Tower Grabber keeps its reference database separate from your personal records, so updates to reference data do not remove your own ringing history. Performances Tower Grabber can keep BellBoard performance information for supported towers and make imported information available offline. Additional performance features are available in the higher editions. Designed for offline use Your tower records, photographs, audio and imported information are stored locally on your device.
