  • Waste of time and money

    Followed directions exactly. Removed and reinstalled several times. All settings as directed. No bells. Waste of money.
  • Doesn't work with current iOS

    Works on iPad. Does NOT work on iPhone with current iOS 12.1.1. Request for assistance from developer unanswered. Very dissatisfied and disappointed.
  • Has to be reloaded

    So, why does it ring only 6 bells for last bell? I still can’t understand. Even tried to contact someone.

    I guess no answer is the answer.
  • Fun, but can’t always rely on an accurate number of rings

    I’ve enjoyed this app, but it doesn’t always chime the correct number of bells. And for the last bell, it often rings 6 times instead of 8. Is there a reason for this or is it a glitch?
  • Background App Refresh not working

    Great app but have to keep killing and restarting it to keep bells going even with background refresh enabled as pop up message says when it “winds down” and stops playing bells.

    Maybe no one mentioned this before? I’m on a 6S Plus.
  • Very glitchy

    The app will just not except the parameters that you type in. Too many bells and whistle‘s, no pun intended. Performance is very erratic. I found it to be a waste of a dollar. Not the end of the world.
  • No sound, bell is not even really a bell

    I just downloaded this for the first time today and set it up (with sound on and notifications enabled) with >20 mins to next bell. Nothing. Sound is enabled, everything is on.

    If you touch the anchor at the top of the screen it plays the sound. That works fine, but even the sound is clipped at the end.

    Total waste of the money paid.

    EDIT: The bells mysteriously started working at 9am the next day. Also, when the bells actually ring on schedule, the sound isn’t nearly as “clipped” at the end as when played through the app interface. Adding a few stars because it technically works (for now?) but man it’s buggy.

  • Cool when it works

    Had to install the app twice and then restart my iPhone 6 in order for it to work. It worked great for 24 hours and then after I silenced a couple of the “watch times,” it stopped working again. I’ve now installed it a 3rd time with the hopes that it works once more. UPDATE: Crappy app. Wish I could have my 99 cents back.

  • Keeps people guessing

    For those who never had to stand watch or never heard a Chelsea clock strike the watch. It is a good conversation piece for those who maybe nautically challenged!
  • Ships Bells

    I had another version of Ships Bells, updated my iPad, and Freud that the older version was not supported. No worries, went to the App Store and got the updated version. Only thing is that the sounds are chimes not bells. Can this be adjusted?
