### 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)

### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — 整體來說算不錯

*2024-05-17, version 4.1*

功能還不錯 可以代入自己喜歡的聲音
也可以換圖片 
或是編組之類的
雖然這些功能都還蠻廢的
但是可以滿足自己莫名的支配慾（？

### 4/5 — Buena

*2024-01-31, version 4.1*

Buena. Pero me gustaría que me diga la hora hablada en español al estilo de idioma de México. O no se programarla ?

### 3/5 — La aplicación no me funciona bien.

*2023-12-27, version 4.1*

Desde que se actualizó la versión de iOS 17, la aplicación no funciona cuando le da la gana. Mi pregunta es es que no se actualiza esta aplicación? Pues yo tengo la versión pro y creo que debería funcionar bien

### 2/5 — 환불

*2023-10-06, version 4.1*

환불해주세요 못쓰겠네요

### 1/5 — For free i like it but now i paid for pro version

*2022-11-30, version 4.1*

### 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.

### 1/5 — No chimes

*2025-01-20, version 4.1*

No chimes

### 1/5 — Good idea - Terrible execution

*2025-01-01, version 4.1*

I've installed this twice. Investigated every piece of it. Learned how to add time. If time is not on the hour (e.g., 10:10pm), it doesn't show up in order... it shows up with the morning. Checked out AM/PM and also the toggle and when the toggle is on for 12 hour, the PM times read pmAM. I'm on GMT time and it's not DST right now and so I'm set on zero. GMT is zero unless the app tells me otherwise. So far not a single chime has gone off. Is the off set time set on an Asian time zone? If so, tell us. If not, the app is useless if it won't chime.

### 1/5 — 聲音

*2025-01-01, version 4.1*

都不能使用

### 1/5 — Not working.

*2024-10-25, version 4.1*

It’s not working on my watch. All the sounds are on my phone :(

### 1/5 — 鬧鈴聲消失⋯⋯

*2024-06-16, version 4.1*

幾年還很好用 🥲

### 1/5 — Con iOS 17 a dejado de funcionar

*2023-10-02, version 4.1*

Buenas, contacto con el soporte técnico para comentarles e informarles, que la aplicación DIII NOTIFY, ha dejado de dar las notificaciones por sonido, después de actualizar mi iPhone 14 a iOS 17.
Anteriormente trabajos sin ningún tipo de problemas, pero después de esta actualización iOS 17 y posteriores 17.0.1 y 17.0.2, la aplicación ha dejado de trabajar, por favor le rogaría que solucionara el problema lo antes posible.

Juan

### 1/5 — 不能用的垃圾

*2023-10-01, version 4.1*

千萬別花錢買這個app，不能使用! 寫信反應多次也不理，開發者說目前沒有更新計畫，那何必花錢受罪⋯⋯讓它下架吧！詐騙軟件！

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-03-24, version 4.1*

First off it will not work without having a constant connection between your watch and phone.  Second, only one stinking male voice tells time in English.  The app is ridiculously confusing and cost $6.  Take notes from other app developers who have already done this successfully for iPhones, please!

### 1/5 — 환불해주세요

*2022-12-11, version 4.1*

각종 오류가 다 나오네요 
시간 변경도 안되고 (변경하고 나면 시간이 저절로 바뀌어있어요) 켜놧던 알람이 꺼지고 알람도 정각에 울리지 않고.. 그래서 유료로 결제했는데 오류는 여전합니다 맘대로 켜진 알람도 꺼지고... 환불 부탁드립니다 방금결제했는데 도저히 못쓰겠어요

### 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.
