Marine Bells - Ships Bells To Go App Reviews

It would be nice to hear the chime before buying the app. I have two Chelsea clocks but wanted something in my cell. The chimes are being compared to the Chelsea clocks and are okay.

I paid for and downloaded the app and it doesnt work. I touch the button, the screen goes black for two seconds and then right back to my home screen. Sent an email to the company and got a response asking about my phone and iOS, like I didnt check that already, havent heard from them since. Dont waste your time and money with this app.

I like this app a lot! You get what you expect. The only improvement I would suggest is the ability to hear the bells without having to take the phone off of silent. Most of the time I dont have the ringer on because I dont want to hear the phone ring but still would like to hear the bells.

My favorite clock will forever be a Chelsea Ships Bell, and this app is like having one of these masterpieces with me everywhere. The bells are authentic, the time is as precise as ones iPhone, and (aside from striking) the app is neither seen nor heard. Its easy to set a widow when the bell will be silent (e.g., overnight). The audio clip for the bell has had just enough tweaking to often seem to be coming from a next room. Highly recommended to all who love ships clocks.

Exactly what I was looking for. SEMPER FI! Bell tone is clear like on a ships Quarterdeck. Would be great if you added volume control for the specific app. Sound can be too loud in some situations. Like "Leatherneck 1975" suggestion too. Thanks.

I purchased and downloaded this app to my iPhone 6 Plus on 12 September. It is been running for 24 hours with volume all the way up, bells unmuted, and no other app working. It has not rung one time. I wish refunds could be credited through the App Store.

This is a great app and elegantly rendered. Never-the-less, I have a few suggestions: It took me a while to find the app on iTunes. My first try was "eight bell clock" -- that search returned nothing. I tried other searches without success, but while looking at a clock, I saw the "Marine Bells" under the heading, "Others have have looked at:" list of apps. Suggest Skylclock add other key words to improve searches. The feature of a silence schedule is nice for such times as sleep-time. However, the "Off Time" turns off the output before that time rings so that becomes the first time a bell is not heard rather than the last bell heard. I would prefer that this characteristic be changed and the schedule be changed from "On" and "Off" to "First Bell" and Last Bell"

This application does not work in the iOS6 or iOS7.1.1.

Not work in the iOS8

What a great portal into the past!

The time signalled by the bells is easy to learn, as well as being interesting. The bells sound pleasant tones marking every half hour with satellite-triggered accuracy. Helps keep track of the passage of your workday without constantly having to check the time on your phone. Sailors and their friends and families will also appreciate this connection to those aboard ship.

This app provides data on longitude and latitude. The bells are fun too.

Good for on the water or off the water! Pleasant chimes toll the time every half hour.

Sounds just like my Seth Thomas. I like the way in runs in the background.

I think the application looks and works great! Now the educator in me. Get those proof readers youve hired to check the spelling of the words in the instructions before release...... Analog Clock: The clock will show your local time unless you manully (manually) set a differnent (different) time. The Marine Bells will chime according to that set time as described in the section labeled Ships Bells Explained.

This is a great fun app for any sailor. Its an easy way to keep track of time while you surf the web or play games or even work! And for those who dont know the bell codes, theres easy access to the codes table. Great app!

This is a great app, but it needs one crucial update. If you have vibrate turned on then it vibrates every time the bells sound. Ive become conditioned to check my phone when I feel it vibrate which is frustrating to do every half hour. I turned it off on my phone all together because I love this app, but now Im missing calls. Please provide the option to turn it off for just the app. That would make this a five star review.

This app was just what I was looking for. It stikes time just as it should and always keeps me coordinated with the time in a way I like. The only few things I can suggest to improve it would be these: Since it knows your time zone it would be nice if it had an indicator of which watch your were in. IE forenoon, noon, first or second dog, evening and mid. Also since it knows your lat/long a sun indicator. Sunrise and set. Twilight and dawn. Moon phase would also be nice. Including moonrise and set. Add these features in an update and Ill be a happy sailor. Excellent app. Carry on if you will.

Ive been looking for an app like this for a long time. I actually missed hearing those bells during the work day. Boy was I surprised when I was curiously looking to see if it existed yet! This fits my needs perfectly. Thanks !!!

Id like a loud ringtone and a soft hourly bell but both are on the same volume control.
