You will think you are in London when you hear the chimes fromthis app. If you have ever been in London or you are an ex-pat youwill love this app.

I also have a cat version of this app where cats sing theWestminster chimes. It contains voices from real cats! You can getit here:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chime.me.big.ben.meow.free

This app contains real sound recordings of Big Ben in it'sentire grandeur. Close your eyes when it chimes and see foryourself!

This app is also a complete rewrite of an older version that didnot work with Android KitKat. It works on our development phonewhich happens to be an Umi Zero running Android KitKat.

*** New feature:
Chimes will be silent if you are listening to audio prior to whenthe chimes are ready to play.

Here are some of the other features.

* App will not chime when you are on a phone call.
* Separate volume controls for the initial chimes and also for thehourly chimes.
* Listen only to the chimes you want. For example: 15 minutes and30 minutes after the hour. Maybe you just want the hourly chimes.It's easy to set up in this flexible app.
* Very flexible silent periods when you don't want to hear anychiming. You can even exclude a particular day of the week from aparticular silent period. For example you can have a silent periodactive while you are at work on the weekdays and have the chimessound out on weekends.
* A widget is planned for a future update release of the app.
* A better time picker for the silent periods is also planned for afuture update release of the app.

Welcome to London!

A few customers have commented that they could not load thesettings so I'm including instructions on how to set the app for aparticular scenario.

I removed the adverts from this app except when a user taps on afeature found on the full version of the app.

Scenario: I want to have my phone chime only during a certaintime of the day and have this silent period effective only onMonday through Friday. Good for people working at an office.

From the home screen, tap Silent Periods.
From the Silent Periods, tap the light bulb on row number 1. Thestarting and ending periods will be enabled.
Tap the starting 00:00 on row 1 and a time picker will bedisplayed.
Drag the blue dot around the clock face until the time is before08:00. A time like 07:55 would be good since the silent period willstart at 08:00 because the silent periods are checked every 15minutes.
Lift your finger off the screen then place it back on the screenfor a few seconds and the time you entered will be displayed forthe starting silent period time.
Do the same for the ending time 00:00 and enter select 17:05 forthe silent period ending time. Chimes will resume from 5:15pmonwards.
Tap the calendar icon to display the Period Schedule screen.
Tap the light bulbs for Saturday and Sunday. This will excludethose days from the silent periods.
You can now return to your home screen and everything is set.

If you like this app and love cats, you may also like our catversion of this app. You can run both apps at the same time. If youdo just set up the silent periods correctly and your all set. Youcan get the cat version from:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chime.me.big.ben.meow.free
