Works great for classrooms or events where you don’t want to bother with a website and want a visually stunning buzzer. ### 5/5 — Good app *2014-05-28* Works well and is worth the $2. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2013-06-27* We've bought it and it is not working... ### 1/5 — Worst game *2013-03-19* Worst game ever got it to work the first day and then the next day it quit not worth what I paid for it ### 1/5 — Sorry one star unless it actually.... *2011-12-25* 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. ### 1/5 — poor app *2011-08-27* The developers had good intentions but they got bored and worked on something else. The app has no reset ability, no way to discover new devices, and no help or information within the app. If it were free it wouldn't be worth it but charging $1.99 is criminal. ### 4/5 — Durchaus brauchbar *2010-10-18* Habe mir das Programm für eine "große" Quizveranstaltung geholt, ca. 40 Teilnehmer in vier Gruppen, jede Gruppe ein iPhone. Funktionsumfang ist in Ordnung und die Bedienung der App ist leicht. Problem, man braucht ein vorhandenes W-Lan. Es wäre Besser, wenn die Geräte ein eigenes Netz aufbauen könnten. Außerdem musste vor jeder neuen Runde überprüft werden, ob alle Geräte einen grünen Buzzer haben, sprich bereit sind, ist bei einer großen Gruppe mit entsprechendem Lärmpegel auf Dauer schwierig. Ich musste den "Rundenstarter" teilweise drei bis vier mal senden bis alle Geräte bereit waren. Es kam auch bei einigen Geräten zum Absturz der App. Mein Fazit: Eine schöne App zum Buzzern mit Anzeige wer Erster, Zweiter usw. war. Freie Textantwort und multiple choice möglich. Sehr einfache Bedienung. In kleineren Gruppen durchaus Brauchbar aber da es nicht immer stabil läuft ist es in großen Gruppen >40 Mitspieler ein gewagtes Experiment. Wenn es zu Verzögerungen durch Ausfall der Technik kommt steigt die Lautstärke an und der Spielspaß geht verloren. Wagt man es dennoch, sollte man ein stabiles W-Lan aufbauen und vorher ausreichend testen und nicht vergessen, dass iPhone ist kein Buzzer zum draufhauen :-) Wenn es etwas stabiler ist und unabhängig von einem externen W-Lan läuft gibt es auch noch den 5ten Stern. ### 3/5 — Almost useful *2010-07-06* Can you add support for Bluetooth connection? Needing the wifi connection seems unnecessary. ### 1/5 — Doesn *2010-02-11* Tested with four different iPhones on three different wireless networks. Twice we got it working, but only for a couple minutes before the connections dropped. The phones were within feet of the access point and the only devices using the access point. App should also have some debugging/configuration settings to help it find devices correctly. Wasted $8 (four phones) ## Frequently asked questions about Buzzer ### What is Buzzer?

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! ### 2.6 — 2017-09-06 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Added 64 bit support Better indication of which multiple choice picked after selecting. Still backwards compatible (so you can use your old iOS devices as buzzers). Made sure that device auto-lock doesn't trigger when on the buzzer screen (should make testing and setup easier). More options and better interface coming soon! Be sure to update in order to get rewarded for your support. ### 2.5.1 — 2012-04-24 ⚡ fixed bug where list of users would not scroll 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Your 5-star ratings and reviews help encourage frequent updates!👌 Thanks for your support!👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⚠If you have any problems or want to see something new, send an email to 📩 support@kudit.com ### 2.5 — 2011-06-06 Bug fixes and improvements to guest/host communication.
