Pros and cons of Hourly Chime in Background app for iPhone and iPad

Hourly Chime in Background app good for

I searched a long time for an app like that! Thats what i need
This is an excellent addition to the functionality of my iPhone. A discrete chime alerts me to the passing of another hour and acts as a reminder to stop day-dreaming and get back to work! It can also act as a handy incoming call excuse to get out of a boring conversation with someone!
great app.. useful for knowing the time without having to pull your phone out of your pocket. built-in sounds arent all that great.. would be better if you could pick an iOS5 ringtone.
Nice selection of notifications, pretty simple & straight forward. Nice job.
I use this app to keep me aware of time This app is simple and offers different settings that can easily be changed

Some bad moments

This has got to be one of the best hourly chime apps Ive ever seen! Works absolutely flawlessly with Voiceover! Wait ago to the developers! You all ock!
I love the setup for this app, but I would defiantly like to see more options, especially for a $2.00 price tag! Good work though, love the idea! Ideas for improvement; chime every 15-30 min option, more sounds (like those found in the alarm section under clock). Other than a few simple improvements, its a great app idea for those of us who watch the time closely, and easily lose track of time. Thanks alot!
This app works perfectly. Its an amazingly simple time management tool. I agree; wed like more functionality and sound options, more subtle dongs or access to the phones ringtones. Reminds me of the "chime" app on my old palm treo. It provided 15/30 min alerts, very subtle dings as compared to the hourly dong.
Preforms exactly as advertised. Wish it had more options for $2.00 - an option to vibrate every hour would be great.
This app is called "Hourly Chimes," but doesnt include a "chime" option--only a cuckoo clock or a gong, neither of which is appropriate in a professional setting. Too bad it doesnt include options to have the chime ring, say, 2, 5, or 10 minutes before the hour. These seem like easy upgrades, and would greatly increase the utility of the app.
Please remove the red circle with the 1 on the icon, as that isnt how its supposed to be used, there is no need for it, and its annoying. A quieter chime and vibration would be nice.
