What's New in Chimes!

2.2.3

November 1, 2026

For everyone • Set your area from where you are: tap the location button in the postcode box. • A blue dot now shows where you are on the map. • To save battery and data, the map pauses live van positions after 30 minutes untouched. Tap the map to carry on. Arrival chimes are not affected. For ice cream vendors • Location Sharing has a new layout: whether you're Live or Offline, then your settings at a glance. • Where customers see you: just in their area, or everywhere on the map. • Home area: mark the area around your yard and Chimes goes Offline when you're parked there. • Go Offline daily: choose a time and Chimes stops sharing at that time every day. Reliability improvements and bug fixes, including time pickers that did not open on some iPhones.

Nope, horrible

When I logged in I entered my zip code and distance that I wanted to drive, but when it showed me the map there weren’t any signs of ice cream trucks at all just a map. I suggest you try an app called Cool Bus Ice cream Truck Tracker.
NTNope, terrible

Doesn’t work.

I’ve tried to locate ice cream vans in my area, putting my postcode in and matching the requirements, but it doesn’t show me any ice cream vans in my area! Nor any where else!

Great app

Really useful app to alert you when an ice cream van is close by. Easy to change the postcode and radius so you can use it anywhere, not just at home.
