BAM app

#1 Post by mrkelley23 » Thu May 28, 2020 7:18 pm

So I got to play the first 7 or so questions tonight, only to be eliminated on a question I got right. I couldn't see the host or hear any sound, but I hadn't used any lifelines.

Anyone else have problems tonight?

I went out on the Shamrock Shake question (realized what the obvious answer was immediately after I picked the wrong answer after the 50/50) but, aside from a momentary video freeze while the host was jabbering, the application worked.

IIRC, 63 people split the $500K pot tonight!

My technical problem occurred on Question 3. Instead of seeing the 4 options to enter my answer, my video kept showing Kay reading the selections. Without a button to hit for Shakers, I was declared out of the game.

The Shamrock Shake question was the one I got right, and then got booted. Wonder how many other people got questions right, but couldn't acess the app correctly. Sure seemed like a lot of people went out on fairly easy questions.

Worked fine for me, forget which question I lost on.

Worked perfectly for me, including using all three lifelines. Made it to Q15 for the first time.

Nice!

Even if I hadn't brain froze earlier, I wouldn't have made it that far. They have some wicked hard questions, when there's only 12 seconds for the entire question and answer. Like the one about the flower named for the first explorer who sailed around the world. And (playing for fun) I clicked on the first choice - Magnolia must be named for Magellan - before it it sunk in that they were asking for the first French explorer. :evil:

Every week the app fails on the 1st or 2nd Q or before.

This is really getting tiresome.

Either it doesn't like my tablet, T-Mobile's internet connection, Boston internet traffic, or all 3.
