### 2/5 — Please make it work again!!

*2026-06-13*

Ever since I updated my phone to iOs 26.5, the app no longer works. I tried deleting and re-installing the app few times, but it was not helpful. When I do time signal test, the sound chimes as it should.  But when the time comes for it to chime, it never goes off. Please fix this!!

### 2/5 — 鳴ったり鳴らなかったり

*2026-05-10*

タイトルの通り、原因は分からないのですが起動にムラがあります。きちんと作動すれば結構良いアプリなんですが、鳴らない時があるのは致命的ですね…。

### 5/5 — Great for small schools

*2026-01-19*

I use this app with the Westminster chime in my English school to chime at the start of classes. I have it on an iPad connected to Bluetooth speakers so it’s quite loud. It really helps with time management for myself and the students.

### 5/5 — 時報の便利なアプリ

*2025-11-02*

NHKとけいのアプリがなくなり、毎正時に時報を流せるアプリが無くなったのですが、このアプリは正しく毎正時の打つことができるアプリとして、重宝しています。

### 1/5 — 今日、鳴かないです…

*2025-09-10*

今日、鳴かないです…どうしてでしょう？
ON/OFFも試してみました…

### 2/5 — バグってる？

*2025-09-07*

最近、時報の音がならなくなり再設定したものの、時間数で勝手になるようになりました。設定は1回にしてます。

### 5/5 — 重宝

*2025-07-13*

シンプルで使いやすい。とても助かっています。

### 4/5 — 音量設定

*2025-05-16*

猫声で使用、時間の経過を認識できて、長年愛用しています。
一つ残念なのは、音量の設定が希望通りになりません。ラジオや音楽を聴くため大きめの音量にしていると、大音量で猫が鳴きます。アプリの音量設定は最小にしていますが。

### 5/5 — 通知を開いてしまうと音が消えます

*2025-03-19*

普段は正常に（とは言っても音量調整してもMAX）なっていますが、何かの拍子に通知からアプリを開くとその後通知と音が消えます。テスト鳴らしたり、通知切って再設定したり、ごちゃごちゃすると復活する。何かしらの条件付けでしょうか？使う時はお気をつけて！

### 5/5 — シンプルな時報

*2025-02-09*

アップデート
ありがとうございます😆
毎日の生活に欠かせないので
嬉しいです😊
今後も使わせていただきます🍀
