With so many children unable to attend school during 2020, we created the 'My School Bell' app to help children who are missing their school routine and need the comfort and familiarity of the bells, timings, breaks, starts & finishes that they are used to, during a normal school day. My School Bell is a fun app that allows you to set a school bell to ring at chosen times on your device. Set alarms for the start of school, break times, lunch breaks, school finish or any other period during the day/week. You can choose the bell sound from many sounds, either a traditional school bell or a light 'ting-a-ling' school bell. FEATURES - Set as many School Bell alarms as required. - Select from 7 different alarm sounds. - Fun and friendly interface. SETUP - Turn on Notifications, to receive your School Bell alarms. - Ensure the sound is on, and volume turned up. - Create alarms for each school period. - Set the Time, Ringtone and Days for each alarm. We hope you enjoy using the My School Bell App with your children. Developed by UK Vehicle Data ©2020 www.ukvehicledata.co.uk
