Sync Buzzer

About this app

If you need an App to plan Quizz with your friends, Sync Buzzer is made for you.

Actually, It's just a Buzzer, but it offers a little more. You'll know who buzzed first, just like in a TV show.

But how did it work ? You just have to follow these few steps :)
- Connect all phones (Manager and players) on the same local network, for example, a WIFI access point.
- Let the manager create the Game.
- And the players just have to join this new Game and start Buzzing :p

The manager will have to manage the Game with the buttons available on his phone :
- Reset : Lock all the Buzzers.
- Unlock : Unlock all the Buzzers, and allow Players to Buzz.
- Right : Lock all the Buzzers and grant one point to the player who buzzed (This button is available, only if a player buzzed).
- Wrong : Lock the Buzzer of the player who buzzed and unlock the Buzzers of the other players (This button is available, only if a player buzzed). This feature is there to lock the player who have answered wrong, and let only the other players Buzz and try a new answer.

The Buzzer can take three colors :
- Red "turned off" : Buzzer locked, you can't Buzz.
- Red "turned on" : Buzzer unlocked, you can Buzz.
- Green "turned on" : You Buzzed first.

You can plan two types of Game :
- Free for all : Every player joins the game by giving their name. And each of them have their own Buzzer. (Let's hope you'll have enough phones :p)
- Team : The manager creates as many team as necessary when he creates the Game. And when the players join the Game, they have to pick one of the team created by the manager. You can connect more than one phone to a team, and when the game start, they will be like connected to each other. For Example, if a player from the "Team 1" Buzz, all the phones from the "Team 1" will Buzz.

The app allows players to join and leave the Game when they want to, but if you are in a Game "Free For All", if you leave the game, you'll lose your points.

Above all, don't forget to connect all phones on the same WIFI network, or you won't be able to join a Game.

Have fun ;)

Ratings and reviews

In previous version the app worked well. I agree to the other reviews, it is the best buzzer app. But in Version 2.0.5 connection fails. I can start a session as manager, but all other smart phones in the same WiFi cannot find the session. Is there a requirement for the WiFi?

We ended up using this for a brain bowl competition and it actually worked well. There were a few hiccups with getting all devices connected and a little lag during the game here and there but ultimately it worked great! This was a great solution to a last minute problem! No questions about who answered first!! I'd consider using it again!!

Why it is not updated for new version of android by the developer. Today I fell in a awkward situation going by depending on this App at a Quiz event. The app is not found by the Updated Android Phones in Play Store and Hence could not make a buzzer round in the quiz Programme as it was scheduled earlier.
