Holiday Bells transforms your iPhone or iPad into a set of cheerful bells. Feel like jingling some jingle bells? Shake your iPhone and you’ll think a sleigh is about to round the corner. Switch to the handbell and choose exactly which note you’d like to hear before you give your phone a shake. My favorite option is the handbell set. You can tap on each bell to hear a different note or choose a song and follow the snowflakes on the screen as they guide you through the song. The app uses authentic bell rings and they sound wonderfully cheery.
