Additionally, users have noted issues with misspellings and grammatical errors, as well as performance problems that lead to system crashes.
“Everything about the trivia vault titles screams 'lack of effort,' from the late-90s clipart-esque backgrounds and interface graphics, to the high-contrast font colors (with text that sometimes doesn't even properly fit into the boxes), to the occasional misspellings and grammatical errors, to whatever programming causes it to hog up your system resources and crash.”
