User reviews

Great for keeping track of time

Really useful for staying aware of time without constantly checking my phone. I like using the 30-minute chimes during focused work, and the sound-only mode is especially nice because it doesn’t clutter my lock screen with notifications. The sounds feel thoughtfully chosen, and the app is simple enough that it just fits into my day.

Does not work on Apple Watch

After downloading the app to try it out and contemplating purchasing it, I found that the settings included instructions for Apple Watch compatibility. However, I was unable to get it to function properly. I contacted the developers three times via email for help, but to no avail. Checking the website, I discovered it does not support the Apple Watch. I removed the app and left a review, highlighting this discrepancy between the app's claims and the website's information.

Response from developer

I’m very sorry for the delayed reply. Due to a technical issue with my email, I only just saw your message. To clarify: Chime Birds currently does not have a standalone Apple Watch app, and Apple Watch support is not a Pro-only feature. At the moment, Chime Birds is focused on iPhone chimes.
