Price History of Five Bells

Description of Five Bells

For sailors or anyone interested in maritime tradition. The ship’s bell has traditionally been used to mark the passage of time and the changeover of watches aboard ships. Five Bells aims to replicate this tradition on your iPhone®. Bells can be configured to sound a traditional or simplified sequence. Alternatively, a single bell can be struck every hour. A scheduled quiet-time can be enabled to prevent bells from sounding during a scheduled period. Additional information relevant to sailors is also provided.

Reviews of Five Bells

  • Great learning tool

    It’s easy to use and a great learning tool. When I watch the seafaring movies I enjoy knowing what the bells mean
  • Eight Bells and all’s well

    I’m retired US Navy. If you have a Naval or Coast Guard background and understand the eight bell cycle of time-telling, then this is the app for you. Easy to configure. Pleasant sounding ring tone on the bell itself. Overall, a fun way to keep track of time throughout the day without taking your iPhone out of pocket to glance at it.
  • Apple iwatch

    If you have an Apple Watch, this app doesn’t work. You don’t hear the bells on the phone. It sends a notification to the watch and it’s only one ding. Thankfully this is a free app. Maybe if it worked, I’d give it 5 stars.

    Developer Response

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re not happy with the app. If you take a look in the ‘Help and FAQs’ within the app, there is a section titled ‘If you have an Apple Watch…’, this should solve the problem. If it doesn’t solve the problem, you can contact me directly through the same Help screen.
