On its own it makes no sound. Don’t forget your external speaker when going to ring for the Salvation Army. ### 1/5 — No Sound *2017-11-01, version 2.031817* Neither the Lite Version nor the .99 version produce any sound on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — Stupid doesn't work *2017-01-01, version 1.1* Had surgery and was looking for something to get assistance. This app is a waste of time.

Boooooooo ### 2/5 — Meh *2015-02-06, version 1.1* Doesn't really feel right. Like it doesn't ring as much as I shake it. ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-03-30, version 1.1* I mostly use it in the day sometimes at dinner time. ### 4/5 — Cool... *2012-04-29, version 1.1* I have a bell at home so it is kind of an elimination chamber. ### 4/5 — Great *2009-11-27, version 0* Works just like a normal bell.

Did not disappoint. I am literally waiting on the edge of my seat for the premium (not lite) version to be dropped. Can’t wait. Would pay a weekly subscription for premium. Thx 😌 ### 5/5 — Shame. Ding ding ding. *2018-11-16, version 2.031817* I used this bell to publicly shame a coworker during his walk of atonement. Good resonance and tone. Really drove the shame home. ### 5/5 — Omg *2018-07-28* This bell is so amazing. It’s great to use at dinner and when people are sick. This is such a delightful bell and I really recommend it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-01-19, version 2.031817* Exactly like a real one! ### 5/5 — Works fine *2017-11-03, version 2.031817* This works just fine on my iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 11. Nice and loud! ### 5/5 — I saw it used on TV! *2017-10-31, version 2.031817* Your app was used on the "Big Bang Theory" viewed by over 10 million viewers. I tried it out in my adult Sunday school class, it was a hit. ### 5/5 — ANAZINGGGGGG *2017-07-24, version 2.031817* It gets people's attention, and I love it.
