何故か我が家の子供はお寺の鐘が大の苦手です。
なので子供が悪さを働いた時に大音量で鳴らしています。
こうかはばつぐんだ!

### 1/5 — サクラレビュー多すぎ気をつけて！

*2023-12-15, version 1.2.2*

このアプリは除夜の鐘をスマホを振って鳴らすだけのアプリですが、この評価です。他のレビューも「感動しました」や「いいね！」などのサクラレビューと思われるものばかりです。みなさん気をつけてください！

### 5/5 — 今年は家族で

*2019-12-22, version 1.2.0*

田舎ですが、周囲から聴こえてくる鐘の音が無くなり数年経ちました。
なんだか時代が逆行し、矛盾も感じますが(･･;)、今年は家族で蕎麦を囲みながら行くとし来る年を観て、この鐘をつきたいと思います。

### 5/5 — 全米が泣いた

友達と一緒に楽しめました。
108回目が近づくにつれてしみじみと今年を振り返ることができました。
ここまで泣けるアプリは初めてです。

### 5/5 — 鳴ってる時間が･･･

*2018-03-11, version 1.0*

鐘の音が鳴ってる時間が短いので､
もう少し､響いてる感じで､長めに音を鳴らしておくようにして欲しいです。
鳴ってる時間が短過ぎて､凄く違和感があります。
そして､鳴り終わる時も､自然な感じで､
だんだん消えていく感じ(音が薄れていく感じ(フェードアウトしていく感じ))で､鳴り終わる様にして欲しいです。
よろしくお願い致します。
