## What is Blurt?

Turn your iPhone, iPad, or  iPod touch into a full-screen scrolling banner, and blurt out whatever you want to say in large text! (best viewed at a distance)

Blurt allows you to easily scroll large messages consisting of text, emoji, and photos. Perfect for concerts, sporting events, parties, bars, classrooms, conferences, or in the car. Swipe a playing message to toggle mirror mode so that the car in front of you can read your message, like "Your brake lights are not working", or "Your tire is flat". Or simply get someone's attention from across the room.

Blurt has been designed for maximum readability, with ultra-smooth scrolling, for display in either portrait, landscape, or free rotation mode in over 40 different colors. Create a library of messages to use instantly, or display all of your messages as one long playlist.

You never know when you need to get someone's attention. Be ready with Blurt!
