Ships

Works well,but the bugles calls are the short version or gets cut off for some reason. Would be even better if retreat was played at sundown like it should. Still getting the short version of the bugle calls. I have the paid version so I should be getting the full version.

Response from developer

Version 7.1 added an option in Settings to show 16:00 - 20:00 as a single watch.

What were you thinking?

This app only works when it feels like it; the help web page is empty; the controls for the bells are substandard; error messages are cryptic, unintelligible, and scroll off the screen. What is ‘wind the clock’ supposed to mean? It’s obvious that no one is supporting the app. I’m not paying a subscription for this unseaworthy nonsense! Give me back my money.

If you are unhappy, please unsubscribe and use another app

Bells stop

Please upgrade to make it so the bells won’t randomly stop. If I pay for an app, I expect it will always do what it’s supposed to do.

Response from developer

Bell delivery depends on your notification settings. You must open the app every few days to allow these to be scheduled. Enabling Background Refresh may help with this. If you are unhappy, please unsubscribe

Neurodivergent friendly

I tend to get distracted fairly easily. The ships bells are a handy reminder of the passage of time and help me refocus if I’ve drifted off-task. Being able to keep track of time without having to pull out my phone to check the clock also limits the possibility of further distractions. Very helpful.

I can’t get it to work

Nice concept but I cannot activate it and there are no instructions on how to make it work. Deleted and reinstalled twice with no difference.

Ridiculously Overpriced

Seriously you charge monthly for an app that barely works? Not worth the 2 bucks a month.

NOTHING WORKS in the APP now.

Victim of greed.

Revised review.

No bells to start. Restarted phone; no luck. But at 7:30AM the bells rang and have been flawless since. I am happy

Now had app for a few weeks. It turns off often

Just not reliable

Where did it go?

It’s a serviceable app, but when I went to reload it to my iPhone, it disappeared from the App Store :(
