Scheduling
I love this app and have used it for years to keep my classroom running in time. I love having a 5 minute warning bell before the ‘real’ school bell rings. I would love to be able to select more than one day for a particular bell — currently you are restricted to either weekdays or one day a week. We have the same schedule on Mo, Tu, Th, and Fr. But a shorter schedule on We. This means I have to make 7 bells for each day.

Apple Music is not compatible with this Application!!!
Currently on iOS 12.4.1. But getting this error Apple Music is not compatible with this Application. When trying to get song from the iTunes.
Great for my classroom
This app was just what I needed to bring school bells to my small classroom without having to buy a full PA system. I could set the bells to ring whenever I wanted, I could add my own sounds, and it worked with notifications on my old iPad. My students liked the music, and they actually looked forward to class ending! It was just what I was looking for.

Easily automate bell times!
Great app! Easy to set up and works well.
Deletes Bell Schedule When Updating
Used this app a couple of years ago, and when it updated it deleted all of my bells. I did not want to put them all in again, so I didn't use it again that year.
I tried it again this year, and it did the same thing upon updating. I will not waste any more time on it.

Sounds
I really like this app, it's almost perfect. I really wish there were more updated bell sounds to choose from, and maybe add more emergency alarms. Something, other than a bell, for a fire alarm option.
Good Concept; Needs work
This is a good little app to achieve a simple bell routine in a school. There are limitations to the app; the built in bell sounds are not useable in Australian schools. You can use your own tones as tracks but some functionality of the app is lost if using your own tones.
I have a number of suggestions for the developers but the only way to contact them is via their website which has an invalid email address.
The app could have the ability to set a default bell tone and the ability to have a set tone louder than others.
Start by fixing your contact system then refresh the app with some more functionality.

Uh Oh! It Broke! Bug Found!
When creating a new bell, changing he “days when bell will ring” section causes the app to crash. This was tested on two different devices both running IOS 9. It dies not matter what you change it to, it still crashes… Every time! Please fix ASAP as I rely on this app ever day!
Update this app
This app has tons of good features but 1 MAJOR drawback that need to be addressed by the designer. As a homeschooling mom, this has made a huge difference in our day.
Pros: I love that I can set tons of bells. It is the only thing I found that could do that. It has been instrumental in keeping my homeschooled son and I on track with our day. It has been a game changer in his attitude about the day and my ability to focus on my to do list without getting off schedule.
I am also able to link the bells with a song. Instead of telling my so. It's time for grammar, Weird Al's "Word Crimes" does the trick. He now comes to the table to do grammar in a good mood.
Con: This app will only work if it is active. If I am surfing the web, the bell won't ring. If I am typing a text, the bell won't ring. If someone called and I forgot to close the phone app, the bell won't ring. If I sent an email and forgot to close the email app,.... You get the point. Major pain. Having paid a lot for this app, I am not happy. The bells should work while the app is working in the background.
This app would be worth 5 starts for all it offers but since it only works 1/2 the time, I give it 2 stars. Fix this, and I will start telling all my friends about it.

Okay
This app is pretty basic and does the minimum, but why don't the bells stay in order? They're always mixed up. And there's no way to select only certain says for bells. There needs to be more flexibility when assigning days to use each bell. For example, at my school we have 2 different schedules every week, Mon & Fri, and then Tues/Wed/Thurs. This means that I have to turn bells on/off every day or input 3 different schedules, one for Mon, one for Fri, and then one for the rest of the week. And this does not include any special schedules. On the plus side, I love all the sound options!

Should be at the heart of every school bell system!
We use this app to set up school electronic bell systems. The school then has the option to use something else, or download this app for themselves.
It is very easy to setup & program, with an intuitive user interface. Just set the time you want a song or bell to start and that’s it! You can even have it broadcast alarms or personally recorded voice announcements.
Out of all the schools that we have migrated over to an electronic bell system, all of them have remained with this app. It does everything they need it to.
Great idea and an excellent job INKids!

Crashes and can't get data promised
The buttons are unresponsive. The app crashes ever time I open the iTunes button. It won't let me open the Dropbox feature to access their standard alerts. Very disappointing. Not worth $14.
Not working in ios8
Options seem great. Compatible with VoiceOver. Alarms never seem to work in ios8. Will check back later on this app.
Needs ios8 update ...
Please fix and update this app it's not working at all. I've got the iPhone 6 ios8..
Simple but affective
This app makes so much sense and cuts what could be thousands of dollars into virtually nothing. Stable and easy to use. Thanks!
Luv it
WOW!!!!!!!!! I luv it. It changed my iPad into a pa system
Wow, turn any old or new iphone into a PA system
Works fine, stabile with no crashes and comes with good bell and alarm sounds.
As far as the comment from another reviewer, it would make good sense to dedicate any old iphone to function as the school's PA SYSTEM.
Hence the need for it to work in the sleep mode is one essay.

DUMB!
This app won't even work in sleep mode. Who's gonna keep one app open all day to hear a bell ring?
Works Great!
I love this app. <3. It is just like a real PA system. I love the ios Update!!
