SpeedQuizzing Player App Version 5

November 9, 2021

We have been very busy over the last 18 months (or more) developing a brand new player app for SpeedQuizzing Pro (the venue-based hosting product). The new player app will have some great new features for a vastly enhanced player experience. Key features are detailed below:

General Updates

  • All questions to appear on screens – at discretion of host
  • Multiple choice options to appear on player screens rather than just letters
  • Option to play in landscape mode on larger tablets
  • Updated visuals to reflect new branding
  • Customisable colour themes selectable by host or players
  • Anti snooping mode to hide answers from being visible to other teams
  • Points scored and points available to display on player screens in real time
  • Countdown Bar on player devices

Picture questions

  • Option to rotate picture for players sat on opposing side of table
  • Option to return to picture to view again at any point

Results Phase

  • Correct/Incorrect answers to be displayed on screen with ticks or crosses
  • Fastest team’s name to display on all devices

New Quizmaster Handset features

  • QR Scanner to allow teams into game
  • Dynamic button text
  • Bingo numbers and next number now appear on handset

You should encourage ALL players to update to the new app as soon as it is available (The old player app will still be compatible for the foreseeable).

A key action is that in order for you to continue to use SpeedQuizzing once the new app is live, ALL HOSTS must download the latest version of the hosting software, Version 4.5. Whilst this update will contain features not yet live until the player app is released, you should update your software for either Mac or Windows in preparation by using the following link.

Download SQPro 4.5

We will be issuing further tutorial videos to enable hosts to get the best out of the new features in due course, however, the following video is a must watch before going out for the first time with the new software/app.

 

I hope this info is useful and you enjoy all the hard work that has been put into creating this new app. As ever, we will always continue to improve our product and keep ahead of the game.
