Watch beep for Android
Since this application was developed for myself I did the most battery efficient code. No background services consuming battery!!! It uses system alarm service that runs always.
Beeps on the hour. Easy to setup. Nothing rates 5 stars but this is close. If you are looking for an hourly beep try this app. Also please take the time to review apps you use to help others. Thanks. Using a moto x play Android 6
3/30/16: Note 4 OEM Android 5.1.1 it's now working but w/ notification sound at max, it's quiet. 1/2016 stopped working Android 5.1.1. Was 5 star app. Used to bug people around me, because it was too loud: Now too soft, can barely hear it beep not even sure if it is working on Galaxy S4 Android 4.3, (loved it on S2 4.1.2).. wish I could control volume of beep. ;-) This used to help me keep track of wasted time, especially when playing games/on Internet.
This app allows me to keep track of time without having to check time just like the old timex watches. Would be great if it also vibrated. A must have.
I wanted to receive my last beep when this program would require running for another cycle where I thought it did not need to. SORRY FOR THAT.
Thank you for developing this app! Will give feedback if any problems occur.
Exactly for those people who are missing their Casio digital watch that beeps every hour. Perfectly done !
Have been using this app for a while and following a firmware update this app no longer beeps on the hour, either by default sound or one I pick. Devs please sort this asap...
Got the stock Lolipop 5.1.1 yesterday and the app stopped working. Does not chime anymore. Used to work perfectly.
Doctor suggested me to drink water every hour...you made my life is to keep me healthy thanks a ton.
Love this app. Works great. The only thing needed to make it perfect is to have a media volume setting so that it doesn't blast chimes at full volume.
I always loved that hourly chime on my old watch, now I can have it on my phone! You can also change it to any other tone/tune you like. Great little app!
You can add support for mi band just by making the the app create a notification every time it beeps. Please do it.
I used to have a Citizen Pro100 watch which would beep on the hour and i missed having that gentle reminder of the time without looking at my watch so this gets 5 stars, this App will never leave my phone.
So, it does what it says, though the default sound isn't quite loud enough. No biggie, I found the actual Casio watch alarm beep sound effect on YouTube and made an mp3 of it. So now I get the actual watch beep every hour. Good work.
The app itself functions very well, but beep is just too loud. I have to turn my notification volume down to the point where I can barely hear my texts, emails, etc for the beep not to be annoyingly loud. This app needs independent volume control. The volume is alright if I'm wearing headphones, though.
1/2016 stopped working Android 5.1.1. Was a 5 star app. Used to bug people around me, because it was too loud, but now it is too soft, can barely hear it beep not even sure if it is working on Galaxy S4 Android 4.3, (loved it on S2 4.1.2).. wish I could control volume of beep. ;-) This used to help me keep track of wasted time, especially when playing games or anything on the internet, because sometimes I get immersed and lose track. Now, when I get immersed I don't even know when it alerts me.
Sir, I was looking this type of light App to indicate time intervals. After installing this, I uninstalled other App which was cosuming more than 35MB. Thank you very much.

Simple and do what is need for. But after the last update on my Note 4 it stopped working. Please fix that because this app is very useful.
Was using this app for years in my Galaxy S3 and I like it very much. However this app is not working in my Galaxy Note 5. Any instruction on how to get it working in Note 5. Missing the "beep beep". Is it Samsung issue. Please fix it.
Let the program have its own volume control because some people like myself usually keep their phone on silence all day long but I still wish to hear the beep.
Ive been a casio fan since the 80's I just had to have this app
doesnt work on s6

Simple effective time monitor for people who like to observe the passage of time. No fuss and no bull, simplicity often prevails. Thanks Dev.
I use this piece of app to remember of my mindfulness of breath, to come back out of useless thoughts every half an hour. Thank God, it helps me lot in awareness of fleeting time.. Good App..
Amazingly, this one is the best among the hourly-chime softwares I have tried, much more convenient to use than the others, even those non-free or ads-supported ones.
I was expecting more than obe "Default" tune to choose from and there is no option to preview the beep until the next half hour.
But I wish the volume wasn't linked to notification volumes.
Nice app. Lightweight and Works as advertised. It would be nice to be able to use vibration when should is off.
Most efficient hourly chime. Thank you for sharring.
Don't want it to beep as loud as my ringer. If ringer is turned all the way up, so is the hour beep. To loud, annoys some people I'm around.

There used to be a time when I wore digital watches to school and their chime function beeps on every hour. Watch Beep does exactly that and even has half hour reminders which keeps me aware of the time without looking at a watch or wall clock. A must have app for everyone!
I can't imagine my smartphone without hourly beeping for now. I use this app for about one year.
1. Makes exactly i need - to drink water every hour; 2. Looks like right technical decision, with no additional battery consuming. 5 stars
Works fine on my Note 2 even though the app hasn't been updated for over a year. Needs to show what sounds are set and play those sounds when chosen. As it is, you don't hear the set sounds when setting up the app and can't check to even see the name of the current sounds chosen like most ANY app does when choosing sounds. Also needs its own volume setting.

Does what I wanted but it occasionally beeps 20 to 30 seconds after the hour or half hour. I can't seem to find anything that might cause this. A standard install on all my devices, though.
