Host a game show night: friends buzz in from their own phones, you see who was first, and the winner gets confetti. Plus 75+ sounds and Pro sounds to try free.
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.
Okay. I love this app. It’s a great way to get my teenage brother up in the morning. But the ads can’t be standed by me. SoManyAdsWhy do you guys need so many ads? I’m super not trying to be mean, I might be coming off like that. But maybe cut down on the ads, it’s driving me nuts.
This was amazing until the first ad…
Lsoc
Pressed the buzzer a few times and was loving the fact that I could make fail sounds as my son practiced his speech. We were having a good time with it. Then about 10 buzzers in we got the slot machine ad that went a full 30 seconds. You can’t touch the screen anywhere (or you are taken to download the slot app) and there is no ability to mute the sound or skip. So you’re left with a phone yelling slot machine ads and the sound you were playing for 30 seconds. Until they fix that prob, this app was not worth the free download.
Too Ad Loaded!
NeedzWerk
Played 1 buzzer sound, 30 second ad, loaded, but didn’t play second buzzer, another 30 second ad, tried to close app, another 30 second ad, UNINSTALLED! I got to play 1 buzzer sound, forced to watch 90 seconds of ads. This is not a buzzer app, it’s an uninterrupted infomercial! I didn’t even get a decent trial, te see if I wanted to purchase the app, otherwise, I very likely would have bought it, but not if I’m going to have to spend half a day watching ads for crap I’m severely uninterested in, in order to see what I’m buying. WWWOOOOONNNK!!!
I really didn’t like this thing
🦹🏼🦹🏼
It doesn’t have a good sounds or even music I just really really hate it so that is why I’m giving it only one star😡
Game show night now ends with a party, and you can try Pro for free.
• Try a Pro sound free for 24 hours by watching a short ad, or watch one to record a sound of your own. Recordings from a trial are kept, and they come back for good with Pro.
• Game Show results: when the host ends the game, everyone sees the final standings with confetti, plus a results card to share or save to Photos.
• Buzz-ins are judged more fairly when a player's phone reconnects or wakes up in the middle of a game.
• Pro recordings can now be up to 10 seconds, with a live waveform while you record. Pro can also import audio files and share recordings.
• A new menu behind the gear button gets you to Settings, Kids Mode and Pro. Settings now has Tell a Friend and Rate on the App Store.
• In Kids Mode, Siri, Shortcuts and Control Center only play Kids Mode sounds.
• The Ultimate Buzzer now works on iOS 17.
• Fixes for sounds that kept showing as playing after a call or headphone change, favorites that could disappear, and the Pro offer, which now shows it's a one-time price.
