Chime Me Big Ben Free Version

Turns your device into a chiming Big Ben.

Are you an expat stuck in a country who misses the unique sound of Big Ben? Have you ever been in London within the vicinity of Big Ben and heard that unmistakable chiming? Chime Me Big Ben Free brings those unforgettable sounds to your Android device. One of my customers told be he drives people crazy on the train. People turn turn their heads in confusion looking where the chiming is coming from. In the mean time he is just simply trying not to laugh too loud. :-)

Other customers tell me this app helps them keep track of the time.

By the way, you won’t find any nag screens or adverts in any of my apps. Why? I just think they are just plain annoying. If you like this app, please consider purchasing the full version (I’m still working on that version). I will have the same features as this free version plus more features such as flexible scheduling when the chimes will be heard. I’m also thinking about adding the ability to also announce the time if you want to hear that as well. If you contact me, I will let you know when the full version is online.

This app also contains a widget that allows you to mute and unmute the chiming with a single tap.

Here’s how to use and set up the app. If you need help please contact me:

After installing the app, choose to run the app and exit from the app. You can now set up the widget.

Using the widget:

The direction of the Big Ben icon indicates wether or not the chiming is active. Up means it’s active and upside down means it’s muted.

Using the app:

You will also see a Big Ben icon on the main screen of the app. The direction of the icon indicates the same as the widget.

Taping “Exit” will get you out of the app but the app will keep chiming if you have the Big Ben pointing upward.

Taping “Settings” will take you to the settings screen. On that screen you will see some light bulb icons. By default this app will not vibrate your device but you can turn it on by tapping the “Notification Vibrations” light bulb until it’s lit up. The other lights bulb icons work the same way. The other light bulbs are for the quarters when you can hear the chimes. By default all quarters are set to chime. You can tap the bulbs to mute the chiming of a particular quarter.

Also on the setting screen you will see 2 volume sliders. One slider controls the volumes of the initial chimes like the chimes you hear on the quarters. The other one controls the bonging hourly chimes volume. You can also hear how load the chiming is by tapping the old fashioned phonograph icon next to a particular slider.

Tapping “Main Menu” will take you back to the main screen.

That’s it.

I hope you like this app.
