App Description

Shout It is a simple app that displays a message on your device in large, clear type with smooth scrolling without pixelation. Advanced features like cloud sync, unlimited messages, full-color picker, expansive font choices, and emoji support make this the best banner program on the App Store!

If you're in a large crowded room or you just wanna fun way of saying "Hey" to that stranger across the room, why not use your device? You write your message and watch as heads turn to see it scrolling across your device in large, clear text like a marquee. Use it to find your friends in a crowd or send a message to the driver next to you!

Some other uses:
• Communicate and get noticed by your favorite on-stage performers or at your favorite sporting event.
• Get with your friends and Shout It at a sports game.
• Send messages across a crowded bar, club, or concert.
• Use to call your friends over in a dark movie theater.
• Tell the driver in front of you not to cruise in the passing lane.
• Send messages to people behind you.
• Use to announce to a presenter how much time is left.
• Place in front of you at meetings as a name tag so no one forgets your name.
• Use your device as a window sign for your business or as a banner at a trade show booth.
• Limo drivers can use this instead of a piece of paper at the airport to flag their clients.
• A great and flexible tool for accessibility.
• Turn your device into a scorecard for judging competitions.
• Can be used to communicate between sealed sound-proof rooms.
