Best app, bought pro version to get more settings for reminder tap

Great app

I70%

Only been using it a few days but love it so far. Chime seems very reliable. Uses so little battery that it doesn't even show up in my battery meter. That's better than any other hourly chime I've used. It would be nice if I didn't have to set up two chimes to chime on both the hour and half hour but you only have to do it once so it's not that bad.

The great app i have seen every with great tone and UI.

My alarms didn't even go off !!!

Q70%
by Q####:

The separate volume system with the free version has continuously caused me issues with other base alarms spiking their volume. Removing times from when I want alarms to occur doesn't work and they go off regardless. Appreciate that it is as persistent as it was with silent and vibrate modes and how it activates regardless, but the prior problems mentioned will have me looking elsewhere for a replacement.

Y70%
by Y####:

Mostly great but often a delay in the chimes and sometimes it doesn't time at all when scheduled, or I would buy pro version

The notification sound is not complete ......I meant that only second half of notification sound is playing

I have Motoe3 Power phone with Marshmellow 6.0 version. I have tried a number of Hourly Beep/ Chime Apps. None worked properly. Finally this App did the job. Thank you developers. But I am facing a peculiar problem. The hourly chime works after 3 to 4 minutes than schedule. (This happens when the screen is off). If the screen is On it works fine. I have already disabled battey optimiser. Set the app to Alarm mode. Pl guide me how to tackle this problem.

X70%

As an amnesiac, keeping track of time and it's progression is very difficult and at times, impossible. Having a regular hourly alarm, though, has been incredibly helpful in having more sense of time and keeping track of it. I'd definitely recommend this to other people who struggle with a concept of time!

by Q####:

Is there a way to have a chime for every TWO hours as opposed to every hour? Or anyone know of an app that has that feature? Thanks

Q70%
by Q####:

Worked fine in Lollipop; Phone upgraded to Marshmallow and now, it chimes 2/3 times at the top of the hour; same problem for :15. :30 and :45. Battery optimization for App is *disabled* and Chime is Alarm is *on*. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Stops working after a day or so after various fixes

Simple and easy to use

I70%
by I####:

Used this for several years with no problems. New update has no volume control and does not chime as programmed. Your "fixes" broke a simple app. If I must search for extra device settings to make it work, then what's the use? Uninstalling and looking for a clean and simple hourly chime app. Sad because I liked this app before the new "features".

Since the last update, this app is doing double chimes on my Samsung Galaxy S8.

W70%
by W####:

Great App! I've used this app on the past 4 phones. Helps me know about what time it is while I'm at work. Love all of the functions and it's easy to use.

C70%
by C####:

I've been having similar problems getting the app to work. My phone still uses Lollipop so I'm not sure how to exclude the app from the battery saver or if that's even an option. Do I need to update to Marshmallow for it to work?

M70%
by M####:

It would be great if it actually chimed. It's been silent for me. Update: I discovered that this app uses my phone's default notification sound as it's "chime" so at the hourly intervals, I get a notification that sounds like I just got an email. If I can't choose another sound, then this is a pointless app. Uninstalling.

Q70%
by Q####:

I previously had issue that it didn't ring at :00 but at :58 and :03. It was fixed after I updated my system to Android 7. It's the perfect app for time management.

Only works sometimes. Have used it for four days, set to chime every morning at 8:30am. Only chimed on days 2 and 4. Have out in my battery saver exceptions list. Wish it worked!

You have to set each 15 minute segment individually, per hour???

U70%
by U####:

Settings are a bit confusing but once you figure it out it works perfectly - just make sure to put the app in the whitelist of your battery saver app. It does not affect battery life at all.

Very handy utility. New version needs extra hours save step. Very quick response from developer to point out that.
