Definitely not buying this again if I can’t hear the chimes in the background on any device! ### 1/5 — Keine Einstellungen möglich *2020-02-16, version 3.0* Es sind keine Einstellungen möglich, App stürtzt sofort ab! ### 1/5 — The app doesn't work. *2019-12-22, version 3.0* The 5-6 simple basic features are untested and don't work as advertised. If it just did what it was supposed to I would have liked it. ### 1/5 — Issue with ios13 ? *2019-10-02, version 3.0* When opening settings with devices under ios13, settings quit: so no setting means no use. Under ios12, it works. App should be removed soon from AppStore. ### 1/5 — Not working iOS 13 *2019-09-23, version 3.0* Please give me back my money . Thanks ### 1/5 — Chime won’t stop even after I decided app *2018-12-12, version 3.0* I purchased this app because I love the tic toc however I hate the chimes every hour and half hour going off no matter what I’m doing on my phone I tryed turning them off several times when that didn’t work I regrettably deleted the app from my phone and turned my phone off and on again and the chimes still go off...... someone please help me with this I paid good money for this app all I wanted was the tic toc ### 3/5 — Not worth it on IPod *2018-03-27, version 3.0* App stops working as soon as you try to do ANYTHING else on the iPod - ticking and chiming only works if you just stare at the clock. Zoom out to check email? Clock stops. Go into settings? Clock stops. Go to leave a review at the App Store? Clock stops. I gave it two stars as it’s nice to listen to when you go to bed - but that’s the only time I can actually USE/ENJOY Little Ben. I wanted to hear a nice Grandfather Clock sound while online - but I guess I have to save up hundreds of dollars and buy an actual Grandfather Clock as we are YEARS away from the technical wizardry needed to play a tick-tock sound on our iPods ### 2/5 — Lock screen *2016-11-11, version 3.0* Doesn't work when phone locks out. Very upset with it ### 3/5 — Little Ben prevents battery from charging *2016-09-18, version 3.0* Little Ben Using iPad 4 with Retina display Model A1458 (Wi-Fi version) iOS 10.0.1 Using Little Ben $1.99 Version 3 When Little Ben is active in the foreground the iPad battery won't charge When Little Ben is in the background the iPad battery will charge Please advise ### 2/5 — Not much to it *2016-01-12, version 3.0* This is not much more than a novelty. Pointless really, if you carry your device with you and don't care to annoy everyone around you. Besides that, the quarterly chimes function doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Avid clock collector *2012-09-21, version 1.2.1* It's hard to tell what the West Minster chimes sound like cause, even though there's an icon to turn on quarterly chimes, they won't activate. The ticking sounds more like the balance wheel from an old alarm clock rather than the metal tick of a real pendulum operated grand-father clock. The app is very unstructured. It's difficult to tell what you're turning on and off and impossible to set the start and end times for the chimes. Some people will do anything to rip people off. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Little Ben does NOT work *2022-01-30, version 3.0* iPad Pro running iPadOS 15.3. If the app is running in the background it does not chime. If the app is the only app running it does not chime. I have tried every permutation of the settings and still nothing. ### 1/5 — Did not work on Iphone 6s+ *2021-08-31, version 3.0* $2 down the crapper. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-05-07* Chimes don’t work. Hourly bongs only works sometimes. Probably not compatible with latest iOS? ### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 13 *2020-09-27, version 3.0* Nice in the past, but not anymore. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2020-09-27, version 3.0* I do not understand why some apps remain available when they do not work well. This app is one of them - do not buy. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-08-29, version 3.0* I had this app for years on my old phone. Paid to get it again, but it doesn’t work. The app opens, but crashes every time I try to open settings. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2020-08-16, version 3.0* App closes as Soon as try to do any settings ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!! *2020-05-10, version 3.0* App pens but not the settings within it!! ### 1/5 — Du vol *2020-05-08, version 3.0* Ne fonctionne pas ! Merci de me rendre mon argent ! ### 1/5 — I loved this app when it came out *2020-04-07, version 3.0* However now it does not work at all on iOS 13. Do not buy! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good but quarters are wrong *2025-02-09, version 3.0* This is a beautiful clock but you got the quarters wrong on quarter like :15 e d c g :30 c e d g c d e c :45 e c d g g d e c e d c g :00 is correct ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-08-23, version 3.0* That clock is so cute ### 5/5 — Gave it a 5star to grab everyone’s attention *2019-12-04, version 3.0* This app is 100% not worth any amount of money. I read reviews on apps all of the time and think that “it was user error” or “they fixed the bugs by now”. THIS APP DOES NOT WORK. Was not user error and they have not fixed the bugs, in fact, I would say that it is now operating worse then the original reviews indicated. Unless the developer refunds my money or they specifically fix the bugs on this particular app - I would say it should be taken out of the App Store all together. Otherwise you are paying for air in a bottle! USELESS ### 5/5 — Sehr schöne Uhr App. *2018-05-07, version 3.0* Die Uhr sieht gut aus und der Glockenschlag ertönt bei geschlossener App stündlich. Bei geöffneter App kann man die Uhr auch viertelstündlich schlagen lassen. Ein paar zusätzliche Skins wären schön. ### 5/5 — Elegant and Intuitive *2016-03-09, version 3.0* My chiming mantel clock is being serviced, and the silence was driving me batty! This app was easy to set up and subs nicely. I just run the app and put it on the charger, it makes the ticking sound as well and doesn't go to sleep when app is in the foreground. I have it chiming every 15 minutes just like my real one. ### 5/5 — Best Chime Clock App *2015-09-03, version 2.0.2* I normally don't write reviews, but this app is so good I was compelled. It has great clock face design. The detail on the tick-tock and chimes is outstanding. The hourly strike could have a slight reduction in the high frequency, a little tinny. I love this clock. ### 5/5 — Gefällt mir *2014-02-15, version 2.0.2* Eine nette kleine App. Beim Läuten zur Viertelstunde muss ich immer Schmunzeln... Macht Spass. (die Lite-Version scheint identisch hat aber eine dauerhafte Werbeeinblendung. Gut zum Ausprobieren). ### 5/5 — Little Ben is a beautiful clock app *2013-11-12, version 2.0.2* Good app little Ben happy it was updated better chime an tick sound I enjoy it always thanks john ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT *2010-07-28, version 0* HORLOGE DE MON ENFANCE:):):) ### 4/5 — Needs some chime adjustments *2012-11-28, version 1.2.1* The chime is out of tune and does not sound very realistic.. If you can just make them sound like classic grandfather clock bells Then It would be perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
