Buzztime Continues to Enhance Buzztime Entertainment App During Its Beta, Providing Mobile-first Option for More BusinessesCARLSBAD, Calif., July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It's been two months since NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE American: NTN) launched a beta version of the Buzztime Entertainment app, and already 84% from over 1,100 players surveyed would recommend the app to a friend. Now, Buzztime has just released its first major app update. The key feature of the update is that both trivia questions and answers are now displayed. This enhancement is the direct result of suggestions made by many of the 10 million Buzztime players, who were invited to share their feedback. Also, during that first beta phase, Buzztime provided an over-the-air update to the app, making most of the 15- and 30-minute trivia games playable on smartphones at all locations. "It's clear that our player community is excited about the opportunity to shape our app. Survey data also shows that over 80% of Buzztime players plan to increase their play based upon improvements to the app. This enhanced gaming experience gives players another reason to visit our partner locations, who are benefiting from the increased foot traffic, dwell time, and repeat business," said Ram Krishnan, NTN Buzztime CEO. According to a 2019 Nielsen study, 7 out of 10 people indicated they were more likely to choose a bar or restaurant that offered Buzztime. Prior to the launch of the app, players needed a venue-provided tablet to compete in trivia. The app now provides a much easier way for an unlimited number of players to engage with Buzztime. "The app has made Buzztime even more accessible, not just to players – but to prospective locations where a mobile-first entertainment option is a better fit for their business model. We're leveraging this mobile solution to bring Buzztime to new verticals, while increasing our site count," continued Krishnan. As Buzztime expands its funel, its digital-out-of-home advertising partners are positioned to benefit from a boost in impressions and engagement. Their branding messages will be seen more frequently by players engaged with Buzztime content on the 12,000 TV screens across the Buzztime network. "We're only in the beta phase of our new app, and we're already producing positive results for our players, partner locations, and advertisers. As we continue evolving and optimizing the player experience through the app, we expect Buzztime to further strengthen its position as the leading in-venue entertainment provider," concluded Krishnan.
