Have not found anything else like it! Please allow the case where two alarms can be activated for the same time (one after the other). I missed a tone because of this conflict. TY!

Works on all my devices 4.1.2 to 6.0!!!

I only miss one thing. It would be really nice if there was an option, to make the chime dim all other sounds while it's playing. Currently I have a hard time hearing the chime through my music.

Best app for this purpose with the most options

The chime sound doesn't play all the way through. I selected Battery Caution as a chime and it only plays 1 second of it. It seems to do that on several others as well. Maybe the developer could look into that. And the fact that it chimes in silent mode is awesome. Worth the Pro version.

It took a while to figure out all the things I had to open to get it setup but can get chimes now exactly when I want them. I have to call in hourly at work (like a deadman switch to vefiy I'm there and awake). I needed a reminder. Problem was I worked from 10pm to 6am on 3 weekdays and 2 weekends. This was the only Chime I found that would handle those exact times and never Chime when I was off work.

Still have problems. I have to disable then enable every day. Before I bought the pro version it was great. Samsung galaxy s5

I wonder that why Android miss this basic feature by default. Due to smart phone explosion, the tendency to wear wrist watches has totally gone down. With this app, you'll not feel disorientated in time again.

hi ,Caynax i love Hourly chime PRO so ,Irreplaceable where it used on a daily basis But I have a request if possible can you add option for custom chime per hour thanks

Q70%
by Q####:

Great app, I have been using it for more than a year now. One problem with the "New chime" floating button is that it covers the last check box when you have a lot of chimes. Maybe move the check boxes on the left?

E70%
by E####:

Bought the pro version as it does perfectly what I need but using privacy guard and battery analysis tools discovered this to be a CPU hog with thousands of keep awake and partial wake looks killing battery when screen off. Hope they improve the architecture to be lighter on the kernel

Q70%
by Q####:

It needs an option to announce time only when a Bluetooth headset is connected. My Nexus 6P is always in vibration mode and I don't want it to make any noise when I am in the office or in a meeting, but if I am wearing a bluetooth headset, I would like the phone to tell me the time.

Strange, but I've noticed it's now activating 2min past the configured time. Bug?

I've added the app to the 'ignore list' for all task app killer software. However, I still don't hear any hourly chimes. I want my money back. EDIT: After restarting my S6 Edge, the app started working (strangely). So I've edited my review to a positive one. This app works brilliantly - it really chimes every hour now. Good app for productivity or as a reminder to take short breaks during study/work.

M70%
by M####:

I Love this app especially due to the industry I work in, but can I ask the developers if they can change the days so that you can set them to each alarm rather then the group also a widget so you can double check to see that the next chime is set without having to go into the app.

This app should request for sufficient permissions at the time of install which will make it persistent, such as "wake_lock" permission, etc. It inevitable that people use different task killer apps and it would not be possible for them to find out how to add permissions to manifest files manually. Dev should put his thinking hat and find a way to make this app work persistently in the background.

Using this to simulate half-hourly ship's bell chimes. More configurable than the last app I used but still with the same problem: the chime will interfere with whatever audio or video (youtube, for example) that is playing at the time. Developer suggests switching volume control to Alarm, but this removes the ability to control volume percentage on the app directly. No harm done. Will work around it. In any case, this is STILL an app I cannot do without!

Could not imagine doing my job without this app. I must continually log #'s in a spreadsheet every half hour, to keep track of a parts buffer, while running around doing other things. This is the best, most customizable alarm I have found to keep me on time for this task. Only bought the Pro version to give back to the dev. Thank you!

But if there are more number of beeps then function well. (Chime repeat 1 time, 2 time, 3 time ...)
