Mobel is a bell ringing simulator for church bell ringers and handbell change ringers. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Mac. When ringers are at home, travelling or at towers, Mobel lets them practise any method they are going to ring. It also shows the blue line diagram for any method, including bobs and singles. Practise any method on 4 to 16 bells. Ring plain courses, or touches that Mobel creates (including spliced). Add your own touches (compositions). Ring any bell; handbell ringers can ring any pair. Mobel rings the other bells, and speaks any calls. Conduct: put in bobs and/or singles yourself. See the blue line diagram for any method or composition that you have added. Line styles with or without the underlying bell numbers, or as a grid. Lines for bobs and singles. Pinch to zoom the diagram. Select from 20,000 methods in the Central Council library. Change the speed of the ringing. Ring with or without a handstroke gap. Have Mobel wait if you hesitate - or continue in perfect rhythm. Edit methods and calls to create new methods or doubles variations.

Thank you Fixed ages ago - great program **Developer response:** This was a temporary problem due to Apple changes in iPhone 14. Fixed long ago! ### 1/5 — Unhelpful support *2025-03-05, version 2.4.4* Support when requested was unhelpful to the point of rudeness. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2024-08-28, version 2.4.1* Fantastic teaching aid ### 1/5 — Great app recently ruined! *2024-08-15* I’ve used Mobel on iPad and iPhone for many years and love it. However, the most recent update has totally destroyed the timing of when I touch the screen to the bell actually ringing. It is impossible to strike the selected bell correctly - this makes it almost unusable!Please could you fix this?? Thank you ### 5/5 — 24 *2023-06-04* Is there a way to put 24 bells on this app ### 5/5 — 24 *2023-01-11, version 2.3.4* Is there a way to put 24 bells on this app ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2022-09-20* The app is spectacular when it comes to bell ringing. The only thing I can say about it now is maybe it needs half or full muffled clappers. That’s the only thing with it. I hope to see future updates. ### 3/5 — Pretty good, however… *2022-01-15* I have benefited strongly from this app, as it has improved my ringing drastically over the years. However, I would like there to be specific compositions available for methods on stages above 8 bells, on at least 10 and 12, ideally, just like they offer the composition of Grandsire 1260 on 8 bells, for example. Furthermore, a variety of keys would be nice to have for the ringing. There is a glitch with the treble, as it cannot be activated as soon as the rounds start, so I think that should be fixed. **Developer response:** If you want more compositions, you can add them! The Help pages tell you how. ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-01-25* During this time of ringing on Ringing Room, Mobel is a great place to practice and relearn forgotten methods. ### 5/5 — A must for learners *2020-07-10* Can’t fault it as it enables hours of solo practice and is really simple to use. Only thing that would make even better is if you could select to start a method at a specific point, eg, third lead, so you don’t have to keep starting from the beginning in long complicated methods while you’re learning them. Thank you!! ## Frequently asked questions about Mobel bell ringing simulator ### What is Mobel? Mobel is a bell ringing simulator designed for church bell ringers and handbell change ringers.
