Here are some of the things people have said about Virtual Belfry:

I have received my disk and installed the software. Thank you - it is a tremendous job you have done.
I have been an IT professional all my life and have seen all sorts of good and bad software, but yours is very good/excellent on first impressions.

A very impressive piece of software and we especially like the moving number bar as this will be a great aid in showing how bells move inside a method with only pairs of bells changing at any time.

Virtual Belfry has arrived safely and I am delighted with the programme. What you have achieved with the animation is spectacular!"

We've just taken part in our annual "Church Discovery Day", for which the ringers had a stall inside the church (as well as "guided tours", demos and "have-a-go" in the ringing chamber). I thought Virtual Belfry, running on my laptop, would be a good thing to display on the stall.
It was even better than I had expected. The visuals and sound kept people coming, attracting both adults and children; the "moving numbers" window was excellent for showing how the changes evolve; and the "pause" and "step" features let me show people the bells in slow motion. An excellent demonstration facility - many thanks for making it available.

I am really enjoying the program; I have not stopped using it since I recieved the code; having great fun, many thanks.

Thanks for this, Doug. I have got a laptop dedicated to bellringing and teaching bellringing and your software is excellent for the job. What a difference computer technology makes to many facets of bellringing.

Thanks so much for supplying Virtual Belfry. It arrived this morning and I keep deserting my wife and mother-in-law to work on this fascinating program. It is a marvellous achievement and I look forward to delving deeper into its delights.

I think the help is some of the best written user assistance material I have seen for software of any kind - clear, informative and thorough [...] it is fun and easy to use, and has those astonishing images of the bells "in motion". Virtual Belfry is set to carve out new territory in the ringing software world.
[Simon McMillan, Armidale] from his review of Virtual Belfry, published in the March 2008 issue of Ringing Towers.]

The program looks very interesting and my wife and I are thrilled to be able to see the bells so clearly. Even our daughter is expressing an interest!

It is not really very long ago that I could neither see nor hear but now at least I am able to hear my own bell and I have Virtual Belfry to thank for that.

My addiction to Virtual Belfry is far greater than that of the most hardened drug addict!!
