What's New in Game Show Studio

3.0

February 27, 2023

This version comes with many new features and a fresh new design that enables the host to run their shows more smoothly than ever. New in version 3, the host can prepare a game before getting everyone together to play, so that the host can transition easily from one round to the next. Rounds in prepared games can have preplanned rules (e.g. scoring and timing rules) and question sets. Game Show Studio 3 brings significant updates to hosting layouts, providing a great hosting experience, regardless of the host's device's screen size. On iPad, the host can take advantage of the large screen to have one-touch access to all of the game's important controls and to have the most expansive view of game information. Game Show Studio also works great in split screen mode on iPad. Regardless of the screen size, the most important information, like the Teams Pane, always remains visible, so that the host can have quick access to scores and to see who buzzed in. iPhone provides a great hosting experience, as well, with layouts designed with the smaller screen sizes in mind. There are lots of other updates in this version to discover as well, all carefully designed to help you put on a great game show experience!

User reviews

Good stuff

Agree with other reviews.
One improvement would be to allow the second and third respondents to show up as well. That would allow the next person who buzzed in to answer the question in case the first respondent git it wrong.

iPad hosting Problems

The most recent Version of the app seems to crash on iPad in hosting mode for iOS 13.2.2

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! This issue was fixed on December 16, 2019 in version 2.3.4.

You got it

This app is grate love the app it is so fun to play I am a v/o user and love the app

How many people can the app support?

We bought the full hosting version of the app after testing it with just two people. However, when we went to play with the 30 people at our party, we got a warning about how the app might not work very well with so many people connected ... when I had only taken four people! We decided to skip the app and go old school. If the app can’t handle many people, it should say so. If it can, the warning shouldn’t be given.

Almost

Although already very good, 3 additional things would make this app just about perfect:

1) allow importing of sound cues via iTunes or iTunes file sharing

2) allow custom point values to be assigned on a per-question basis

3) have an option to display the text of the question being asked on the Apple TV display, with an option to have the buzzers muted until the question is fully read.

Add those and it’s an easy 5 stars.
