Very helpful
This is a very helpful app I use throughout the day.
Okayish
Loved this app until this year and now twice it has deleted my schedule
Apple Watch support?
I love this app. It does exactly what I need and doesn’t make it too complicated. Are there any plans to make it available on the Apple Watch? It would be great to have a complication that showed how much time left before the next bell.
Thanks!!
Still love this app. Would love it more if I could see it on my Apple Watch! Students aren’t allowed to have phones so I try not to take mine out during class.

Great!!
I work security for a large school and this app helps me track exactly when students are moving between classes and buildings. It’s very useful in keeping me at the right place at the right time. I also like how easy is to make changes to the schedule, and to keep multiple schedules. This is an excellent app and I’m very thankful for it.

Learning
So far love the ability to structure my schedule my way. Currently, wishing the alarm audio was louder, longer, and/or to have the ability to add my on audio.
Works great for Homeschool!
We use this to keep our Homeschool day moving along smoothly. The chimes are clear and louder than the iPhone alarms. The ability to modify each day allows for different schedules. I found the $2.99 fee was worth not having distracting ads. A+!

Response from developer
(Dec. 6) Tap the URL to launch the app and import the schedule. To save the schedule, you need to tap the save button. If you close the screen with a swipe, changes will be discarded. (Nov. 28) Please wait a few days.
No instructions
This app has no instructions on how to use it. And everything I figured out to add gets deleted.
No sound!
The app would be perfect if the bells actually rang. I made sure my silent mode was turned off and the bells still don't ring. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of using the app. I will look for something else to use.
Finally!
This is the only app out of the 15 I tied that is versatile enough to do the job! Thank you!
What happened to the clean look?
This app is great. The functionality is awesome. But the new blue gradient background looks pretty bad. Especially red buttons on blue background. I much preferred the cleaner look with a white background. The option to switch back should be included.
MORE SOUNDS
I would like more sounds. Shorter melodies? I would even purchase more sounds if possible? I love this app and it works great. I use it everyday. Please, a wider variety of sounds.
New layout?
Hi! This app works wonderfully! Love that you made it compatible with voiceover for us blind users. But one question, since the recent update, how do you go in and change the chime type? And also to change the different schedules?
It helps! / Suggestion
This app helps keep track of the time for school and it is easy to change. A suggestion that I have is that you are able to make your own bells and you are able to customize how the bell works
Terrible.
Dear Luis,

"(Mar. 10) We don't know the status of your device therefore please email support. (Feb. 5) Please turn off Silent/Sleep mode and tap the start button. If some chimes do not play, please restart your device or reinstall the app. Check chime test in the settings screen. (Jan. 20) It is a feature that appears after removing ads.”
I paid for the app. I reinstalled it like it said and it worked once. Had to re add the schedule. Again.
I have done this. The chime works when I test it but it doesn’t work when I hit start. I clearly stated that I added the schedule again.

Not user friendly at all
Cannot change alarm times. It has no instruction whatsoever.
App is good, as long as you don’t change time zones
We have changed location temporarily and all of the times are now wrong! The app noticed the time zone change (from US central to US eastern) but instead of changing one hour, it changed 54 minutes. 8:00 became 8:54. That does not make any sense. Our school has three different schedules on different days, one with 9 periods. I can edit it, but will have to do it again when we go back to our home time zone.
New update says it supports changing time zones. I won’t know until January if that is so. Upping to 4 stars until then. 5 if it works! Thanks!

Chime selection not working - fixed a couple of days after review
With the current release of Dec 1, 2020, the app no longer works properly. No matter which chime is picked, the air horn is played instead. Was working fine until current update.
Now it is working again with latest as of release Dec 5 . Thx.

Great to keep kids on schedule while remote learning
Update: The developer responded to me quickly and also updated the app within 1 day! Wow! Works great and I am able to use the chime I chose. Great app. Thanks so much for the quick response and update. Best online school schedule app. I use the app for both of my children’s schedules. One is in high school and the other in middle school. They have 3 different schedules and 9 classes in one week. This app helps them check into their appropriate remote classes on time. Kids are in remote learning due to the schools closing because of the increase cases of COVID-19 in my state.
This app has been very helpful at helping my kids check in their online classes on time. The different tones are great. Only problem I have with this app is you can’t get app support. Their website for support is confusing and I can’t contact them for support. Also, since the last updated, the chime you choose doesn’t work. It plays only the default chime. When you choose the chime you want and save it, it still plays the default chime when the alarm goes off.
