## What is Xmas Bell?

Xmas Bell is the first high quality bell application, and more…

Xmas Bell helps get you right into the Christmas mood! Look forward to Christmas with your children, when the bells will ring for gift giving.

Choose one of four different bells (tiny bell, hand bell, church bell or sleigh bell) and make it ring with a smooth swing. It works with the iPhone and iPod touch.

But there is more. Not only do you have four different bell tones, there is a Christmas countdown, as well as an Advent wreathe with candles.

If you are wondering how many days there are until Christmas, ask Xmas Bell! Activate the Christmas countdown and you will be able to see the remaining days until Christmas every time you have a look at Xmas Bell. You can choose the date of gift giving between the 24th or 25th of December.

The wreathe made of fresh garlands for Advent is “alive”! Have a look at the candles on the first, second, third and fourth Advent, and discover what happens...

...maybe it will dawn on you ;)

### 5/5 — Passt

*2025-12-24, version 2.1*

Nette kleine App - Funktioniert einwandfrei - Danke

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-12-10, version 2.1*

Ive been using this app for just about a day now and I can confidently say it is one of my favorite applications ever. The design of this app is very innovative and has a diverse selection of bells to choose from. I feature that I love the most is the Days Till’ Christmas Counter which tells me when Christmas is going to be. Another feature that I love about this app is the rapid firing of the bells when you shake the phone. It is very refreshing to see this type of feature as you would also do that in real everyday life.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

### 5/5 — Favorite Bell App

### 5/5 — This App Saved My Life

*2023-01-20, version 2.1*

before I learned of the existence of this app, my life is very hard. My two kids were very angry iPad babies, they could not stop watching James Charles, and it made me very uncomfortable even after pushing them out of my Goombas I couldn’t bear watching them go down such a path. but then I found the app XmasBell and everything changed. obsessed with XmasBell. They’re little ADHDP brains could not stop them from shaking the phones so much that the sound of the virtual bells needled into my mind. and don’t even get me started on when Grandma found this app. she got right into the Christmas spirit. She was obsessed, Santa Claus, this, reindeer that. I could not handle hearing these obsessive thoughts from my own mother. at the end of the day it became more of a struggle for my life than the struggle for XmasBell. I hope you all learn something about the vindictive powers of this app thank you .
