It’s the moment every actor, musician, comedian and politician lives for – the grand round of applause after a job well done. Now you can hear and use various applause sounds anytime with this simple app! Whether it’s a concert, recital, theater show, TV sitcom, or speech, nothing shows approval and appreciation like the roar of clapping hands. You only need two hands to clap, but nothing compares to a grand round of applause from a hundred people! Use these sounds to enhance your applause at shows, speeches, or in everyday life! These applause sounds can be used in sincerity to show your appreciation and admiration of a task well done (maybe your kid deserves a standing ovation for that living room drum solo!). Or, you can use the applause ironically to joke with your friends. Someone took out the trash? Round of applause! Someone gave a long-winded rant at the dinner table? Round of applause! Someone said something exceedingly dumb? Round of applause! You can even give yourself a round of applause – just be sure to take a bow! Listen to applause sounds and share them with your friends!
