This app enhances game play with the new Pointless Board Game, which will be in stores soon. Play the Pointless board game and use this FREE app to have your very own electronic scoreboard. The Question Master for your game will programme it to reveal your score for each answer, just like on the TV show! It will also keep records of your team or individual scores, pointless trophies won, and who is the current pointless champion. This is the perfect companion to the Pointless board game, allowing you to recreate this top BBC 1 quiz show in your own living room. It is NOT a Pointless game in its own right; and does not contain Pointless questions. It can only be used with the Pointless board game. Will you be the next Pointless champion?

We are pleased that you are using our tonies app. Our App-Tonies are always hard at work for you. In this update, they have once again worked on improvements. If your mobile phone memory is full during a recording, you can now save your recording until then. We have also optimised some steps in the setup process of the Toniebox: The request for access rights has been corrected. WLAN names (SSIDs) can now also be entered manually. Occasionally, it can happen that the set up process was successful despite the code word "hedgehog". This is now displayed. Do you have questions or feedback? The Tonie customer service is there for you in your profile.
