The Buzztime Mobile Playmaker App is designed to be used in conjunction with the TV’s at your favorite Buzztime location as an alternative to our traditional Playmaker boxes.
Game play begins at 11 a.m. local time. You may not be able to log in to your location, or may get an error message stating that no games are available, if you try to connect prior to 11 a.m.
If, for any reason, you cannot connect after a few tries, please restart the App. Reconnecting will help ensure a good connection. Buzztime is not responsible for connections. Connection issues can be affected for many reasons, including the device you utilize, the type of building you are in, your proximity to a cell tower, and more.
The first version of the Mobile Playmaker does not support the following games: Sports IQ, Race Day
A few months ago I would have given this app 4 or 5 stars. But over my past 3 games of "Countdown" there have been an average of over 42% movie questions. It's no longer a game for the intelligent, but for couch potatoes. Just the way we are I guess.
Playing poker, and half the time the card faces wouldn't load. Climbed up to $11,000, and all of a sudden my buttons stopped registering. Doesn't matter what I hit. My phone kept receiving the cards, but wouldn't communicate. I don't have an old phone either. Moto X Play. Easy uninstall for me.
I have no trouble logging on using Playmakers at sites or logging onto the website or logging into the iOS app. I cannot log into the Android app because I have a special character in my password. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH THE ANDROID APP. I can log on everywhere else using the special character.
Great idea. Terrible execution. Have the app and the have system that you can borrow at participating restaurants, stop kicking me off randomly, then more stars will be earned.
please look through your feedback and notice the HUGE number of people your app does not work for. As a developer, just seeing the limited functions the app needs to serve versus the 12 meg size of the app, it appears you need better developers.
The hand held playmakers work great but I downloaded this app when none of them were charged. Sooo disappointed. Bottom line is this program needs a lot of work.
I have Samsung Note 3 and this has worked well over 3 months ago. But now it stops and says it unfortunately stopped. Great! Please fix this! For now I am uninstalling it.
I can't log in because my username (which I've had for years) has and underscore in it. I used to be able to use it on the app, and I can log in with it everywhere else but this app
Should have read the reviews this app is beyond terrible! !! Don't waste your time. It would not even let me log in. ..Uninstalled
Did anyone who developed this actually try to use it? It's awful. Becomes unresponsive constantly or folds hands when bets are made. Needs a lot of work...
Your whole business will rely on this app soon. What not make sure it f ' ing works you morons.
It MIGHT let you log in but fails to join a game then crashes. Don't waste your time.
I used to use this app on iOS and it worked great. 5/5 on that. On android though I can't even login as I can't type my username which has an underscore (_). I see I'm not the only one to say this, but after months of people pointing this out and it still not being fixed I wonder if it ever will be.
I can't use my account at all on the app. Website works great. Restaurants with a Playmaker, fantastic. Use of the mobile app is ridiculous. Not possible to log in with a password that has symbols.
Not only does this app lose its connection periodically when I've tried it, it doesn't tell you when it's lost connection, so you're waiting for a screen update that never comes. Really sloppy; hire better programmers
Unable to see the cards on the app while playing poker. Have to look up at the screen. Kind of hard to do that if the screen is not in view or being blocked. Add the cards that are currently turned over and this will be a 5 star.
Doesn't work. Every other hand in hold em it stops working and forces a fold. Entire waste of time. Maybe they should hire developers from US instead of india. At least we know how to properly handle exceptions when polling.
Tried to create. .. couldn't the email was in use. Maybe I had an account years ago. .. Tried forgot password. .. it says the email is not in use. ..wtf. If this is an indication of the security and playability if this company... then I'm not impressed. Uninstalled.
Not rooted, no hacks or mods. Crashes on selecting site. Wish I could give 0 stars.
Won't let me put my user name at all its junk
First the game will not play in the landscape style on phone or pad. 2nd you have to ask the bar to put on TV since the questions do not show on the screen.
Able to make a profile. Could never connect to BuzzTime at any location. Was never able to use.
My username has an underscore and the app doesn't accept that as valid input. Needs a fix!
I get to play maybe one out of ten hands, this app is terrible. I love the game on the rare occasion it registers any of my taps, but alas, that almost never happens because it fails to even display correctly 95% of the time. Seems like the developer does not even remotely care about all the people having issues with their app either.
Complete poop. Either your app sucks and server, which it does, or buffalo wild wings sucks, which it does too. Missouri sucks. One star because no stars isn't a thing. I hate you.
At least I used to be able to play but now every site says unable to join except ones that are like 5 miles away. UI is garbage, does not show questions or answers, no leaderboards, no point counts, nothing. Lag in answers ruins perfect games. Does not track badges or p+ points. As a player since 1992 I am shocked at how bad the app is. Can't even log in to my home sites.
Constantly crashes the phone, perhaps a big? Will try again in the next version.
Won't even let me log in. I can log in using the exact information on the website but has always just said "authorization failure" when using the app. No excuse for that.
This application does not even show the questions... It's just has 5 number buttons. So you have to be sitting near a Tv. Do not recommend.. it does not even register my answer. 0 stars... Don't see the point of this application
You need an app where people can play anywhere. Not just at restaurants. In the car,(if you're spouse is driving) at home, anywhere. It would be convenient. Just a tip!
Works just fine on Apple products bit not my android... frustrating
My username contains an "_" and the app will not allow special characters to be entered.... so basically this is useless
It says it's my turn in bww on the TV but not on phone. So can't use it to play. WORTHLESS!
Would give higher, but it wouldn't let me put in my username which has symbols. Please fix and then I'm might think about giving a higher score.
Freezes and doesn't let me pick an answer in trivia when time matters...cost me many games. Says pick an answer but doesn't register the button I pick. New phone too so it's not that. Still!
I log in and select a location and the app shuts down. It's been doing it a couple of months. Removed the app and reinstalled and same thing.
Downloaded just fine. But it wouldn't accept any of my answers. So, it was pretty pointless
Even with a good connection, I have the hardest time connecting to their servers. If I do connect, the lag is awful and I get knocked off a LOT!
Frequent time out errors when I try to connect to a location. When I do connect to a location the app frequently loses connection to the game and I can't select an answer. The TV at the restaurant shows my display name though.
by U####:
The current version has a bug that prevents you from typing a symbol in the password field. Of course for good password security, I have one. It works just fine for the hardware players and thier website, but not this app. I even tried pasting it in from the clipboard, but it still wouldn't take it. If you have a symbol in your password you won't be able to use this app.
