Runs Chimes in my Backyard

I’ve had this app for a long time. I recently installed a post clock in my backyard, plugged in an old iPhone 7 to speakers, and now I have Big Ben in the neighborhood. Surprisingly, neighbors love it!

Great for hands free work

By some margin the best 99p I have spent in ages.

Great but not perfect

The quarter bells on the hour should start a little earlier, maybe at xx:xx:37, to leave a longer gap. Not so bothered about the app interface itself, but minute hand should be moving fluidly like any clock. This would more capture the essence of Big Ben, but otherwise cool to have a striking clock app.

Love the bongs

Is there a way to have the chimes continue to bong when the phone is locked? Also would love to have chimes on my watch!

Big Ben night

Big Ben night

App truffa

Manco si apre. Don’t buy it

Doesn’t work

I’ve downloaded it three times and each time the app opens and then crashes.

Ne fonctionne pas

J’ai payé 1 euros pour une application qui ne s’ouvre même pas 😡

Big Ben

Minute hands not moving gradually, can you make it light up to reflect current daylight and sunset times depending on location gps settings.hands not moving, please make it light up according to sunset and daylight times to reflect current location to where I am in the uk etc. so when it asks for location settings for the app, I can tell it to use my location so it will do sunset and sunrise times depending on what day it is and also reflect depending on it being summer, autumn, winter, spring.

Volume Suggestion

The app does what it says it would do. It would be nice, however, if the chime volume was higher. It’s still too quiet even at max volume.

Won’t even open

I’ve just been charged to down load this Big Ben app as it seemed great. Now it’s downloaded, it won’t even open.
Don’t bother getting in touch with their app support because it just sends you to an advert trying to to sell you an app for a Mac

Suggestions

Lovely other wise

Please make the audio db level adjustable with a dial volume control.
Let the so called tick tock sounds be in sync with the second hand and I don’t know what the other noises are that play with it. Maybe if it where in sync it would be easier to discern?
Could the picture of Big Ben be made to display when the phone is locked inside of the apple defaults?
Could the tick tock be made to play even when locked?
Wouldn’t it be nice to see Big Ben instead of the default Lock Screen just like the photo frame settings that display pictures?

But if you look at the locked phone it now looks like bigben instead.

Request for a new feature

I like the app a lot but I think it I would prefer it to play the Westminster Chimes in the background even if the app isn’t running in the background

No sound

With iOS 17 it has no sound with the iPhone

Not work with iOS 17

The app was not working with iOS 17

Geht nicht 👎🏼

Very nice, but one thing could be changed

I love this app, it works like the real thing, although the chimes could be changed, since the recording that’s being used are the chimes from a while back, I wish that the present day chimes, which after the revavation now have a softer sweeter sound: PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONCEDERATION

Very very good

It’s a very good app and it lets you see the famous big band and you can hear it stick duck sound tick-tock’s

Really wish they would have volume out of the app

I wasted $ .99 on something that does not even chime and you have to turn off and turn on the Westminster chime to make it chime, other wise it bring London the California.

great app!

i love this app! i rate it 4/5,because it just needs the renovated big ben,blue clock face,quieter chimes and a 5 second delay between the quarter chimes and the hour chimes.
