Complains about notification settings but settings are correct. ### 1/5 — not a clock. *2023-10-12* all you get are the chimes. was looking for a REAL CLOCK. Also no way to set time zone. no idea where this is from buts at least 7 hrs off. complete junk. ### 1/5 — Does not work !!!! Stay away !!!! *2022-03-05* Bought it and I even paid the extra $0.99 to get the chime expansion pack and it was a waste of my money. I sent the developer an email for assistance to no avail. Don’t wast your money like I did!! I don’t understand why there is so many positive 4 and 5 stars. Buyer you been warn !!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-11-01* Does not work on IOS15. Absolutely useless. Urgently needs fixing ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2021-10-18* The app stopped working after las Apple update, tried everything, even delete and reinstall but it won’t work. Emailed LutherSoft but never got a response. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2020-03-03* As soon a you close the app it forgets all of the settings you made. Even just minimising it seems to cause the app to reset some settings to default. The result is more chimes that desired in my case. I feel a bit ripped off but I’m glad I didn’t pay for the full version at least. How about an option to save your settings?? ### 4/5 — Speed Control *2025-03-09* Developers can you provide a speed control as the Westminster chimes I am used to have running a little faster with less dead air space between notes. This could easily be added to a future version please. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Too long *2021-12-11* I like the app but the chime goes on way too long. I would like a short chime not a long time of chime and dongs ### 5/5 — Charming app *2021-12-23* This app brings joy to an ailing family member who was missing the Westminster chimes in his new living situation. The sound quality of the chimes is superb, and their activation via Apple Notification service is genius. The app’s update for iOS 15 allows you to have the chimes sound even when your phone’s Do Not Disturb function is on (or not; it’s controlled by your iPhone “Focus” settings so you can choose either way). ### 5/5 — One of the most useful apps I have *2021-11-05* This is one of the best apps I have. Once you set it up it doesn’t need to be running in the background so I tend to forget it exists. I have it set to chime the hour and half hour from 9 AM to 11 PM Even my coworkers use it while we’re working they hear the chime and say “5:30, break time!” Every now and then someone hears the chimes and starts looking around for the source. When they find out it’s my phone they love the idea. The developer is very responsive. The one time I had an issue after an IOS update they responded promptly and it was fixed. They released an update to deal with this latest IOS 15 and all is well. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!! *2019-11-05* What a cool thing! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Fantastic clock movement replacement *2019-07-28* This app has replaced the chimes in an heirloom grandmother clock. Coupled wit an echo for good sound, the chimes are effect, high audio quality, and keep absolutely perfect time. ### 5/5 — Westminster Chimes *2019-06-02* Love this app 100% well pleased ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-02-27* I absolutely love this app. It’s like having a grandfather clock with you at all times. You should ser the looks I get while shopping, too cute for words until I tell them about this app! A big THANK YOU to the developers. ### 5/5 — Great little app for quarter hour reminders *2019-02-20* This is the only app that really works consistently to remind you with a chime on the quarter hour. I would love to see the ability to add other sounds. ### 5/5 — Very pleasant app. *2017-07-09* I enjoy having this app when I'm outside working and don't want to constantly look at the time. If I want to know the time to the nearest hour or so the chimes are most useful. I have had this on my phone for the last few years and have found no problems with it at all. I recommend this for anyone who wants an old fashion reminder of the time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
