Get Ready to Sound the Bell

It's almost time to start sounding that recognizable bell -: the cowbell. With this app you'll have three different cowbell sounds right at your fingertips to use whenever you like. All you have to do is shake your device like a real bell, or tap on the screen if you'd rather. Your friends will be jealous of your app and want it for themselves.

What's cool is that it also has a customization feature as you can decorate your cowbell in your country's flag. There are more than 80 country flags from which to choose. Not only will you have the official cowbell sound to ring but you will be looking real patriotic as you cheer on your team. This app has just been updated so you know it’s all ready for the games to begin in just a couple short weeks.

 

Using the App

When you enter the app you will be able to choose the flag you want to use to decorate your bell. You may even want to change the flag depending on the event you are watching. The flag will be wrapped around the bell and you are ready to begin. Shake the device or tap it as mentioned. The sound is definitely authentic; I just wish it were louder. Even on full volume I don’t find the bell is that loud. I also found there is a big different between shaking it and tapping it. When you shake it there isn’t that fluid ringing sound; rather, you hear just sporadic bells. To have that fluid sound you’ll need to tap on the screen.

There is also the ability to share your cowbell by email, Twitter, and Facebook to encourage your friends to also cheer on their team. As far as choosing from the three different cowbell sounds one sounds like a true cowbell while the others are just cool sounds.
