End of the line – Mobile Playmaker Review

There’s a Facebook post and an email blast from Buzztime that, in essence, says either don’t upgrade to iOS 11 or use the tablets at restaurants. Essentially, don’t expect the update to 64 bit in order to work with iOS 11. The app hadn’t been updated in ages, which means many things. Either the development was outsourced, and it’s not viable for one reason or another to return to the outsourced party, or it was done in house by a long departed person or team. Either way, judging by the lack of updates, it’s either not a priority for Buzztime, or there aren’t any funds to update or develop a new one. Judging by the meager participation at the places I play, I’d say its funds. Used to be a third of the people in the joint we’re playing. Now I’m typically the only one. Or was. No iOS app means my eyes won’t be glued to that Buzztime screen waiting for the next round to start, while I soak in all that advertising. It’s a shame. I remember when the app rolled out, it was literally the best thing since sliced bread. Now it’s dead. Buzztime will likely follow. Just a matter of time.
