While this product has great potential, this version has some serious limitations. The biggest issue is that, as far as I can tell, you can only create and store ONE quiz at a time, and if you want to create a 2nd quiz you basically are replacing the 1st quiz you created and stored, with the 2nd quiz. Given the time and effort involved in creating and recording each question, the required four answer choices for each question, and specifying the correct answer choice for each question, why would I want to be limited to storing only ONE quiz (set of questions and answers) at a time? Maybe I'm missing something but I thought I'd be able to create and store multiple quizzes, and then be able to decide which Q&A set to replay. For example, a teacher would want to create separate math, science, spelling, history, etc... quizzes and store them all and replay them as needed, but they can't with this current version.

There's also a distinction that is made between quiz "types" (10Q and Freestyle) that I don't see a reason for. A "10Q" quiz is a quiz that must have exactly 10 questions in it. And a "Freestyle" quiz is a quiz that can have from one question to as many questions as you'd like within the limits of the recordable time. Again, I might be missing something, but I don't see the need for the "10Q" quiz type if you can just create a "Freestyle" quiz with 10 questions anyhow.

Needed improvements in Quizzillion 2.0:

1) The ability to simultaneously create and store several different quizzes.

2) The ability to select any one of those quizzes for replaying, editing, or deleting.

3) More memory for recording purposes.

4) Make it harder to be able to accidently wipe out a quiz. It's way to easy to just wipe out all the work you've put into a quiz.

The positives:

- Seems to be sturdy and well made.

- Even with this limited capability version, it is a lot of fun for the kids.

- The LED lighting is great.

I'm looking forward to a future version where I can record a "zillion" quizzes in my Quiz-"zillion".
