## What is Dinner Bell?

Come and get it!!... 

This dinner bell is more than just a dining invitation. Shake your device to ring the bell. The clanger moves just like a real bell each time you shake your phone, allowing you to control the speed of the ringing.  

This hand bell truly sounds like a real bell, but you won't hear just the clang of a bell.  There are over 25 great sounds to choose from:  

Bells- bicycle, cow, dinner, door, school, tiny, and triangle 
Chimes - electric, musical, and wind 
Clocks - alarm and grandfather
Drums - bongo, crash cymbal, drum roll, percussion, and snare 
Funny - bubbles, glass break, gong, kazoo and man scream 
Horns - clown, diesel, and fog
Whistles - referee, sexy, and spinning
Custom - Record up to 10 sounds of your own  

What makes this app unique is that you can change the pitch of every sound and the bounciness of the clanger.  So, you don't have to settle for the default sounds of other apps - YOU CAN MAKE THEM YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED SOUNDS!

Where ever you go, you can call in the troops or just have fun with these sounds on your iPhone or iPad!
