SEARCH AND EXPLORE
• Browse thousands of full-circle rings from the included Dove reference data.
• Search and filter by place, area and number of bells.
• View tower details, bell information and photographs.
• Keep useful reference information available offline.
BUILD YOUR OWN RINGING RECORD
• Mark towers as rung and record your first ringing date.
• Keep personal tower notes.
• Add and manage your own tower photographs.
• Record, import, trim and organise ringing audio.
• Back up and restore your personal Tower Grabber data.
I’M RINGING
Record where you are ringing and build a history of your ringing visits. Tower Grabber can use your chosen tower, photograph and ringing details to create a visual record of the occasion.
SHARE YOUR RINGING
Create attractive shareable cards from your Tower Grabber records. Share a “Today I rang at” card with tower details, photograph and notes, or share a recent performance with its BellBoard information and photographs. Sharing uses the normal sharing options provided by your device.
STANDARD
Upgrade to STANDARD for additional personal features including Favourites, increased photo and sound allowances, nearby towers and BellBoard performance access for your Home and Favourite towers.
A 7-day STANDARD trial is available so you can explore the additional features before deciding whether to upgrade.
PRO
PRO adds Tower Grabber’s most advanced tools, including:
• Ringer-based BellBoard performance records.
• Performance totals, peals, quarter peals and conducted statistics.
• Search, sort and filtering across stored performances.
• Scrapbook — a chronological record bringing together your ringing dates, ringing visits and performances.
• Wider nearby-tower searching.
• Historic Dove configurations where included.
• Higher personal media allowances.
OFFLINE-FIRST
Tower Grabber is designed to remain useful when mobile coverage is weak. Core tower reference data and your personal records are stored on your device, while online services such as Dove updates and BellBoard refreshes are used when available.
