### 1/5 — No App Support

*2024-06-30, version 1.0.17*

I’ve been locked out of the game for a month. I’ve reset my password several times and the app keeps showing, “invalid credentials.” I emailed Buzztime but no response.

### 1/5 — Why Change????

*2024-06-22, version 1.0.17*

The new Buzztime app is very amateurish than the existing Buzztime app! The old app looked so much like the in-house screen that is used at Buzztime locations!

There are glitches in the new app, so you now lack the freedom that you had before in using the mobile app. This would drive away long-time patrons, when more members are needed. 

This app was NOT designed with the client in mind!

It’s terrible and looks like it was created by a 5 year old (no offense to 5 year olds).

### 1/5 — Can’t log in from iPhone

*2024-06-13, version 1.0.17*

Everyone else at the table on Android got in. Spinny circle for the iPhone.

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2022-06-21, version 1.0.8*

Once you’ve been playing a bit, ads start appearing.  That’s fine, but they don’t go away and there’s no way to close them sometimes, even if you close the app.

### 3/5 — Why so many repeats?

*2022-02-28, version 1.0.7*

I like the game but I have only been playing a few days and have already gotten multiple repeat questions.  One question I got three times in the same hour.  How many total questions are there? And why isn’t there something to filter out repeats?

### 1/5 — WAY TOO SLOW

*2021-09-13, version 1.0.4*

The lag time on this game is more than aggravating. When it’s much faster, I’ll play more, until then it’s being deleted from my phone.

### 3/5 — Play interactive

*2021-06-06, version 1.0.2*

Would love to be able to play with friends

### 1/5 — Crash ware

*2021-05-02, version 1.0.2*

Froze my phone and refused to allow login.

### 2/5 — Too slow

*2021-04-11, version 1.0.1*

Buzztime trivia in a pub is slow for a reason. There’s no reason for the game to be this slow as an app. The trivia is great and the gameplay is just like the bar but my battery and patience just can’t give this one more than a couple of stars.

### 3/5 — Add TOPIX game

*2021-04-07, version 1.0.1*

I wish there were other games than just Countdown, and a way to play others (and NOT by FB connection!)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This game sucks

*2026-03-03, version 1.1.5*

Takes 10 mins just for the next question

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-12-20, version 1.1.3*

I can’t create an account because it says the length needs to be 6 letters. They were taken and it suggested letters and numbers. I took the suggestion and it didn’t allow it because there were numbers. Terrible setup. I miss the old days with a machine you got from the bartender.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2025-08-14, version 1.1.3*

The app stopped working after update

### 1/5 — Business Avoids

*2025-08-01*

If you’re looking to host a Buzztime Event at your business, don’t waste your time. They’ll overcharge and undersell. And when I say “undersell” I mean you won’t be able to do most of the things they advertise. And the things you can will be terrible quality

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-07-07, version 1.1.0*

Can’t even sign on.  I played a game last week, can’t get anything going now.

### 1/5 — App Not Working

*2025-03-20, version 1.0.22*

The latest update seems to have disable the app. In every aspect it appears to work fine, except that it will not let me join my bar. Works fine on my wife’s fine. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-03-03*

This app will not allow me to choose a venue. I’ve reported this before. And app support is nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-20*

I am unable to select a location. No help from developer.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-12-15*

Will not let choose a venue

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-08-14, version 1.0.18*

Doesn’t let you log in, it just spins and never loads

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fun times

*2025-09-10, version 1.1.3*

Excellent trivia game

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-05-24, version 1.0.18*

Awesome!

### 5/5 — Good classic trivia

*2025-03-04, version 1.0.22*

Good trivia lots of questions fun to play at bars

### 5/5 — Like the new look

*2025-02-23, version 1.0.21*

Much more modern look on the app.

### 5/5 — Why all the fuss?

*2024-12-13*

Lots of reviewers complain about this app. It works without issue for me. Could it be improved? Yes I believe so, but that’s strictly a personal and subjective opinion. If it gave you only one game a day, under each category and the game it gave you was the same for everyone, the leaderboard would mean more. On the other hand, I enjoy playing it several times a day. Definitely harder than Countdown in my local bar.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-04-20, version 1.0.2*

Love it

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-04-25, version 1.0.2*

Just like you find at your favorite watering hole when you want to play countdown

### 5/5 — Good Fun!

*2021-04-11, version 1.0.1*

I really like this app to use as practice for in-house trivia nights.

### 5/5 — Great memories!

*2021-04-07, version 1.0.1*

My husband and I met playing this game in a local bar. We haven’t played in quite a while and this brings back great memories. Looking forward to enhancements to the app.

### 3/5 — Great game if you can play it

*2025-10-14, version 1.1.3*

I am a longtime member of buzztime trivia 30 plus years. My local old Chicago has started having buzztime at their location but when I open the app and log in it say the nearest place playing is more than two miles away. I tried using the app support link but it takes me to a page for bar logins so I am leaving this complaint here.
