About this app

New feature:
- Ability to choose quiet bell or loud bell sound.

For centuries, Ship's Bells have been used aboard navy, merchant, and other vessels. Non-sailors have discovered this as a practical way to keep time without having to look at a clock or wristwatch.

The founder and President of Skyclock company is a United States Marine Corps veteran who served aboard the USS Lexington.

Be sure to check out our other app "Skyclock", the ultimate sun & twilight calculator.

Marine Bells app is a tribute to sailors on watch everywhere.

Bells ring properly. Nice. Glad to have your app. And 1) as others have said, the notifications are often wrong. 2) eight bells should end a watch. So, for example, eight bells at noon, is eight bells in the Forenoon Watch (and not eight bell in the Afternoon Watch) . 3) add an option to select the post Nore Mutiny sequence for the "Last Dog Watch."

Bells stopped. Used to love this app as there are few options in Play Store. This app kept me alerted as to time of day in case of becoming too focused on one task, as we all do. I would be pleasantly reminded to "keep moving" each half-hour. Coming from a marine background, I could easily decipher the ring code.

This would be a much better app if there were a couple of tweaks/fixes. First it would be nice if the Dog Watch were broken into two...First and Last Dog Watch. Semantics, really. But it would be neat that way. Second, the 1st bell of each watch always shows the wrong Watch name. My 1st bell of the Forenoon Watch was called 1st Bell on the Morning Watch and this seems to happen with each 1st bell. I also had trouble getting the bells to actually ring. Not sure if it was my ring volume or app volume or what. But somehow, I got them to ring.
