I love the chimes!
I love this app so much! The Westminster Chimes are perfect because the notes of each chime are different, and extended and that makes it awesome. However, I have always wanted the PM hours to have the hour chime be a little bit higher pitched than the AM hours. I feel like that would be awesome because I have mine go all the time!

Liked it well enough to pay, still happy I did

The chimes are great, they help with time-awareness while I’m focused elsewhere. While I like the chimes, they do bother/distract some people in the vicinity. (Which is why I tried the voice version.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There should be a couple of additional voice options, one with an introductory chime and one without a chime, both with a voice simply saying, “It’s 3 PM.”
“It’s 3:15 PM.” “It’s 3:30 PM.” etc..
Example: Chime, then voice announcing “It’s 3 PM.”
Simple, precise, quick.
Personally, I don’t care for the imprecise phrase “It’s half past the hour.” Which hour?? I was outside of hearing range when it said “It’s top of the hour, 3 o’clock,” 30 minutes ago. Also, “It’s top of the hour” yeah, I’ve never heard anyone use that phrase IRL. Maybe it’s an old English idiom meant to match the chimes?
Anyway I’m going back to the chimes and will create yet another Focus so I can turn them off occasionally.

Do I recommend this 99¢ app which does Not collect our personal information? Absolutely! Just bc I want a couple of new features, doesn’t mean I don’t like it.

Useful Tool For Time Blindness
The hourly chimes were sort of helping so I figured I may as well pay for the upgrades to make the app more customizable for my needs. It was worth the small fee! I am able to have it only run during the hours I want to be productive. Using the voice option to announce the time (rather than have to count the chimes) keeps me from spending an entire day down a rabbit hole.
I would love more voice options if the creator ever has the urge to tinker with the app.
