This article will help you know the best and free trivia apps for movie and TV buffs.
Do you take constant trips to the theater? Can’t tear yourself away from Netflix? Are the one people turn to for an obscure film recommendation? It sounds like you’re a movie and TV buff.
But just how much of a film fanatic are you? To test it out, and to have fun competing against friends and family, you should try some movie and TV show trivia apps. We’ve rounded up the best free ones for Android and iOS.
1. PopcornTrivia
PopcornTrivia is a fantastic trivia app for many reasons. First, it covers hundreds of movies and TV shows, across a range of genres and decades. You can select a specific movie to quiz yourself on, with plenty of questions to keep you busy.
Second, the questions are genuinely fun, taxing, and varied. You might need to identify an obscure character from a line-up, or listen to some of the soundtrack and identify which scene it is from. When the answer is revealed, you get an interesting behind-the-scenes fact, like where it was shot or a quote from an actor.
The fewer attempts you take to get the answer correct, the more points you earn. You can also use lifelines, like ask the audience, if you really get stuck. You can cash in these points to customize your anthropomorphic popcorn avatar, which is something nice to work towards.

2. Guess the Movie
How good are you at naming a movie? Guess the Movie presents you with hundreds of illustrations and it’s your job to figure out what film they represent. It sounds easier than it is.
To help you out, there are a bunch of letters beneath the picture that you tap to spell out the name of the movie. You won’t need all of them, though, so be careful. You can spend points to get clues if needs be.
Guess the Movie is split into different packs, which you can only progress to once you get a certain number of correct answers. Good luck racking your brain for that one film you swear you’ve seen, but you just can’t recall…

3. Cinerama
It’s all very well recognizing a movie from the poster or the lead actor, but how about a diagram? That’s the challenge you’re faced with in Cinerama, which creatively describes the plot through icons, symbols, and numbers.
Of course, you’re going to have an advantage if you’ve actually seen the movies described, but you can call upon various clues if you get stuck. For example, you can see the first letter or select the answer from a choice of three.
The fewer hints you use, the more points you earn, which you can then use to compare against your friends. Plus, every time you get the right answer, you’re rewarded with an interesting tidbit about the creation of the movie.

There are multiple versions of each category (by decade and nationality, for example), each packed with a hundred unique questions.
The more correct answers you give, the more coins you earn. These can be traded for hints on the tougher questions, like revealing some of the letters in the film’s title. But why not challenge yourself? See how far you can get without any help. You are a movie buff, after all!

6. Popcorn Quiz
Popcorn Quiz can be enjoyed by all ages, but with its bright graphics and fun music, it’ll certainly appeal to youngsters. You’re shown a colorful cartoon representing something from a movie or TV show. The aim is simple: guess which one it’s from.
It’s multiple choice, and never really gets that tricky, but it’s a fun distraction. There’s also harder modes where you have to remember the object’s color or stop the timer when the object matches the title.
There are hundreds of levels to work through, so you won’t run out of trivia quickly, and you can always use the hints if you get stuck. In fact, there’s a nice in-built sharing option, which lets you quickly share the clue with friends in other applications to get their help.
