Jingle+ is the only shaker-instrument app that feels and sounds like a real instrument. Move and shake your phone and it feels just like holding a tambourine, maraca, egg shaker, or jingle/sleigh bells— expressively and in real time.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Apollo World holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jingle+ has 319 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Jingle+'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Apollo World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jingle+ ships an update every 6 months, Apollo World every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
