Downloaded it and it seems as it could be really cool, especially with some more content and polish! Some feedback that I discovered right now: - The video view can't be rotated, not even in fullscreen. - Sometimes I got the same thing as I had before when pressing the shuffle button. - In the main view you should perhaps indicate what the different colors mean, with an icon or some text. - In the quiz section the layout is sometimes a bit awkward with long questions. There seems to be a lot of whitespace above the question, but you still have to scroll within a tiny scrollview. - The Pong-game seems to have a bit of a low frame rate at my iPhone 5. - The bee game seems a bit pointless to me, especially with the time counter having the hh:mm:ss format. It rarely took more than a few seconds for me to find the bee.

I however like the concept. And I think that if you perhaps focus your effort on a few of the categories and make them filled with nice content in a slick manner, this could really be a great app.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

- I know the video view can't be full screen, I couldn't make it work. I even asked on stackoverflow with no success.

- The same thing when you press random is a bit annoying, I agree, but I didn't think that would be a big problem. I will definitely change that in the update.

- I wanted the main page to be as simple as possible, for the user to have that 'oh, what does this button do' and have the 'look what I found' moment. I will change that also since it didn't do what I intended.

- I honestly don't know what to change at the Quiz layout. If you can give me some suggestions, that would be great.

- Low frame rate? That's odd, I'll look into it.

- I wanted to have some games in the app as well and these are the simplest I could find and modify. The counter is a bit too much, I agree.

Thanks again, your feedback will surely be used in the update.
