## What is Bingo Fever?

Bingo Fever brings Tambola night (Housie, Bingo) to your table for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One person hosts, everyone else joins over the same Wi-Fi, and the app calls the numbers, hands out tickets, and checks every claim. No ads, no sign-up, no servers.

HOST THE ROOM
- Draw and call 1 to 100, by hand or on an auto-timer, with the classic spoken nicknames
- Assign 1 to 6 tickets per player, see a live winners board, and validate every claim
- Undo a claim, remove a player, and export a signed audit log of the whole game

JOIN IN A TAP
- See a live list of nearby rooms, or type the 4-letter code, or scan the host's QR
- Play on the same Wi-Fi with no account and no setup

SIX WAYS TO WIN
- Early Five, Top / Middle / Bottom Line, Four Corners, and Full House - each claim checked by the host

MAKE-YOUR-OWN BINGO
- Build custom Bingo cards (words, numbers, or photos), lock them so they cannot be changed, and play them live with the host

PLAY TOGETHER
- Room chat with emoji and photos
- Run several games at once from the hub
- A bold "Funky" design with color themes, adjustable text size, and game sounds

Bingo Fever is free, contains no advertising and no in-app purchases, and does not collect your personal data. Everything happens on your device or between players on your local network. It is for entertainment only: there is no real-money gambling, and any prizes are within the game and have no cash value.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-16

A big free update.

Play from one phone: new Solo practice and a built-in Caller run the whole game without a second device. Pick a caller voice style and accent to set the mood.

Track your play: game history, stats, achievements, and Game Center leaderboards.

More to enjoy: choose which prizes are in play, new color themes, richer game sounds, haptic taps, and a full-house confetti celebration. A quick first-run tutorial helps newcomers start fast.

Better on every screen: redesigned layouts fill iPad and Mac, and players reconnect automatically if Wi-Fi drops.

Still free, local, and private. No ads, no accounts.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-06

This update adds game sounds across the app: number calls, ticket marks, claims, and wins. Plus polish and fixes throughout. Host a Tambola or Housie night over Wi-Fi, call 1 to 100, hand out tickets, and validate Early Five, lines, corners, and Full House. Chat with photos, run several rooms at once, and build your own custom Bingo cards free, local, no ads.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-03

No release notes.
