| 2024-09-11 |  | | Pretty good, except that it needs a separate volume button. Developers instead decided to use the media control volume, and that, in my view, can create issues. It wouldn't have been so bad if they had opted to use the alarm, or, maybe, even the notification volume. |
| 2024-09-10 |  | | So it does what it says on the tin but on android at least it starts to play the alarm an additional time every hour until you reboot your phone. So I woke up to the beep going off 8 times instead of once for instance. Idk if I'm understanding the exact cause but having your 5 minute alarm slowly take longer and longer to stop over the week is both funny and kinda annoying. Pls fix. |
| 2024-08-12 |  | | This app is unreliable. Sometimes the chimes and voice work, and other times not. It skips a lot of times. I have turned off battery optimization. Worse, it uses far, far more RAM memory than any app I've ever used! This means either it is running some other Chinese spyware in the background, or it is very poorly coded. |
| 2024-07-04 |  | | It's very basic and hasn't had any kind of meaningful update in more than a year. It hardly ever triggers. I set it up, it works for like a day, and then I eventually forget that it's installed. So disappointed. Old: I'm liking this app. I just REALLY wish it had a setting for when it's in vibrate mode. It'd also be great if I could set up different patterns for when it's in vibrate mode. |
| 2024-06-25 |  | | Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The TEST works, the app is never killed, yet it's never triggered. If the ads weren't so persistent, I would try to work with the app more, but it's not worth the time and not worth correspondence.Other similar apps work just fine. This one should work also, for being such a primitive concept in the smart phone era. I just don't know how to do it! So I inadvertently depend on someone else.... |
| 2024-06-02 |  | | I have ADHD, and this app has really helped me handle my time blindness. I keep a Samsung Galaxy Bud in one ear when I'm around other people to not bother the notifications. Phone notifications drive me nuts, so I have those on vibrate. I really appreciate that I can have the apps notification play through the phone's music feature and not notification feature. I also appreciate that I can pick different types of notifications for different parts of the hour. |
| 2024-06-01 |  | | This version of the app works perfectly fine on a phone running Android 11. However, when running on a phone with Android 14, it can never chime on the hour. Instead, on my Android 14 phone, the hourly chime is ALWAYS delayed by 1, 2, 3 or 4 minutes! Recently, when installing this app on a new phone (also running Android 14), I saw there is a new version of this app renamed as "Mindfulness Chime - Pro". The new app does not have the "delay action" problem present in this app. |
| 2024-02-02 |  | | I love having this to keep track of time. But there are 2 problems. 1. It doesn't always chime. 2. It has a strange habit of not chiming on the correct time. It chimes 1-5 mins after the hour or half hour, which leads to me misgaging the time. If this was fixed it would have 5 stars. I did pay for premium and have recommended it to friends. Just don't like the bugs. Update Feb 2: This still chimes 1-5 mins late. Downgrading my rating to try and get the developers attention. |
| 2024-01-22 |  | | Ruined after update. First, it didn't had TTS pack, which was annoying. But, then I got the TTS. BUT, after the update, the chime never works on time. Sometimes, it chimes only, with no time speaking, and sometimes, it chimes, and speaks the time 8 minutes late, that too the 8 mins previous time. And, sometimes, it doesn't chime and only speaks the time. I loved the older version, but now it has become buggy & irritating. Please fix. |
| 2023-09-08 |  | | Works well. Easy to understand and set up. My only issue is that the chimes are not punctual - i.e. they don't always ring exactly on the hour or the clock positions you have it set up for. They can be up to 2 minutes late. Not sure if it's a bug, or just an Android thing. But for me, it's not a big deal. Just a minor annoyance. |
