Big Ben for Positive User Reviews

Almost perfect appThis app is very nice, especially the chime. It works very well even when my phone is in sleep mode. It could be better if the chime can be disable only at night by a time setting..Version: 2.0

Okay, best Big Ben/Westminster Clock App in iTunes.Please make it perfect by adding the feature to silence at night!.Version: 2.0

Excellent!More than excellent! Very nice graphics and sounds. BigBen works perfectly on my iPhone 3 even when I am not using the app! Thanks.Version: 2.0

Almost Perfect!This app is almost perfect for me. I’m not allowed to wear a watch at work so I have to rely on wall clocks and my phone all the time. I hate having to keep up with clock batteries and I often keep working rather than check my phone so an audible app like this is exactly what I need. The only change I’d like to see made is the option for night mode: set the app to stop tolling at 9pm and start again at 5am (or as desired). That being said, I can adjust the notifications or turn on the Night Mode app, though that also silences incoming messages so not 100% ideal..Version: 2.1.3

Good but..Would recommend having a night mode so it doesn't go off when I'm in bed..Version: 2.0

Great appI just simply love it. It brings a sense of good feeling when it chimes.... great. I feel, the quarterly chimes are bit too much. They could have made the quarter hour chime as an optional one with separate on/off key. Hourly chime is great, good sound quality....superb..Version: 2.0

Sounds like the real thingNice work. Well worth the dollar I spent. Can you make it chime on the hour and half hour? It gives me a taste of seeing the real thing later this year. Thanks again.Version: 0

Luv itI luve it can't w8 for update ty.Version: 0

Nice app...Helps me keep track of time, esp when gaming or doing other work, but just like the previous reviewer, I really wish there was a way to schedule 'silent time' in the app! The two images is a nice touch, but it'd be even nicer if there were more pictures for it to (automatically) choose from!.Version: 2.1

GRRRRRREAT! actually!Let me rectify my shot with my "False representation" review. Turns out I hadn't given the app the time to fully deploy its components and get fully working, as happens often with Apple iDevice apps. Because after missing two straight quarterhours, the app started working fine, even while inactive (or "killed"), and hasn't missed a single chime since. So I should have waited to post my review! It works just as specified. So no, don't turn away from it. It is sure worth its price. And, I'm also extremely satisfied with the sound quality. The volume is not adjustable, but it sounds at just the right level, loud and clear enough to be well heard yet never too loud as to disturb or to grab the attention of the people around you. The sound is great, and not tinny at all in my iPod touch's tinny speaker. In the earphones, it greatly replicates the heavy yet soft iron bells' sound. And when it's a bit noisy, it will sound so softly out the speaker like a clock tower chiming in the distance. This app also comes with a great clock display that works, and the 4th quarterhour even starts early to make BigBen strike on the hour, unlike other mobile Big Ben apps. On the clock though, the hands appear a bit pale (esp. on the daytime clock), and when they're together, the hour hand appears on top, while it's actually under. But these are very minor imperfections, and overall, kudos for a mobile app very well done!.Version: 2.0

Big BenBrilliant app. Much improved from the original. Particularly the chimes running in background even with screen off. Perfect for all those Big Ben buffs out there..Version: 2.0

Love itGreat ap, can’t believe I didn’t get it years ago when the original stopped, pointless, but worth it in its own way.Version: 2.1

Haha read...This is fun and very good u must update though!!! Maybe a better picture and you should be able to have the choice of weather you can have it as your display pic when you turn on your iPhone/iPod. If you do this, this app will be awsome better sounds also required.Version: 0

I like this app.I really like this app. i cant wait for the quarter hour chimes to come out!!.Version: 0

App reviewLove this app! Use it daily for all sorts, made a large scale model of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben with working clocks. I have the chimes going off through the model in sync with the clocks! Somethings that would be so awesome would be if perhaps you had a few more sky variations or edits, eg. At 6pm the background faded to a dusk one and maybe around 9pm it faded to the night background. Now the spotlights on the tower go off at midnight, would be amazing if you had them off at midnight as well! I'm overthinking as I know it's just a fun app but that would be very cool!.Version: 2.1

Good but not greatLove it worth paying for it but the tick tock option is creepy... And there should be silencer for night or volume controls but still a great app.Version: 2.0

This is AwesomeBig Ben is my favorite attraction in the whole world. I was saddened when I could not hear him when I came to London back in 2017. I used Big Ben as a church theme, and have the chimes as a ringtone. Thank you for this. I know I sound stupid, but this app is probably one of the best reasons I have an iPhone. He’s like an old friend...long story 😭😭😭 I hope this app continues onward!.Version: 2.1

Very very goodIt’s a very good app and it lets you see the famous big band and you can hear it stick duck sound tick-tock’s.Version: 2.1.3

Buying itWhy not want a clock bonging in the bkground? Why not buy this rubbish app? This is the best app in iPhone history!!!!!!!! I stare at it everyday..Version: 0

CuteCute app, and congrats to our UK friends for this big anniversary!.Version: 0

Great appGreat app! Love the update fixed the previous issues. Use it very regularly and having the quarterly chimes is very cool, let’s me know the time round the office and at home! Now that the dial and surroundings has been put back to its original colour it’ll be cool to see the original colours! I can help edit the existing colours if you like?.Version: 2.1.3

Great Big Ben App!Will come in handy when Big Ben goes silent for repairs!.Version: 2.1

Great appWorks very well but don't like that it goes off when I'm talking on the phone lol.Version: 2.0

London spirit!I don't know why these people are saying it doesn't bong - it certainly does! On the hour, this virtual clock chimes and bongs reliably, just like its physical counterpart. Brings the spirit of London to your iPhone!.Version: 0

SchedulingAll this needs now is daily schedule for on/off timing then you won't have to going into settings each night.Version: 2.0

GreatCould you do a day/night thing so you can distingush between d/n Thanks.Version: 0

Works and sounds are charmingCheree Heppe here: True, I am blind and can't see the clock presentation. But ... the chimes more than make up for it. I like the clock chiming even when the app isn't open. This is a big step forward in I-clockery. Thanks, you guys..Version: 2.0

Mine chimesMine chimes even while asleep. If yours doesn't then you this is a restriction of a factory standard virgin iPhone not the app..Version: 0

DDMI love the BigBen app. I've had it for several years and would truly be lost without it. Thanks for this app.Version: 2.1

AmazingIt just so cool I don't even need to go to London I just stay at home relaxed listening to the big Ben it's amazing because it starts chiming before it has stuck the hour which happens for real life it also clear to see the time it could improve having no sleep always on.Version: 2.0

LoLIt has to be the best game in the world!.Version: 0

Cute, and does what it says!Don't know why all the low ratings. The description is very accurate and the app does exactly as advertised. I'm really glad an updated version was released - thank you developers! It's one of my favourite simple apps. Simple can be fun, cute, and well done too :).Version: 2.1

Not bad, has potential!!This is a good idea but think could do with a few more features!! Maybe a nice background with birds and planes that fly accross then at night the background could go dark! On new years eve there could be fireworks! Maybe you could place big ben in differnt city backdrops?? Just a few ideas for improvment!! :-).Version: 0

Night time!This app is a good bit of fun. How about making the sky dark with a floodlit Big Ben for the hours of darkness as an update?.Version: 0

AMAZING APPWorking chimes, live clock.Version: 2.1

Possible??Great app, I love hearing Big Ben. My question is this: would it be possible to set a volume for the chiming? I always have my phone vol way up and consequently so is BB!! I would love to hear it a touch more 'in the background'. Thanks so much!!.Version: 2.0

The best Big Ben app by farDon't waste your time with other Big Ben apps. This is the one and only, the original, the best one of the lot. Now that the original one is going to go silent for four years this app is an absolute must have. Well done to its developers for sticking to the real thing!.Version: 2.1

My personal Big BenI like it! It plays even the quarters. Improved a lot since the last version..Version: 2.0

Could please make this app supportCould you please make app work on iOS 12 My iPad which I have only supports iOS 12 And I have paid for this app.Version: 2.1.3

I like it!I don't do ticking; but, I do like have Big Ben around!.Version: 0

The best!Great sounding chimes - tried a few similar apps - this has the best sound. Highly recommended..Version: 2.0

The only iPhone app allowed on my iPadThis app is so good it is the only iPhone app I allow on my new iPad. An iPad app would be great (universal app so I don't have to pay again) but this is exactly what I wanted. It is a true replica of Big Ben and chimes exactly the same with pure quality sound. Love it..Version: 2.0

Best app in the App StoreThis app is very good I love it and it’s cool.Version: 2.1.2

Listen to formula53's reviewPointless yet stlyish(I think anyway) as I said on the title listen to formula53's review(the producers of course).Version: 0

Big BenMinute hands not moving gradually, can you make it light up to reflect current daylight and sunset times depending on location gps settings..Version: 2.1.3

This is the best big ben everThis is cool it tick to tock and chimes thank you very much.Version: 2.0

Spiffing!I love it, only thing to make it perfect would be to make the minute hand move slowly and smoothly to make it even more realistic..Version: 2.0

Fabulous!But, yes, the ability to select a quiet period – between the hours of X and Y – would be helpful. Personally, I don't want to listen to bongs all night and I know there will be times when I'll forget to switch the app off!.Version: 2.0

Great appThis is the best Big Ben app, it's the real thing unlike other apps. I especially love it at new year because now I can hear Big Ben in realtime. Thanks for making the app accessible with VoiceOver as well..Version: 2.1.3

Won't Turn Off!Update. Sorry, I have figured it out. The chimes may be switched off by a switch from within the app. I did not realize that an app's internal switch could remain active even though an app is not running and is removed from the multitasking window. I have increased my rating as promised. Since this is possible, I now wonder why the alarm-apps I have tried say their app must appear in the multitasking window to remain functional? ................ This is a nice app and works as advertised except that I am unable to turn the chimes off even though I have turned off the app in the multitasking window. I am using a 3rd Gen iPod Touch with the very latest IOS. I will give this more stars when the developer tells me how to switch off the chime without having to delete the app from the device. PS. I've tried resetting the device, but it still keeps on chiming when I need it to be off..Version: 2.0

CoolThis is pretty cool!.Version: 0

Astonishingly goodAmazing! Could do with on the quarter hour sounds and a better photo though.Version: 0

Ground breakingThis app has changed my life..Version: 0

Very nice, but one thing could be changedI love this app, it works like the real thing, although the chimes could be changed, since the recording that’s being used are the chimes from a while back, I wish that the present day chimes, which after the revavation now have a softer sweeter sound: PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONCEDERATION.Version: 2.1.3

Time ChimesFun. But could you add chime times ie hour/ half hour ext.Version: 2.1.2

Great app!I love this app! i rate it 4/5,because it just needs the renovated big ben,blue clock face,quieter chimes and a 5 second delay between the quarter chimes and the hour chimes..Version: 2.1.3

AmazingBest app ever, period. Why people complain about it I don't know it's free and it's big ben what did you think it was going to.Version: 0

Very nice appI honestly love the background chimes of big Ben. It keeps me on time. Would it be possible to make the ticking in the background as well?.Version: 2.1.3

Very niceAn app that just has an image of Big Ben and makes clock sounds?!? You bet! This app does exactly what it said it would do. It's a great rendition of Big Ben sights and sounds, which is awesome for those of us who love London. It brings back really nice memories. As an improvement, I'd love to have optional pictures of London around Big Ben in both afternoon and evening that could be shown with the sound of the clock in the background. (PS - I get clock sounds even when the app is off, so not sure what the other reviewer was experiencing. Maybe due to different versions of iOS. ).Version: 2.0

Suggestion about the lock screenAmazing app, I love London, I go there every summer. Nice reminder app :) You know the apps where you can customize your lock screen? How cool would that be if the BigBen clock was on the lock screen. I mean not just the picture, but the animation. If will show BigBen on the lock screen everyone who loves London would get that app. So is it technically possible?.Version: 2.0

Add weatherAdd the weather too so if it's raining at Westminster u see rainfall if it snows u see snow fall etc etc be well cool.Version: 2.0

DrBlueIt's a lovely Big Ben Clock of London. Now my family is enjoying with this app. Thanks. DrBlue.Version: 0

Excellent!I really like it! You can run the quarter hour chimes in the background while running the Wall Clock app from Japan in the foreground for a very realistic effect. The Wall Clock app has fantastic graphics while the BigBen app has great sound effects... put them together and voilà... perfection!.Version: 2.0

TimerIt would be brilliant if we could set the clock on and off by being able to select a time on and a time off, rather than using the notification to switch it on or off. Evan.Version: 2.1

One of the best!This app is the best Big Ben app I have seen. At a cheap price, one of London's most famous landmarks comes to life on your Apple device. Simply watch the clock as the hands move and show the time set to your Apple device. The only improvements for this app are that the minute hand should move smoothly, (every 2 seconds the hand should move a tiny bit) and when the chimes go and the app is not running, when you turn the volume up or down the chimes go off. PLEASE UPDATE THIS.Version: 2.0

Great app!Love the app. It really helps me keep up with the time, especially when I'm busy and can't keep an eye on the time. Really wish there was a way to schedule it to turn itself off at night, that would make it perfect. Great job! Thanks..Version: 2.1

Best Big Ben appVery nice app with good quality sound. The quarters and hourly chimes are superb..Version: 2.0

AwesomeBut I will rate five stars if you have where display the weather in back or something to go with where I live and if you can adjust the volume. The weather would be cool but if that's not a possibility I will take the volume.Version: 2.0

LOVE the sounds, but...The chimes are beautiful, but can you please consider making the quarter chimes optional? Sometimes I really just want chimes on the hour.Version: 2.1
