Bells no longer ring. I use this app on my previous phone and the ships Bells worked perfectly. Now, they don't work at all: no test, no hourly, nothing. As a mariner, I would use this app while on watch so as to not disturb the rest of the crew. The functionality of this app is sorely missed.

Doesn't ring bells, just sends a notification with your normal ringtone. You can change this to a bell if you want, but it's unwieldy. With a ships bell app, you want to hear a BELL. Bells are sounds.

I like the bell. It sounds good. But what is with the vibrate? Vibrate is for a notification that is of extreme importance, such as the "dam has burst and your gonna drown!", not some silly background ding-dinging signalling the time of day. Less than 24-hours I've had this app and already I'm ready to delete it!

Instead of ringing bells I get a standard notification sound and a small text pop-up. I'm not the only one who complains that this app doesn't work.

Bells ring properly. Nice. Glad to have your app. And 1) as others have said, the notifications are often wrong. 2) eight bells should end a watch. So, for example, eight bells at noon, is eight bells in the Forenoon Watch (and not eight bell in the Afternoon Watch) . 3) add an option to select the post Nore Mutiny sequence for the "Last Dog Watch."

This would be a much better app if there were a couple of tweaks/fixes. First it would be nice if the Dog Watch were broken into two...First and Last Dog Watch. Semantics, really. But it would be neat that way. Second, the 1st bell of each watch always shows the wrong Watch name. My 1st bell of the Forenoon Watch was called 1st Bell on the Morning Watch and this seems to happen with each 1st bell. I also had trouble getting the bells to actually ring. Not sure if it was my ring volume or app volume or what. But somehow, I got them to ring.
