Buzzer turns your iPhone into a game-show buzzer — and every other phone at the table too. ONE BIG BUTTON Tap it, it buzzes. Loud, instant, satisfying. Pick a sound from the library, record your own, or cut one out of a video. PLAY ONLINE, TOGETHER Create a room, share the 4-letter code, and your friends buzz from their own phones — on the same Wi-Fi or across the city. The host sees who buzzed first, hands out the points, and ends the game with final results. No accounts, no sign-up: just a code. GAME MODES • Quiz — 2 to 6 players on one phone, a sound for each, first buzz locks the round. • Soundboard — a grid of your sounds, one tap to play. • Timer — a countdown that rings with the sound you choose. • Random — a buzzer that picks a sound at random. • Stopwatch — laps included. BUZZER PRO Free Buzzer gives you the big button, 5 buzzes a day and one of your own sounds. Pro unlocks unlimited buzzes, unlimited own sounds, every game mode, and hosting online rooms. Monthly, yearly, or once and for all — no free-trial tricks, no ads, ever. Joining a room is always free.
