This is a Marvelous App. This is one of the most helpful apps on my phone. I have a tendency to lose track of time. This app takes care of that problem for me. I was briefly without my phone, and I completely lost the sense of date, day, and time. The only issue I have with the app is rather complicated process one has to go through in setting the chimes timing and which sounds one would like to sound at each interval. This is especially true when one is setting a number of times per hour--like every quarter hour.

Pokemon spawn once/hr I have it set to make a very quiet chime, every hour at x:45 (except when sleeping). Why? Because I found out that every hour at x:45 am/pm a random pokemon spawns at my location and is only available for 15 minutes. So after I was late to open pokemon all day and all morning, I now have an audible reminder every time they spawn - even when pokemon is closed. Saves battery life! Yay pokemon and this app together ♡

Great little app I have been using this app for over a year. It is very simple and useful, with a lot of neat, advanced settings, if you care to dig deeper. I doubt I'll ever take it off my phone. Good work devs. 👍

Tasker support would be lovely. Well, sometimes, my schedule changes in irregular fashion. So that means I have to change the chime schedules manually. Sometimes I do forget to change it, so having a Tasker support where the chime automatically turns off would be lovely. Still 5 stars though.

Tyler Gable

Nice when it actually works This is a nice little app that let's you set customizable alarms to go off at certain intervals. The problem is it doesn't always work as intended. Sometimes the alarm goes off a couple minutes late, or it does the notification twice just seconds apart. I would give it five stars if it weren't so buggy. Note: I do not have any battery saving or application optimizations set, or if there are I have not been able to find the setting anywhere on my Galaxy S4, even after searching Google for help

Very good no major problems There is a problem on marshmallow... When the notification appears there are two... The first you can slide away but the second you have to click for it to disappear

Not very easy to setup or use A more simplistic user interface would have been better.

John Chasnoff April 26, 2016

Volume and Timing Issues Keeps resetting the volume to 100% and also randomly resets hours of use.

Tan Tek Hoei July 30, 2016

Suggestions 1.Able to set chimes by date. 2.Dings accordance hour.

Gaurav Gupta April 20, 2016

Not working at all Guys its a good initiative, please do work hard on this, it's not working at all.

Deepanshu Kumar July 1, 2016

Complex + Less effective Didn't notified me every time even after selected from options. Poor

Ed T March 26, 2016

Note 4 OEM Android 5.1.1 Can not choose sound type of chime. Only chimes hour to hour, or certain hours and either on a specific setting like 3:00&4:00, 3:15&4:15, 3:30&4:30, 3:45&4:45. Nice polished layout.

Caynax March 28, 2016

Hi. You can do that inside Chime definition. You can select any short sound from device.

A Google User June 3, 2016

Jee's way too complicated. This is awful Also lot of free ones out there too

Caynax June 3, 2016

This one is also free. It might be a little "too much" to start with but it gives you lots of configuration.

abbey ssebaggala August 4, 2016

Errors need to be fixed It has failed to work on Tecno L6, Tecno C5 and Tecno C9

Shubham Jhanwar May 28, 2016

Quite useful & simple to use app It would have been good if user should be allowed to even use a playlist for hourly chime, with each chime# having respective track#🤔

Paul Belardi May 3, 2016

Can't change the chime sound so I don't know if it's this app or something else without looking at the time

Caynax May 4, 2016

Hi. Please go too chime definition. You can chge it there. By default it uses notification sound.

A Google User August 28, 2016

Hi, Why it won't works anymore after I upgrade my Huawei P8 to Android 6?

Caynax August 29, 2016

Hi. Please add app to "Protected apps" list inside device Battery settings.

Nino Sidari June 21, 2016

Doesn't work...I don't have any battery saving or optimization running

Caynax June 21, 2016

Hi. You must exclude app in any battery saving mode or application optimization that your device might have,

Paul Brew May 7, 2016

Love it I had a casio watch and I missed the hourly beep when it finally died, this App is what I was looking for the amount of customisation is brilliant...... Thank you.

Cesar Ibrahim September 12, 2016

Good app It is a good app, question please, what does chime's mode mean? [:00] .. meant

Caynax September 12, 2016

Hi. App can play sound or speak any text (like speak time) via device Text To Speech feature. Edit: [:00] - chime at full hour, [:15] - chime at fifteenth minute of selected hour. In PRO version you can set up any minute you want. Free version supports most common minutes :00, :15, :30, :45.

Soumilok Mondal September 24, 2016

Yeah. I've put hourly chime with the same sound as my casio watch i used to own as a kid...

Jerry Albright August 18, 2016

It Works Using on a Note 3, This app works as advertised. Good customization options. Kudos to the Developer.

Johnnie H July 24, 2016

Simply Good app This is the app which let me know the time is flying. Easy to set. I love it.

Aghor Koli August 2, 2016

Good app Why is the app stopping to work after I remove it from task manager?

Caynax August 3, 2016

Hi. Why would you use task managers in Android 5.1? Android itself handles optimizations well. App should work well if you remove it from Recent Apps list.

Godfather April 27, 2016

Right on time...Every time, every hour.

A Google User July 28, 2016

Hi. Please disable battery optimization for "Hourly chime" app inside device battery optimization settings.

Very useful

Portraito Netelo December 23, 2015

Bug or Not you decide.. App works great and chimes accurately BUT noticed huge battery drain. I hope devs can come with a fix. Tks. EDIT>>> : Thanks dev, for the fast response. Yes, disabling that option did make my battery go back to normal. Maybe, just a suggestion you may want to add a line next to the "set chime as alarm clock" option that enabling it may take more resources off the battery. Anyway, you are back on 5 star 🌟 with me. Keep it up!

Minibook Andabien January 20, 2016

the app is wonderfull, it does what it says. the only (BIG) problem is that it stops working on every reboot or if the phone is turned off and on. I have to open the app and close it in order for the chimes to work again. Tryed everything on both my phones and it just can´t be achieved.

Caynax January 21, 2016

Hi, Please make sure app is installed on internal memory - it won't work if installed on Sd-Card.

Anonymous Person November 27, 2015

Does not have its own tones If you want to use your own tones great. It has many settings but personally only wanted something simple with Big Ben or the like.

David Talcott December 29, 2015

chimes late I have checked "set time as alarm clock", but the chime is still three or four minutes late. This only started in the last month or so. Before that it was right on time. Maybe bug in the 4.7 update? I am using Android 5.0 on Samsung GS5. Update: thanks for reply, I can accept that this is Samsung bug since others say it works fine. I will look for Samsung fix. Caynax is very responsive!

Caynax December 29, 2015

Hi. This is Samsung bug - lots of users complain about but I can't do anything about it. Please check if there is Samsung update available.

Robert Katz December 23, 2015

No longer useful after last update I keep Bluetooth earpiece turned on and on my desk all day. Now I never hear the hourly chime unless I wear the earpiece.

Marc LAMBERT January 18, 2016

Worked on my Moto E XT1022. Does not work on my Wiko Rainbow Jam 4G (chime at past 10)...

Caynax January 20, 2016

Please check if setting "Set chime as alarm clock" is turned on. App must be installed on device internal memory. If it works when device screen is turned on and doesn't work when screen is off then this is result of battery saving mode active.

What's New
