Three new songs!
* I Saw Three Ships (come sailing in on Christmas day)
* O Holy Night - I love this song and have wanted to include it for a while, though it's more complex than most of the other songs. It spans more than a single octave, so some of the notes drop down into what the app can play. I think it still works though, and hope you enjoy it!
* Auld Lang Syne (Ok, this isn't a Christmas tune, but now you can ring in the New Year with Holiday Bells.) :)
I've also updated the icon to look nice on iOS7, and made a few other minor fixes and improvements.
Have a great Christmas!

Best App EVER! 🔔
I have had this app on my phone for more than 10 years, and I still play with it every Christmas. I’m trying to teach my 95-year-old neighbor how to use her iPhone, and yesterday I gifted her this app. As I showed her how to use it, her eyes lit up! I’ve never seen anyone so excited about anything! She can’t wait to show it to her family! It was such a hit that I gifted it to another neighbor, a single father with a 7-year-old boy. I know they’ll have fun playing the songs. Thank you to the developer for such an outstanding, flawless app. I’ve never encountered any problems, and it’s so well-designed and user-friendly— even for kids and older people!
Steven J M,
A Ringing Endorsement!
This app does exactly what I'd hoped, letting me play cool-sounding bells to make my own music or accompanying the included classical holiday tunes. I appreciate that it let me ring more than one bell at a time (I could ring at least six at once on my iPad), and it sounded exactly like I'd expect a bunch of bells ringing at the same time. I wish there was an option to see which note each bell was playing, since that'd make it easier to play my own tunes, but that's a minor quibble that doesn't detract from the package. (B)ring in some joyful noise for your holidays!
Wayne_M,
It's starting to sound and look a lot like Christmas!
What a cool app. This latest update even includes holiday iMessage stickers. Wow!
Julebug123,
Really good but...
I would love to have the bells labeled with their note names so that you can play your own music more easily. Love the sound and general function. It would also be nice to have another octave to choose from.

Pretty
I love the soothing sounds of the bells.
Thank you for this. Each Xmas I play away to my hearts content.

Description Unclear
Description made it sound like the sounds would play in iMessage— which is what I bought it for. The emojis have no sound , or it’s not clear how to activate the sound. I want my money back. I don’t want/need an iPhone app that plays bells and music. I can do that other ways. Bah humbug.
SueLPS,
Fantastic fun
Beautiful sound--fun to play, or just to listen!
BigDaddyCrimeFighter,
Oh, what fun!
The app is a delightful way to easily get the “hang” of note values. It’s a fun experience all the way ‘round. Mrs. Santa gives it four and a half chocolate chip cookies!

Lyrics off beat
The printed lyrics highlight one beat later than the note they go with. Otherwise an ok app.
Lynn113,
So Cool!
I love this App! It works perfectly too! Thanks!!
