Sometimes a moment just needs a buzzer. The Ultimate Buzzer puts a big red button in your pocket, along with more than 75 sound effects for game nights, classrooms, parties, pranks and the occasional perfectly timed rimshot. Tap a sound and it plays right away. Tap a few and they play together. PICK HOW IT WORKS • Multi Sound: a grid of sounds you can tap as fast as you like, even several at once. • Big Button: pick a sound and it fills the screen as one giant button. Made for trivia, quizzes and anyone who likes to slam things. • Dual Big Button: two giant buttons side by side on iPad, or on iPhone Duo when it's open, for head-to-head rounds. GAME SHOW NIGHT Turn trivia night into a real game show for up to 8 players. Everyone opens the app on their own iPhone or iPad and buzzes in, and the screen tells them when to go. The host sees who was first, down to a fraction of a second, marks the answer right or wrong and keeps score, and can buzz in too. When the game ends, everyone sees the final standings with confetti, plus a results card to share or save to Photos. Players connect to the host over your local network, so nobody needs an account. Joining a game is free. Hosting comes with Pro. KIDS MODE Big, bouncy buttons with animals, trains and other favorites, plus stars and trophies to earn. Any ads in Kids Mode are G-rated, and a grown-up has to solve a math problem to leave. You can even set the app to open straight into Kids Mode. A SOUND FOR EVERYTHING Buzzer, applause, drum roll, rimshot, wah-wah, epic fail, siren, alarm clock, countdown, crickets, cuckoo clock, rooster, cow, UFO and plenty more. They're sorted into Alarms, Animals, Vehicles, Funny, Action, Effects, Around the House and Nature, and you can search or keep your favorites at the top. THE LITTLE EXTRAS • SharePlay: on a FaceTime call, tap a sound and everyone hears it. • Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center: play a sound without opening the app. • A flashlight button for when the lights go out. • Pick any accent color and the whole app follows. GO PRO Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes ads on all your devices and adds: • 10 more sounds • Recording your own sounds, up to 10 seconds each, plus importing audio files and sharing your recordings • Hosting game shows • Every Kids Mode theme: Ocean, Space, Jungle and Candy Not sure yet? Watch a short ad to try a Pro sound free for 24 hours, or to record a sound of your own. Choose Just Me, or Family to share Pro with up to 5 family members through Family Sharing. Already have The Ultimate Buzzer Pro app? Open it once and this app unlocks too, through iCloud. All sounds are in the public domain.
