Doesn’t have my school

I bought it knowing it most likely won’t have my school in hopes I could program my schedule independently but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.

Horrible

Missing buttons, no text or instructions…. Avoid at all costs

Amazing app

I did not see my school on the list so I sent them what they needed and they got it on there in a couple hours. If your app doesn’t show anything except white like what happened to me. It’s probably because your phone is on dark mode

Adjusting minutes

First of all , let me share that the app has been a lifesaver. However , my school recently changed there schedule. I read the instructions on how to adjust the seconds or minutes, but the app is stuck on hours. Please advise me on how to change the hours to minutes to fit my new schedule.

Response from developer

Hello! We recently updated the interface to support time zone differences for remote learning, which is why you can now adjust hours. If you want to update your school's schedule, please submit the new schedule at https://www.bellbuddyapp.com/add-your-school.html and we'll send you an email once it's updated! Changing schedules in-app is an upcoming feature. Thank you for joining the BellBuddy family!

Can’t add my schools schedule

There is no menu not settings no nothing
Waste of money
No instructions on how to add your school

Hello! I'm sorry you encountered this problem. Please submit your school schedule at https://www.bellbuddyapp.com/add-your-school.html and we'll add it in for you!

Definitely worth it!

Love this app! Definitely worth the .99 I spent on it. They got our school schedule up very fast (like in a few hours!). It has been really helpful during distance learning for myself and my middle schooler.

While I gave it a five star rating, I do wish the developers would add a “bell” alert at the beginning or ending of a period which would make it extra helpful when you’re not “watching” the app. Also, I would love if it was available as a widget and/or an Apple Watch app to reduce the battery drain by having the app open. But even without those features it is definitely a five star and the cost!

Thank you for your feedback! We will work towards incorporating your suggestions into future BellBuddy updates.

Useless for homeschool

Was looking for a bell app for home schooling and turns out you can only select a preregistered school. What a waste of money. Should’ve just tried one of the free apps.

Response from developer

Hello! That's because we add your school for you! I'm happy to add your homeschool schedule to the list. Just go to https://www.bellbuddyapp.com/ and upload a document with your homeschool schedule. (I am working on custom schedules, but for now I am happy to upload your schedule for you, even if it's not an official school)

This is it

BellBuddy saves literally LIVES! I would never know when I had class if I didn’t have this app. The beautiful backgrounds and the horizontal viewing MAKES my life COMPLETE. The app is grossly under valued. It’s SUCH a steal! I would pay 10000x more for this app.

This app is BS

I just paid a dollar for an app that doesn’t work. There is only a list of maybe 10 schools and when I tried to see if I could customize one for my school the app kept crashing. Worse purchase ever!

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for sharing your problem. As stated in the app description, schedule customization is not yet supported—you just need to upload your schedule on our website, and I'll add it in for you. Everyone using the app has submitted their schedule for free on bellbuddyapp.com. Please go to https://www.bellbuddyapp.com/add-your-school.html to upload your school schedule. I will add it right away, and your $0.99 will not go to waste!

BEST APP EVER

This app is extremely helpful during school. I am really bad at remembering when periods start and end. Now all I need to do is open Bell Buddy! LOVEEEE THIS!

Super helpful!
