Exactly what I need for Jeopardy!

It has the first to buzz in, score keeping and even correct or incorrect response.
However it keeps kicking out players during local play.

Between the three of us playing, it kept shutting each of us out… one after another …over and over… 🤷🏼‍♂️ We ended up clapping hands to see who was first.

What a waste

It kept shutting down and kicking us out while playing jeopardy. Very annoying and we couldn’t use it.

Great app

The local works great but the big room needs work. It says can’t host. Otherwise great app.
