Good app. Make it louder, please.

This is a great app. Works fine. Please add more advanced settings such as volume of the bell, different bell sounds etc. Thank you.

過去の時報の通知が来てしまう

スマホと連携している腕時計を使用しています。バイブでの時報機能がないのですが、スマホの通知は来るのでこのアプリを使って30分ずつの時報機能としてます。
スマホの方で、過去の時報が鳴る時があり混乱してしまいます。是非、ぴったりの時報というよりは現在時間を確認した上で、過去の時報はしないモードがあると嬉しいです。

音声で喋らないクソ

クソアプリ。問い合わせても返事来ない。

Response from developer

まいにち時報

ボイス音量調整と通知のオンオフが出来たら良かったのに…

Response from developer

まいにち時報をご利用くださり誠にありがとうございます。 新バージョンにて音量項目で音量調整が可能になりました。 通知のオンオフも可能となっております。 今後ともまいにち時報をよろしくお願いいたします。

シンプルで最高

作業中につい脱線して、優先度の低い作業に過集中してしまう…という状態に悩んでおり、リズムを整えるために時報アプリを探していました。
簡単な設定で、30毎に、ライトなお知らせをしてくれるので大変気に入ってます。
ずんだもんにお知らせしてほしい一心で課金しましたが、何の後悔もありません。

追記:土日や特定の曜日に時報をオフにする機能が欲しいです

Response from developer

まいにち時報をご利用くださり誠にありがとうございます。高評価をいただきまして光栄です。 「ずんだもん」など5名のキャラクターボイスが設定できますのでぜひ引き続きご利用ください。 今後ともこちらのアプリをよろしくお願いいたします。
