### 4/5 — Eine App die ich so gesucht habe

*2026-06-25, version 4.1*

Ich bin ziemlich zufrieden damit. 

Die Benutzerführung ist in einigen Bereichen holprig, die Benachrichtigungen würde ich gerne abstellen können, aber was ich wirklich wünsche: 
eine Lautstärkeeinstellung für die Töne (das brächte den 5. Stern)

### 5/5 — Aplicación ampliamente recomendada

*2025-12-31, version 4.1*

Excelente aplicación variados sonidos funcional recomendable

### 3/5 — 不錯的app 但不符合需求

*2025-12-07, version 4.1*

優點：高度靈活自定義的報時設定，可愛好用的介面，多種鈴聲選擇
缺點：自製鈴聲只能錄音，無法上傳音檔，不符需求；此外手機設定為深色模式時，部分文字會消失，應該是因為文字從黑色被轉成白色時，背景卻還保持白色，造成文字看不見的情況，還以為出bug了

### 1/5 — Нет сигналов.

*2025-10-02, version 4.1*

Приложение дает сигналы времени не каждый час, а тогда, когда захочет само. Несколько раз перезапускал и всё равно.  Час - два сигналит, потом тишина.

### 5/5 — se las recomiendo

*2025-08-20, version 4.1*

Es muy buena, yo tengo con esta app más de ocho años y me sigue gustando buena bonita y gratis Por eso le doy sus cinco estrellas 100% recomendada 👍

### 4/5 — Wenn Stunden Signal auf der Watch, dann ertönt kein Gong auf dem iPhone

*2025-08-15, version 4.1*

Ich mag diese App sie ist wirklich toll. Die Sounds sind wirklich klasse. Allerdings wenn man die Mitteilungen auf der Watch dazu schaltet, dann kriegt man diese nur auf die Watch aber das iPhone ist still. Deswegen habe ich die Watch Mitteilungen ausgeschaltet, damit ich auf dem iPhone meine Freude daran haben kann. Dings würde ich mich mal wieder über neue Sounds freuen. Also keine Voice Sounds, sondern Glockensounds von mehreren Band Uhren und vielleicht auch noch eine andere Kuckucksuhr oder so aber sonst funktioniert sie tadellos.

### 5/5 — 좋아요. ^^

*2025-07-05, version 4.1*

시간차임만 필요해서 받았는데 몇년동안 진짜 잘쓰고있습니다. 다른 앱도 받아봤는데 이것만큼 괜찮은게 없어요. 제가 일할 때 정시 알람이 필요한데 시계를 못봐서 주머니에 폰을 넣어두는데 알아서 알려주니 저처럼 필요하신분은 이 어플 추천합니다.

### 2/5 — 系統預設通知不夠用

*2025-06-12, version 4.1*

1、買了專業版有點後悔，因為還是跟免費版一樣被限制最多只能設定64個通知，請問：專業版不能再增加通知的數量嗎？
2、自從更新為iOS 18.5後，這app的聲音就會自動被關閉，打開也沒用，因為下次它又自己關掉，煩請修正回復正常，謝謝！

### 2/5 — The new update have bug

*2025-03-10, version 4.1*

Before the new update works fine. Hope they can fix that bug soon.

### 1/5 — No chimes

*2025-01-20, version 4.1*

No chimes
