## Frequently asked questions
### What is Wiseroll?
Wiseroll is a free mobile app that replaces doomscrolling with a feed you can feel good about. You swipe through "rolls" — 30-second quiz questions, numeric puzzles, photo questions and short knowledge clips — posted by channels you follow, and the app tracks your streak, accuracy and brain time.

### How does "roll to scroll" work?
On Android, Wiseroll can guard the apps you choose (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X…). When you open a guarded app, Wiseroll steps in and asks you to solve one roll first. Get it right and the app opens. It adds about 20 seconds of friction — enough to break the autopilot reach for your phone without locking you out.

### Is Wiseroll a brain-training app?
Partly. Wiseroll has 25 daily logic and word games (Crowns, Mini Sudoku, Pixel nonograms, Word Ladder, Five, Colours and more) with an endless level ladder per game. But most of the feed is knowledge: trivia, exam prep, science, history, money and culture, built on retrieval practice — the study technique shown to roughly double long-term recall compared with rereading.

### Is Wiseroll good for UPSC, SSC, NEET or JEE preparation?
Yes. Wiseroll launched with channels for Indian exam aspirants — polity, modern history, geography, economy, environment, general knowledge, current affairs, defence, CAT quant, NEET biology, JEE physics and chemistry — bundled as starter packs (UPSC, SSC, Defence, Banking, Railways, CAT, NEET-JEE). Every card has an explanation, so a wrong answer is a two-line revision note.

### Is Wiseroll free?
The feed, today's puzzles and the roll-to-scroll guard are free. Wiseroll+ removes ads and unlocks the Games & Puzzles Room — every level of every game.

### Which platforms is Wiseroll on?
Wiseroll is built for Android and iOS. Join the waitlist on this page to get the download link the day it goes live. The app-guard feature ships on Android first because iOS does not let third-party apps intercept other apps.

### How long is a session on Wiseroll?
As long as you like, but the app is designed around a daily goal — 10, 20 or 30 rolls — and tells you when you have hit it. A typical session is three to six minutes.

### Where does the content come from?
Most rolls are written by the Wiseroll editorial team and reviewed for accuracy; a small share of general trivia comes from the Open Trivia Database (CC BY-SA 4.0), credited in the app. Channels are official accounts today; creator channels are on the roadmap.
