What's New

Revised the method for displaying Buzz Word lists.

App Description

No Advertisements, no In-App Purchases
BeBabble automatically produces entertaining three-work acronyms or “Buzz- Word” phrases. There are 100 choices for each of the three words which make for a total of one million possible three-word combinations.

BeBabble provides “Dazzling Intoxicating Empowerment” to the average user who might otherwise be left to their own “Unsupportable Stupefying Stance” when participating in everyday conversation.

Many of the phrases seem to embody wisdom while others are simply entertaining.
For example:
Bombastic Bubbling Encapsulation
Encrusted Mouthwatering Entrenchment
Pusillanimous Throbbing Monstrosity
Cataclysmic Infecting Satisfaction
Stupendous Grinding Enfoldment
You can decide if there is wisdom or simply entertainment in a particular buzz-word phrase.

Here’s a brief list of BeBabble’s features.
• Manually or automatically create three word Buzz-Word combinations
• A record of the 1000 most recent combinations is maintained
• Users can save up to 1000 of their favorite buzz-word combinations
• Upon first installation (or re-installation) BeBabble will ask you if you would like to share data with BeBabble on your other Apple devices (IOS and macOS) via iCloud.
• If so enabled, configuration settings are shared with BeBabble on your other Apple devices via iCloud.
• If so enabled, favorite buzz-word phrases can be sent to BeBabble on your other Apple devices via iCloud

BeBabble’s functionality is available on four windows.

• The “Roll’Em” button will move the picker to the next buzz word
• You can choose to have BeBabble automatically move to new buzz-words.

• You can choose how frequently new buzz-word combinations are generated in the automatic mode. The choices are: One second between rolls, five seconds between rolls, ten seconds between rolls, and fifteen seconds between rolls.
• You can determine the action of the Roll’Em button. The choices are: 1) Randomly select the new buzz-word. 2) Go to the next buzz-word as if the picker was an odometer in an automobile, 3) Move all three pickers together in lock-step to the next selection.
• Sounds can be muted if desired.
• Settings will be shared with BeBabble on your other Apple devices if you enabled this feature on first installing (or re-installing).
