Not recommended

Very clunky and frustrating set up even now it is supposedly updated. Must get Notifications set up in a certain way as well to even get the chimes to work. Don’t waste your time and money on this software.

Why does notifications need to show up on the lock screen for this app to work?

I’m hoping at some point I can give this app five star review. At this point I can’t. One minute the app gets better and then another minute in the update, it gets broken. For instance, what I’m talking about is the following. You now have to have notifications for the sound to work. Whether it’s speech or chimes. I’m currently running iOS 27.0.1 as of this review and when I found out about this little incident or bug, I kind of found it. Shocking. So all day if this app is running, you have to clear out all of the notifications that Westminster chime is putting on your lock screen for notifications. If you turn off the banner, then the app won’t work. If you are visually impaired in your rely on sound, why do you need printed notifications on your lock screen to tell you what time it is? That’s pretty ridiculous. I am hoping that the app developer will take a look at this and discover that notifications aren’t necessary on your lock screen since it’s just a sound clock. I’m running full version of Westminster chimes and not the light version.

Nice App

I had to improvise a bit to get it to work i read the reviews and one mentioned., Accessories., Voiceover.
I turned that on., then off.
It works fine after that.
Be sure to also follow to popup instructions for the apps., Settings!
Sounds great!

If it worked…

I’m sure it would be great, and just what I wanted. Only, despite setting it up as detailed in the app, I won’t chime.

Does not work

I used to have this app a long time ago. I decided to reinstall it again, but now it no longer works.
