Typing, not tapping
Multiple choice tests recognition. Typing tests recall, which is the harder and more useful of the two. All 24 lists work the same way: a prompt, a countdown between 60 and 300 seconds depending on the list, and an empty field.
Free recall quiz for iPhone
One prompt, one timer and a keyboard: type every country, capital, president or element you can still remember, with no multiple choice and no submit button.
Answers register the moment the letters are unambiguous. There is no list to pick from and no button to press, so the only thing between you and the score is what you can actually recall.
The matcher strips case, accents, ß and punctuation before it compares, then allows a single typo when exactly one answer is that close. A wrong entry costs nothing at all.
The full list appears at the end with a short fact on every entry you did not get. That is the part that turns a score into something you still know next time.
Multiple choice tests recognition. Typing tests recall, which is the harder and more useful of the two. All 24 lists work the same way: a prompt, a countdown between 60 and 300 seconds depending on the list, and an empty field.
"NRW" is Nordrhein-Westfalen, "JFK" is John F. Kennedy, "Muenchen" reaches München, natrium is sodium and Zaire is still the DR Congo. The fuzzy pass only fires when exactly one answer is that close, so a typo can never quietly credit the wrong country.
One interstitial per session at most, and only on a results screen: never in your first three rounds, never within three rounds or three minutes of the last one. Those limits sit in the game logic, not in a setting that can be raised later. Beyond that there is one banner on the home screen, and a hint video only when you ask for a hint.
One category is derived for everyone from the calendar date, so the daily list is the same on every device without a server involved. Play it to hold your streak, and earn bronze, silver or gold on each category. Gold needs a full clear with no hints used.
Both content packs ship inside the app, so a round works in a tunnel or on a plane. Scores, streaks and your all-time collection of found answers are stored on the device. There is no account and no sign-in.
The game is free and 14 of the 24 lists are free with it. Manymo Pro costs $4.99 once: no ads ever again, the remaining ten lists unlocked, the limit of three free hints a day lifted, and Zen mode, which plays any list without a timer. There is no subscription and no energy system.
Every entry is checked against a named source and carries a date. You can read any list in full here before you play it.
Reading a map teaches you to recognise names. Producing 54 African countries against a clock teaches you to retrieve them, and retrieval is what an exam or a pub quiz actually asks for. The guide on memorising the countries of the world sets out the order to work through.
Most lists run 60 to 150 seconds. Nothing loads, nothing syncs and nothing asks you to sign in, so a round fits in the gap before the train arrives and finishes before it does.
The periodic table, the US presidents and the UK prime ministers are the classic learn-them-in-order lists. Manymo drops the order requirement and keeps the recall, which is usually the part that gets marked.
Bundesländer, Landeshauptstädte, Kanzler, Bundespräsidenten, Nachbarländer and the 80 cities above 100,000 people come from Bundesrat, Destatis and the federal sites, not from a translated English list.
Manymo is a free quiz game for iPhone built on one mechanic: a prompt appears, such as "name every country in Europe" or "name all US presidents", and you type as many correct answers as you can before the timer runs out. There is no multiple choice and no submit button, and an answer counts the moment you have typed enough letters to make it unambiguous.
Yes. Manymo is free to download and play, and 14 of its 24 lists are free. Manymo Pro is a single non-consumable purchase of $4.99 that removes ads permanently, unlocks the remaining ten lists, lifts the limit of three free hints a day and adds Zen mode, which plays any list without a timer. There is no subscription and no energy system.
At most one interstitial per session, and only on a results screen. The game also skips interstitials entirely for your first three rounds and never shows one within three rounds or three minutes of the previous one. All four conditions have to pass, and they are fixed in the game logic rather than in a remote setting. Apart from that there is a single banner on the home screen, and a rewarded video only if you choose to trade one for a hint.
Yes. Input is stripped of case, accents, ß and punctuation before anything is compared, so "Muenchen" reaches München and "U.S.A." reaches United States. Common short forms are stored as real alternatives, so "NRW", "JFK", "FDR", "Holland" and "Zaire" all register. On top of that a single-character slip is accepted when exactly one answer is that close, which means a typo can never quietly credit the wrong country.
No. Nothing is deducted for a wrong or unrecognised entry, so guessing is free. Points come from a base of 100 per answer, a combo chain that grows while you keep finding answers within seven seconds of each other, and a bonus if you clear the whole list before the timer ends.
Twenty four lists in two languages. In English: US states, US state capitals, US presidents, UK prime ministers since 1900, countries of Europe, EU member states, countries of Africa, countries of South America, all 193 UN member states, all 193 world capitals, football World Cup winners and all 118 chemical elements. In German: Bundesländer, Landeshauptstädte, Bundeskanzler, Bundespräsidenten, Nachbarländer, deutsche Großstädte, Länder Europas, EU-Länder, Länder der Welt, Länder Südamerikas, Fußball-Weltmeister and das Periodensystem.
One category is derived for every player from the calendar date itself, so the daily list is identical on every device and needs no server. Playing it keeps your streak alive. Separately each category awards bronze at half the list, silver at three quarters, and gold only for a full clear with no hints used.
Both content packs are bundled with the app, so every round works with no connection at all. There is no account, no sign-up and no server for gameplay: scores, streaks and your all-time collection of found answers stay on the device.
Quiz content is written in German and English. The interface is also localised into Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese.
Fifty US states or sixteen Bundesländer sound easy until the field is empty and the clock is running.
