Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Let the chimes of Big Ben help keep you on time. Never lose track of time again while shopping, working, reading or studying. Every 15 minutes this app can play Big Ben's Westminster Chimes, providing a subtle reminder of the current time -- hopefully keeping you from getting so involved in a project that you completely lose track of the time. Or you may choose to install the Bonger just for fun -- become a mobile time-keeping machine. (I use it to keep moving and stay on time in the morning: 6:45 - Shower and get dressed 7:15 - Breakfast 7:30 - Feed the Cat 7:45 - Leave for work 8:00 - If I'm past the Harrisburg exit, I know I'm gonna be on time) Setup is easy and the options are few: * You can choose Big Ben or any of 3 other clock chimes. * You can select any combination of quarter-hour chimes, from every 15 minutes to just once an hour. * Two screen modes: either Normal or Darker mode. * On days when you're feeling less bold, you can change from using Big Ben's chimes to those of an antique mantle clock or a noble Grandfather clock. See our website 'www.BigBenBonger.com' for a demo video and more detailed information. Big Ben Bonger will not get in your way. Simply minimize the app and Big Ben will bong for you all day while you use your phone or tablet normally. Just a basic app -- simple to use -- does exactly what it says it will -- no ads or unnecessary notifications. Works whether your phone has signal or not; even works in Airplane Mode. It has support for lots of languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese. Do you think it could be of use to you? The familiar sound of Big Ben would be a great addition to your Android device.
