Description

Trivia Bowl Buzzer is perfect for any fast-paced, Jeopardy!-style trivia competition (many such competitions are called Scholars' Bowl, Quiz Bowl, or Academic Bowl). Players use separate devices to buzz into the Game Host's device. Upon buzzing, the Player's device sounds and vibrates, and the Game Host's device indicates which Player has buzzed in, while preventing all other Players from buzzing in.
This app uses Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) capabilities to connect multiple iOS devices (which act as buzzers) to a central hub, eliminating the need for wired buzzer systems.
THEREFORE, Trivia Bowl Buzzer is compatible only with the following devices:
- iPhone 4S and more recent
- iPod Touch 5 and more recent
- iPad 3 and more recent
- iPad Mini (all models)
- iPad Pro (all models)
Note that devices running Version 1.0 will not be compatible with devices running Version 2.0 as a result of the added functionality in Version 2.0. It is therefore necessary that all devices update to the newest version of Trivia Bowl Buzzer.
Disclaimer:
Note also that, due to the nature of Bluetooth connections, various complications could potentially occur during gameplay. As a result, the timing of buzzing might not always be accurate (for example, distance might cause one device which actually buzzed in first not to register until after another device has buzzed in). Thus, this app should not be used for any high-stakes competition or in place of any high-accuracy buzzer system. Thank you for your understanding.

Trivia Bowl Buzzer Reviews

Don’t waste your money

10 minutes of troubleshooting and still couldn’t get this to work for 2 teams.

Awesome!

Great!

Very frustrating…. Stay away!

It spoilt our game night!!! We all left the games frustrated

Does not work - rip-off

I tried to use this product several times. It never worked with over 6 individuals. Every time your phone monitor hibernates for being idle for one minute you lose the whole game. Too many challenges to be efficient or worthwhile.

Host version

I have used this app for my academic bowl team’s practices for several years. I have purchased the host version for three different devices (my iPhone, a school iPad, and a substitute’s iPhone). All of a sudden the app will not open. When I try it flashes open and closes immediately. I went to the App Store and reloaded it, but it wants me to purchase the host version again. How can I use this app without purchasing it again?

Don’t waste your money

Purchased the ability to host and it would not connect to the other players. All phones being used were current iPhone Pro models.

Pretty good

Seems pretty good! I bought host version and so far so good!

Waste of money

Paid for the host and unable to use because it keeps knocking off the players and would also knock me off. Was really hoping to be able to use this.

Needs improvement

We paid for the game host feature but the app had lots of bugs. 1) the connection dropped for some players occasionally and to add them back, the whole game needs to restart and everyone need to reconnect. The app should remember all the players and their scores and allow players to reconnect if disconnected. 2) the connection should not disconnect if the screen sleeps. Specially for game host, it should remember last setting and continue rather that restart the game. If the above two issues are resolved, then it would be an excellent app for jeopardy or other group games.

Love

The Host version is good!
