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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PhysisPlus Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobel bell ringing simulator has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Mobel bell ringing simulator's written reviews are positive against 50% of PhysisPlus Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mobel bell ringing simulator ships an update every 6 weeks, PhysisPlus Editor every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
