Every sound, every mode and not a single ad. The Ultimate Buzzer Pro is the complete version of The Ultimate Buzzer: a big red button and more than 85 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. HOST A GAME SHOW Turn trivia night into a real game show for up to 8 players. Players open The Ultimate Buzzer or The Ultimate Buzzer Pro on their own iPhone or iPad and buzz in. You see who was first, down to a fraction of a second, mark the answer right or wrong and keep score, or turn on Play Too and buzz in yourself. Set the points, decide whether wrong answers cost points, and let players pick their own color and buzzer sound. When the game ends, everyone sees the final standings with confetti, plus a results card to share or save to Photos. Everyone connects over your local network, so nobody needs an account. RECORD YOUR OWN Turn a laugh, a catchphrase or the dog's bark into a button. Recordings can be up to 10 seconds, with a live waveform while you record. Silence is trimmed automatically, and your sounds sync to your other devices through iCloud. You can also import an audio file as a sound, and share your recordings with friends. ON YOUR TV Turn on AirPlay Screen Mirroring while you host and the scoreboard fills the TV, with the player who buzzed in first shown big. Pro also unlocks The Ultimate Buzzer for Apple TV through iCloud, so you can host right from the TV. KIDS MODE Big, bouncy buttons with animals, trains and other favorites, five themes (Rainbow, Ocean, Space, Jungle and Candy) and stars and trophies to earn. A grown-up has to solve a math problem to leave, and you can 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. All sounds are in the public domain.
