About Hourly chime PRO deprecated
So some device manufacturers add their own battery optimizations that totally ignore Android system battery settings.
On some devices even if user turned off all device manufacturer battery optimizations (which he isnt even aware of so he blames developer for not working app) this app worked with delay or didnt work at all.Some time ago we discovered that some device manufacturers use not too smart battery optimization solution - it turned out that if we add magical keyword "alarmclock" to so called application package name then app always works properly - sometimes even without turning off any battery optimizations for it.Unfortunately that results in releasing new app as each application has its own unique package name.
We have decided to take that step as we get bad ratings while this is not really our fault.
You can find "new" app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caynax.hourlychime.alarmclock.proUser simply wants to download app and use it and he cant because device manufacturer stops app process after some time to save battery.
Most users arent aware of (additional) battery settings.
On some devices they are available in different places so turning them off requires user engagement and its faster to simply remove "not working app".
Even after making all battery changes when it comes to some device manufacturers our app still didnt work.
Until making that "alarmclock" change.Google allows us to generate 500 promotional codes each 3 months so that we can slowly start migrating users who have problems on their devices to this "new/v2" app version which is to be honest exactly the same app as "old" app version and differs only in package name.
Until most users migrate to this "new" app version "old" app will still be available to download but it will have higher price set so that current users could still download and update it while new users could start with "new" version.If you previously purchased this app then please contact us to get promotional code and migrate to v2 version for free.We are very sorry for any inconvenience.We wish Google would finally do something about that problem as it affects other developers.10.1.2Updated migration notice as some users got it wrong.Dont buy V2 app version - you already paid for this app.Mail us with mail address that you used to purchase V1 version to get promotional code and migrate to V2 version for free.10.1.1Added option to repeat sound chime (PRO version).Smaller application size.

Best chime app but the tts is needed to be updated and bugs
The best ever hourly alarm app in play store am using since last 2-3 years. Now got it's pro in offer price...RS.10 thanks
This is a well thought out app that has all the options you could wish for.
This is a great little app for what it does. Have you ever wanted an hourly sound/chime sound? This app does it! Plus, you can have your phone announce the hour, etc. You can also set up chimes on the half hour, every 15 minutes, etc. And this app has very customizable settings to get everything working just the way you want. You can even have the announcements say whatever you want! Great on the Google Pixel that I have!
Programmer changed all TTS settings. Stuck again, PAID VERSION
Been using this app for a couple years for personality trait reminders and for eating reminders for fitness purposes. The Best.
