What's New in Buzzer

3.0.11

March 19, 2025

DO NOT UPDATE if you have older devices that cannot get the update (iPhone 7 or earlier, iPad mini 4 or earlier, iPad Air 2 or earlier, or iPad 4th gen or earlier). If all your devices can run iOS/iPad OS 16+ or are Apple Silicon macs or are Apple Vision Pro, then you’re good to update. Interoperability with our original version is still being worked out and we are awaiting feedback from Apple to fix. The older version of the app still works fine on all devices, however, we are being forced by Apple to issue an update in order to keep the older version of the app in the store on older devices. This new version is completely re-written to use modern technologies and frameworks (which now requires a minimum of iOS 16 for the new version, however, older devices can still download our old version which we would like to get working with the new app!) New app icon and design upgrades which are deliciously clean and clear on any screen size! No more black bars or fuzzy images on retina devices! Added a new support framework so you can get support directly from within the app! New monetization model means anyone can now download the app for free! Hosting games now costs tokens which can be gotten by watching ads or in-app purchases. If you prefer an ad-free and token-free experience, there are in-app purchases that will fully unlock the app and remove the freemium model to work like a traditional app purchase. And as a bonus of the full unlock, all your clients will not see ads either!

Great tool!

This tool works exactly as advertised. Works great for classrooms or events where you don’t want to bother with a website and want a visually stunning buzzer.

Good app

Works well and is worth the $2.

Broken app

We've bought it and it is not working...

Worst game

Worst game ever got it to work the first day and then the next day it quit not worth what I paid for it

Sorry one star unless it actually....

Sorry one star unless it actually do what it promises and it's a great promise.

The promise is that you can conceivably play a board game, say like ... family feud.

A buzzer would be ideal. Check.
Well two buzzer. One per player. Check.
A host controls the play. Check.
Various play modes. Check.
Actually works.... ahhh NO.

First opening it asks if I want to"Host" or "play". Great. I pick host. Open next itouch. Start app. Pick "play".... nothing. Try several times. Fail.

Now it asks me play
1. First to buzz
2. Multiple choice
3. Free response

I select first to buzz. It says "waiting for players"
Open other itouch. I get the same choices. I select first to buzz. Only now supposedly it still thinks I am "hosting" or something and says "waiting for players". Snafu. No cancel to restart from beginning.

I will delete and reinstall and try again.

If it fails again I want my money back.

############
Update.
Deleted the app and reinstalled on both devices. It seem to be waiting for a question and likely the third participant. So I'll try it again with our third device. It it actually works. I'll raise the stars.

Update 2
Just added the third person and it had three entirely different conditions.
1. Looking for players
2. Looking for host
3. Blank screen with no appropriate UI

Fail.
