## What is badger?

"Where on earth is that beeping coming from!?"

"What in the world is beeping!?"

"Did you hear that?!?"

Get ready to badger your friends and family! badger is a utility that generates a selected tone (2500kHz, 5000kHz, or 7500kHz) at a random interval (1-10 minutes). This will annoy the spit out of your friends, family and co-workers.

Using badger is very simple, select a tone and hit start. You'll hear a tone right away letting you know it's been activated. You'll also see the Start button slowly pulsing, and a countdown till the next beep. 

Some features in the upcoming versions include more tones, and the ability to select a custom interval.

This will work on both the iPhone and the 2nd Gen iPod Touch. It will also work on the 1st Gen iPod Touch, but it will need to be connected to some sort of speaker.

### 1/5 — Grrrrrrrrrr

*2010-02-11*

You should be able to set the interval!
And 10 minutes Is way too long on an interv between beeps! I'm keeping the lite. Please update this. 30 seconds would be the best.

Oh and the app will shut off and won't beep until you turn it on again! 

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Maybe get the lite

### 1/5 — Not as I would have thought.

*2009-03-01*

I bought this app recently and found it was not what I expected. The scripting is primitive, not worth my 99 cents.
