### 2/5 — Can barely hear the notifications

*2026-07-04, version 2.2*

Something is off

### 4/5 — Given 58 minutes

*2026-07-02, version 2.2*

Very helpful to just remind one that "yes, the day continues, time is linear and fixed, so if something needs to be done today, which stage of your plan for getting it done are you at?.....really?.....yes, tomorrow similar dimensions, what time shall we start?

Time announcements need more volume.

### 4/5 — Great App!     In a noisy environment all day.

*2026-06-21, version 2.2*

I use this with my Bluetooth hearing protection. Helps me keep track of time without having to look at the clock.

### 3/5 — Tôi ko vui

*2026-05-29, version 2.1*

Tại sao ko cho chọn nhạc tuỳ mình thích

### 4/5 — Few kinks need attention but otherwise alright

*2026-05-19, version 2.1*

Wish there was a 5  minute heads up option available to toggle on or off before each hour, for those who need to be aware/pay attention that the top of the hour is about approaching.
Otherwise works pretty well, unless the app has an ad going, cause if so the alarm does not always go off each hour.

### 3/5 — No “chime”

*2026-03-31, version 2.1*

It’s nice, tells the time in many languages. Wish there was options where it would just ding or “chime”

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-24, version 2.1*

Awesome

### 4/5 — 音の選択肢が欲しい

*2026-03-05, version 2.1*

音声のみではなく時報のような音源等の選択肢が有ると尚良いと思います

### 3/5 — 聲音太小聲

*2026-02-16, version 2.1*

能否獨立調整聲音大小

### 5/5 — Hourly Chime

*2026-02-11, version 2.1*

Works well and reliable, needs a volume overide switch so if volume down chime is still loud.
Maybe multiple chimes available.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-08-14, version 2.2*

Follow the instructions, turned on the alarms, three in a row did not ring. Deleted

### 1/5 — The hourly signal is not working

*2026-06-04, version 2.1*

A useless app. Nothing is working.

### 1/5 — No alarm

*2026-05-23, version 2.1*

First alarm, no sound

### 1/5 — Does not work for truck driver who travels in different time zone every few hours

*2026-05-13, version 2.1*

I had bad experience with this app not catching up to my phone time zone its displayed either behind or ahead current time zone.

### 1/5 — 앱

*2026-04-28*

어떻게 하나요
30분마다는 안되나요
목소리는 어떻게 바꾸나요
다른소리는 없나요
음악소리는 어떻게 바꾸나요

### 1/5 — Don’t buy. It doesn’t do anything.

*2026-03-24, version 2.1*

I set several hourly alarms and nothing happens when they’re supposed to go off.

### 1/5 — Audio not good

*2026-03-14, version 2.1*

This app has a voice that speaks the name of hour. So at 2PM tou get a verbal notification that says, “2PM”. I prefer to be notified with a sound (e.g., a chime), but that’s not an option with this app. I plan to delete this app from my phone.

### 1/5 — Was für ein Schrott 🤯

*2026-03-06, version 2.1*

Stündlicher Glockenschlag heißt die App und da denkt man. Na gut, einfache Aufgabe: jede Stunde ein Glockenschlag. Aber was man bekommt: eine KI Stimme die Zwölf null null oder neun null null sagt. Was für ein Schwachsinn, anstatt einfach ein paar Glockenschläge zur Auswahl zur stellen. Spart Euch die Zeit.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t always work!

*2026-03-05, version 2.1*

App worked for awhile but than stopped working!

### 1/5 — Won’t let me use it without personalised ads, I don’t allow any apps to do that to me.

*2026-02-20, version 2.1*

Could be a good app but dev is greedy
