## What is Bingo Machine?

Bingo Machine replaces the traditional bingo number caller with a simple, all-in-one, iPhone and iPad application. Call American 75-ball and English 90-ball bingo games. 

With a bingo card in hand, Bingo Machine handles everything else — no need for a traditional bingo caller tumbler or expensive electronic equipment.

As each ball is selected, Bingo Machine keeps a running history of balls so you can see all the called numbers as the game progresses.

The app includes human and synthesized speech voices. Bingo Machine can read out each ball with recorded human male and female voices, or a high-quality synthetic voice for your language. Even if Bingo Machine is muted, it shows you bingo catchphrases on the screen so you know what to say as the announcer for each bingo number.

Use the Timer feature to call balls automatically, on a repeating interval. Set a time interval and Bingo Machine calls balls until the game is over.

Bingo Machine adapts to the game type. For English-style games, call up to 90 balls. For American games, call up to 75 balls with each ball accompanied by its corresponding B-I-N-G-O symbol.

For group settings, connect Bingo Machine to an external display or projector to show the game on the big screen. This is perfect for charity events, schools and other large room events. You can connect using a compatible TV-Out cable for your iPhone or iPad, or connect wirelessly to an Apple TV using AirPlay Screen Mirroring.

Bingo Machine can also be used as a teaching tool for learning numbers in foreign languages. Switch between English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish language options. The synthesized voice can even speak each language so you can hear how the number is meant to be pronounced.

Bingo Machine features rich design and finesse. The app is optimized for both the iPhone in your hand, and the larger canvas of the iPad display. It includes a beautiful theme for the new iOS 13 Dark Mode appearance, and is proud to support vision-impaired accessibility needs with comprehensive VoiceOver support.

Bingo caller software is typically clunky and complex. Bingo Machine is the opposite. Feature packed and simple to use.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t call out Letter

*2026-05-03*

What good is this if it doesn’t call out the Letter as well? It just calls out the number.

### 1/5 — Waist

*2024-10-10*

This app is completely BASIC for $3. There’s no option to change up the BINGO game option. It’s basically a timer option & voice option & that’s it.

### 5/5 — Bingo machine number caller

*2024-09-02*

I really like this app, it’s a good little number generator and i love the female English caller. I’ve just got 1 small issue, I’m a blind person who uses voiceover and for some reason the timer isn’t adjustable for me. The app tells you to slide a finger to adjust the time interval between calls. When i tried out the timer i did this and nothing happened. It’s not a big thing i can always press the next ball button each time but it would be good to have the timer option as well. To be fair i could be missing something i need to do to activate the timer. As i say it’s only a small thing in an app that does what i want and it works without internet connection which is a bonus. I’m delighted to give this app 5 stars. I need to update my review now. I wrote to the developer about the timer issue last tuesday after i first posted this review. He got back to me within a few minutes saying i had correctly identified a bug that affects how the timer function relates to voiceover and he said he would fix it. Today, 6 days later he has fixed it and this app is now perfect for me. The customer support is first class and i say again I’m so happy to give this app 5 stars. Thanks Benjamin.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t have the catchphrases

*2023-10-26*

I brought this as the pictures show the catchphrases such as 2 little ducks etc etc, but this actually isn’t a function.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste your Money

*2022-12-27*

The game won’t pause when the timer is on and if using manually it still continues to call the numbers automatically.
Very disappointed with the app, basically just a rip off.

### 1/5 — No volume/ no speech

*2021-11-21*

Just got this app because it is supposed to be speech enabled-
Using a female/male/synthesized voice to call the numbers. 

It doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Best bingo caller!

*2020-12-27*

Can we have more voices please and have some English uk version so that you get numbers like 5 and 9 the Brighton line or doctors orders number 9?

### 5/5 — Family Fun

*2020-08-02, version 1.0*

We've literally played at least one game of Bingo per week with Family since Covid began.  It is everyones most looked forward to event of the week!

### 2/5 — Not very good Bingo Caller

*2020-06-30, version 1.0*

Not a very good caller. I would like the option of turning off the cute additions to the number itself "clicky click, sixty-six" and just have the letter and number called. It would be nice to have the letter/number called more than once. The letter/number does not stay on the screen long enough. The layout of the numbers called screen does not match a typical bingo card so it is harder to find your letter and number to see what has been called. I assume (although I have not seen it) that there is an automatic setting so you don't have to click the Call Next Ball everytime.

### 1/5 — Hardly any traditional names

*2020-06-13*

I downloaded this bingo app amongst a lot of free ones because it appeared to suggest it had the names of the numbers for the traditional English game. Given most numbers in English game have a nickname I was disappointed to find this app only has about five!! Waste of money
