The best way to learn change ringing methods, from the creators of Ringing Room.

Method Madness is a flash card app for change ringing that aims to help you learn methods for life.

### 5/5 — Fantastically helpful

*2025-10-26, version 1.1*

Well designed and simple to use. I’ve never considered flash cards as a useful resource for me but thought I’d give these a go and they’ve been brilliantly useful. Are there any plans to incorporate Bob/Single calls somehow?

### 5/5 — Game changer for spliced ringing

*2024-10-02, version 1.1*

This was recommended to me by a local ringer as I tried to get to grips with ringing spliced surprise major. A short while later I rang my first quarter of 4-spliced. Thanks!

A few things I’d like to see added to the app:

1) Test on next place bell at start of each flash card, instead of the flash card for whole method place bell order. Much closer to what you need while actually ringing.

2) Option to display hand stroke / back stroke while doing the flash card. You know this while ringing, and having it in mind while learning would really help

3) Option to display passing course and after bells in flash card, as well as treble. Big help in ringing some methods, and would make the app closer to the ringing experience.

### 5/5 — Perfect way to learn methods

*2024-08-01, version 1.1*

Brilliant app. Really easy and clear to use. 
Suitable for anyone learning bellringing methods. Thank you for developing this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2024-02-22*

For all of you ringing nerds out there, this app serves up randomized lead cards PLUS bell order cards. Great for learning methods for spliced but also great for beginners - it forces you to think about the individual leads (rather than the full line as a blob) and also doesn’t let you get away with kinda knowing the line. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2023-08-18, version 1.0.1*

I’m taking my first steps towards learning Cambridge Minor and am finding the app very helpful in focussing practice on the individual place bells

### 5/5 — Great app for learning methods

*2023-05-14, version 1.0.1*

I wish I could have had this app a long time ago, it really does make learning methods, and keeping them in memory if not often rung, so much easier.  It does take a little getting used to at first but if you stick with it I’m sure you’ll find it very useful.
