Reviews
Not good
WhyAreAllNicknamesTakenUGH
This app is a great idea, but poorly executed. I downloaded the app because my school transitioned to online learning and I needed something to keep me on track and aware. This is not the app to choose. You only get about 5 options for bell layouts and can not customize your own. My school had pretty odd times with a 5 minute transition in between each period. If you are in high school or your school doesn’t start at 9 or 8:30, this is not the app for you.
No weekday option.

You can set the time for the alarm but you have to manually deactivate it for the weekends.
Helps keep my 6th grader on track

I bought this for my son to help him keep track of his remote learning schedule. I like how you can add a custom schedule and choose different bell chimes. I’ve used it for the last few days and it works like a charm. My only recommendation would be to provide the ability to choose the days the bells activate. Right now, I have to remember to turn it off on weekends and then enable it again on Monday. This is not a huge inconvenience, but maybe something to add on the next iteration of the app.
Awesome app

This works great for remote learning. The only suggestion I would make is to have it be able to schedule for Monday - Friday only.
Awesome Way to Keep Track of your Kids Schedule for Home Schooling
MzKami
Now that we are social distancing in the US and many kids are having school at home, there is a need for a way to keep track of subjects on which kids should be working and when virtual students have live sessions with teachers. This makes it easy to multitask as a parent working from home while ensuring my child is also on task. What would make this even better is if there were an easy way to share schedules between parents. Add a feature to import and export the schedule.
Bells aren’t very loud

I noticed that for the alarm to be loud I have to press my volume button up, other than that the app is great.
No sound
ugh ;(
The bell rarely rings which was the whole appeal with trying to keep on schedule. But the other features do work well.
Chimes stopped working

Really helpful app when my son started virtual learning. Enjoyed up until the update yesterday when the chime stopped working, please fix it.

I loved this app for school and encouraged all my fellow teachers to use it also, but the new update (December 2020) messed everything up. Please fix it. I’ve selected certain bells (which worked perfectly all school year, but the new update keeps playing the wrong bells. The old version was much better and I will be deleting and looking for a new bell app if this one doesn’t get fixed.
