Hourly

Hourly time notifications keep me on schedule. It has simple notifications, chime or spoken, that turn on, and most importantly turn off automatically. You do not have to stop what you are doing to turn off an alarm. Perfect background time management.

Simple, free... just what I wanted

The basic chime sounds work well for me, others are available for purchase.

Fantastic Hourly Chime!

My iPhone 15 IOS is 17.5.1 and this Chime is still working! I’ve tried other chimes but after a couple of IOS upgrades they quit working. Thanks for this one, it’s hanging in there…

More, please.

Works fine but . . . Could we have 24 hours, like, in a day? And I like the sound selection but could there be more? Maybe the existing notification tones?

This app helps me keep track of time

This app allows my iPhone to do a "wristwatch" beep on the hour. This very much helps me keep track of my day! I recommend.

App works best on iPhone, Apple Watch is lacking

Love the app and all of its features. Coming from a G-Shock, I love the hourly beeps but I don’t always have my iPhone on me so it would be PERFECT if we could get the sounds loaded and play directly from the Apple Watch.

Almost Perfect

Works exactly what I wanted it for. Gives me hourly reminders throughout my work day. I wish the app had more ringtones. I have been looking for a cuckoo chime for every hour. If you can add a cuckoo chime I would bring this app to 5 stars.

Useful but very basic

I really enjoy this product, as it helps me keep track of my day. It would be fantastic to have the option to change the chime to my personal sound or customize it using iOS sounds.

Overall good

Would like to turn off all notifications EXCEPT sound, so I don’t have to keep clearing out history. Would also like to choose start and end times, like before 7 or after 10.

great app!

really great app for keeping track of time. best out of all the other apps I've downloaded for this purpose.

Hourly works great….

My only wish is that I could choose which device it works on. I wanted the little vibration on my watch. It vibrates on the watch once for the watch and again in about 5-10 seconds for the phone.

Great App

So far the app is great the only issue I’m having is that it gives the hourly notification twice within 2 to 3 seconds of the first one. Would love to see an update to fix this.

Not perfect but works

There was another chime app, called Chime, that was the best. It could be customized for female or male voice. The chime could be customized for voice or a sound. This one seems to be limited as to what you can customize, or is not as straightforward as the other app. Second best is ok, perhaps.

The Greenwich Pips are timed correctly

I just installed this before the top of the hour, hoping that the Greenwich Pips would be correctly offset. They are! They start at :55 seconds, so the long end pip sounds at the top of the hour. Bravo!

Can’t live without it

Everybody who has my phone wants to know what it is and usually downloads it. The only thing I wish it did is to have multiple voices a little bit of variety.

Simple and Functional

Hourly does exactly what I needed, which is an audible notification at the top of each hour during daylight hours. Even I could set it up. The only reason for not going to five stars is, I would like to be able to choose different types of English, like British or Australian, and male or female derivations.

Great app

I did have to learn some by trial and error. This app will send to Apple Watch it you allow notifications from Hourly on Apple Watch. I did not want this I just wanted the chimes on my iPhone. Love the Time Signal sound. So I turned off notifications for Apple Watch and it works fine. You can set any time interval you want, but have to do it one at a time. I wish it could go to Apple Watch! All the Apple Watch gets is a tone.

Awesome app

I love the features

OK seems pretty good

I figured it out

Doesn’t chime unless phone is unlocked

Fires half the job I expected. I expected an hourly announcement on the hour. That only happens if your phone is unlocked.

Nothing special for Apple Watch

The only part of this app that works on the Apple Watch is an hourly beep. I contacted the developer and he said that SOMEDAY he hopes to make features like the Greenwich pips etc. available on the watch app. I deleted this app, I can manually make my watch beep.
