couldn’t get my input, as well as pick the wrong answer when I didn’t even press it. I’d love to help, but why is this becoming a challenge?

Have fond memories from using this in school! I use to feel so proud of myself for learning new words and helping contribute to a cause. I was very pleased to find that now they have an app!! The app is great! straight forward, easy to follow and very intuitive. Great vocabulary builder with different levels of difficulty, makes for a great way to pass the time and learn some new words. And it feels good to know you’re helping work towards something, however small it may be.
