Thanks devs for taking the time to make sure we can continue to live a little in the past. ### 5/5 — Great Fun! (but, needs more cowbell....) *2017-06-26, version 2.4* Thanks for a fun app! Just start the song you want to play along with in iTunes, then launch More Cowbell! I've even started a "More Cowbell" playlist. Only two, so far - the obvious, plus "Incense and Peppermint". Must find MORE COWBELL! edit: To those who are wanting it to play by shaking the iPhone: That's NOT how a cowbell is played as a percussive instrument. It doesn't have a clapper. It's STRUCK. Holding the iPhone in one hand, and tapping with the other is the closest to the actual method. A drumstick wouldn't work because the iPhone's sensor isn't pressure sensitive (besides, I wouldn't want to be treating the iPhone that way...) edit 6/26/17: THANK YOU for 64-bit! Of all the apps I need updates for, I never would have expected one blast from the past. It gives me hope for my other forlorn apps! ### 3/5 — Pretty good, but playing fast is impossible *2016-12-23, version 2.3* It doesn't register many hits when you are hitting it a lot. Other than that, it's great. ### 5/5 — Cool Cool *2016-08-28, version 2.3* Now we can qll be Will Ferrell ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-05-13, version 2.3* One of the first few apps I bought years ago that I still use :) ### 2/5 — Não tem como ritmar *2015-12-27* Simplesmente toca ao toque ou no movimento, mas não tem como ter ritmo pois é muito lento. ### 5/5 — When does V2 come out? *2015-10-21, version 2.3* I gotta have more cowbell. ### 2/5 — Sound Problem!? *2014-08-14, version 2.2* The cowbell does not make a sound on iOS 7. Please fix this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-04* It says just tap the screen or shake the phone to get a cowbell sound, but it simply doesn’t work. Terrible. ### 1/5 — TRASH! *2021-04-02* It does not work. ### 1/5 — There is no cowbell *2020-11-12* When you tap your phone I was expecting to hear a cowbell noise, but there is nothing. This app is pointless and a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Cowbell *2019-10-26* It’s ok. I mean I downloaded it then I deleted it within the first minute. Absolutely not what I expected. ### 1/5 — App is the best *2019-03-15* It needs more cowbell. Can’t hear it. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-06-28* It does work with my iPhone 7. No sound comes out at all. 😢 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2018-04-30* iPhone SE running iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-12-30* Doesn’t work at all on my iPhone 7 Plus with IOS. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time – really lame. *2015-05-25, version 2.3* I wanted to like this. But there are so many other better rhythm apps available. This maxes out at about one beat per half-second, for one thing. A lame effort. ### 1/5 — Cowbell pitch doesn't work *2014-11-08, version 2.3* The cowbell's pitch doesn't work in iOS8. 😠Boooooo 👎. Down to 1 star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cured my fever *2026-07-10* It’s a small silly app, but it does what it sets out to do, and it does it very well.

[Edit: After restarting my iPhone, the app works again!] ### 5/5 — The OG cowbell *2024-02-16* This app still works! I grabbed it on July 10, 2008 and it was last updated 6 years ago. It works in Vision Pro. Something to to be said for simple app design. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2022-03-29, version 2.4* I hear it’s Amazing and I like the part where it says I gotta have more cow bell ### 5/5 — Perfection *2021-11-24* Just absolute perfection ### 5/5 — This is so awesome! *2021-08-07* I love how it told me “more cowbell” as I downloaded this app to play “more cowbell” to don’t fear the reaper 😂! ### 5/5 — cOwbEll *2019-06-29* I gOtta HaVe mOrE cOwbEll ### 5/5 — This is the prescription! *2019-01-18, version 2.4* All my playlists in my iPhone are ok, but something misses, I found this app and now I know!
