Description
Most face quizzes stop at today's celebrities and show a name, nothing more. Portraits covers 1,158 people across 13 fields, from Nefertiti to Bowie, and tells a short hand-written life story after every answer. Faces you miss come back after one day, three days, then a week, so you end up remembering them. Four modes, including typing the name and ordering portraits by date. Works offline, in English, French and Spanish. No ads: 150 portraits free, then one purchase.
