8 of 25It needs more cowbell. Can’t hear it.
Thanks for a fun app! Just start the song you want to play along with in iTunes, then launch More Cowbell! I've even started a "More Cowbell" playlist. Only two, so far - the obvious, plus "Incense and Peppermint". Must find MORE COWBELL! edit: To those who are wanting it to play by shaking the iPhone: That's NOT how a cowbell is played as a percussive instrument. It doesn't have a clapper. It's STRUCK. Holding the iPhone in one hand, and tapping with the other is the closest to the actual method. A drumstick wouldn't work because the iPhone's sensor isn't pressure sensitive (besides, I wouldn't want to be treating the iPhone that way...) edit 6/26/17: THANK YOU for 64-bit! Of all the apps I need updates for, I never would have expected one blast from the past. It gives me hope for my other forlorn apps!
This app still works! I grabbed it on July 10, 2008 and it was last updated 6 years ago. It works in Vision Pro. Something to to be said for simple app design.
It’s a small silly app, but it does what it sets out to do, and it does it very well. I gotta have more cowbell!
It’s ok. I mean I downloaded it then I deleted it within the first minute. Absolutely not what I expected.
The app is broken and no longer emits any sound (iPhone 11 iOS 17.5.1). [Edit: After restarting my iPhone, the app works again!]
It says just tap the screen or shake the phone to get a cowbell sound, but it simply doesn’t work. Terrible.
