A trivia app that will challenge your brain with questions from all areas of life. Will you pass with flying colors, or finally be put in your place?
Opening superlative aside, Knowledge Trainer is built around the idea that we all can benefit from a good base of general knowledge. From the periodic table to film trivia, Knowledge Trainer gives your mind a workout in ten categories. As you answer the questions, Knowledge Trainer will record and tally your score and give you personal statistics on the areas you need to improve in. You can run through individual sections in the Improve Knowledge feature to review the questions you missed until you master them.
The questions shift quickly from mind-numbingly simple to Albert Einstein-level difficulty, adjusting automatically to your performance. When it comes to localized questions, Knowledge Trainer can use location information to give you questions based in both the US and the UK. If a friend also wants to play, they can do so without messing up your score since Knowledge Trainer gives you three profiles that are scored independently.

Knowledge Trainer is a fantastic game that has the added goal of increasing your knowledge about the world around you. For the Mac addicts, Knowledge Trainer also has a bonus game that serves up 100 trivia questions about Apple.
Knowledge Trainer weighs in at $4.99 which is a great price for such a rich trivia game. If you already have Knowledge Trainer, let us know what your score is in the comments.
