Ratings and reviews

Very good app. I highly recommend it for tower bell ringers. A lot of my friends were not aware of it because the name doesn't have the words Tower or Ringing in it, so doesn't come up in a search, and there are so many unrelated apps with the word Bell.

Very useful. Quick and easy to use. I cannot find any documentation or help on Import (or Export) functions. With over 1000 towers rung at already logged in Andrew Craddock's Towerbase program, ideally, I'd create an appropriate mask for Tbase export and transfer the data to Bell Finder with a few clicks of a mouse. Is it possible?

Excellent app, use it several times a week. Please add "lightweight" rings to next release, possibly with a filter switch for those who don't want, as they are now in Dove.
