Bingo Machine replaces the traditional bingo number caller with a simple, all-in-one, iPhone and iPad application. Call American 75-ball and English 90-ball bingo games.
With a bingo card in hand, Bingo Machine handles everything else — no need for a traditional bingo caller tumbler or expensive electronic equipment.
As each ball is selected, Bingo Machine keeps a running history of balls so you can see all the called numbers as the game progresses.
The app includes human and synthesized speech voices. Bingo Machine can read out each ball with recorded human male and female voices, or a high-quality synthetic voice for your language. Even if Bingo Machine is muted, it shows you bingo catchphrases on the screen so you know what to say as the announcer for each bingo number.
Use the Timer feature to call balls automatically, on a repeating interval. Set a time interval and Bingo Machine calls balls until the game is over.
Bingo Machine adapts to the game type. For English-style games, call up to 90 balls. For American games, call up to 75 balls with each ball accompanied by its corresponding B-I-N-G-O symbol.
For group settings, connect Bingo Machine to an external display or projector to show the game on the big screen. This is perfect for charity events, schools and other large room events. You can connect using a compatible TV-Out cable for your iPhone or iPad, or connect wirelessly to an Apple TV using AirPlay Screen Mirroring.
Bingo Machine can also be used as a teaching tool for learning numbers in foreign languages. Switch between English, Chinese, French, German and Spanish language options. The synthesized voice can even speak each language so you can hear how the number is meant to be pronounced.
Bingo Machine features rich design and finesse. The app is optimized for both the iPhone in your hand, and the larger canvas of the iPad display. It includes a beautiful theme for the new iOS 13 Dark Mode appearance, and is proud to support vision-impaired accessibility needs with comprehensive VoiceOver support.
Bingo caller software is typically clunky and complex. Bingo Machine is the opposite. Feature packed and simple to use.
I really like this app, it’s a good little number generator and i love the female English caller. I’ve just got 1 small issue, I’m a blind person who uses voiceover and for some reason the timer isn’t adjustable for me. The app tells you to slide a finger to adjust the time interval between calls. When i tried out the timer i did this and nothing happened. It’s not a big thing i can always press the next ball button each time but it would be good to have the timer option as well. To be fair i could be missing something i need to do to activate the timer. As i say it’s only a small thing in an app that does what i want and it works without internet connection which is a bonus. I’m delighted to give this app 5 stars. I need to update my review now. I wrote to the developer about the timer issue last tuesday after i first posted this review. He got back to me within a few minutes saying i had correctly identified a bug that affects how the timer function relates to voiceover and he said he would fix it. Today, 6 days later he has fixed it and this app is now perfect for me. The customer support is first class and i say again I’m so happy to give this app 5 stars. Thanks Benjamin.
Bingo.

This is a great app and works well. Can we have running total of how many numbers out,on the iPad for use in a ‘snowball’ game please? Also it would be a handy feature if this could be set prior to start of game. Thank you.
Developer Response
The new update features a full iPad redesign, and features a running count of balls called front and centre. I'm not sure what you mean by setting prior to starting the game, if you are still interested in this, please email me with more information at me@bzamayo.com
Good, but light on humour and call phrases

Works well, so can’t complain too much for a £2 game. It really could do with having some more bingo call phrases, as other than a few very standard ones it basically just says the number - “one and zero, blind 10” etc. No “Boris’s Den, number 10” or any of the myriad funny and we’ll known phrases that make Bingo more fun.I was hoping to use this to replace our human caller at our social club, but it is just too boring. Shame as it is otherwise a good app.
Could do with fixing

I bought this it trialled really well then when it came to using it for our game it wouldn’t let me control it. The calls kept coming even when the game had been ended. It states before bee were ready with no pause facility it seemed to be playing on its own. I had load a basic free one from the App Store.
Fixes an issue with VoiceOver compatibility with the game timer setting.
