Description

During 2009, the UK Parliament celebrated the 150th anniversary of its world famous Clock Tower, Great Clock and Great Bell.

The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell. 1859 was the beginning for all three elements when the Clock Tower was completed, the Great Clock started on 31 May and the Great Bell’s chimes were heard for the first time on 11 July.

Have your iPhone (or iPod Touch) display the time of day in style.

Options include:

adding a digital clock display
showing a seconds hand
having it make a tick-tock sound
having it chime every quarter of an hour and toll on the hour (the chiming and tolling sounds will play even when the app is not open, so long as your device is not muted and you allow notifications in the General Settings for Big Ben)

Pointless? Maybe. Decorative? Certainly.

NB Sounds will only play through earphones on 1st gen iPod Touch.

Thanks to all who left comments and suggestions for improvement. In particular to Dave, whose persistence finally motivated us to release this new version.

Almost Perfect!

This app is almost perfect for me. I’m not allowed to wear a watch at work so I have to rely on wall clocks and my phone all the time. I hate having to keep up with clock batteries and I often keep working rather than check my phone so an audible app like this is exactly what I need.

The only change I’d like to see made is the option for night mode: set the app to stop tolling at 9pm and start again at 5am (or as desired).

That being said, I can adjust the notifications or turn on the Night Mode app, though that also silences incoming messages so not 100% ideal.

Developer Response ,

Hello and thanks for your very kind feedback and rating! We would like to add a night mode option, but would like to discuss your exact requirements. Could you send an email to: bigben.beta@ettoresoftware.com so we can get the ball rolling? Thanks, Riccardo

The only iPhone app allowed on my iPad

This app is so good it is the only iPhone app I allow on my new iPad. An iPad app would be great (universal app so I don't have to pay again) but this is exactly what I wanted.

It is a true replica of Big Ben and chimes exactly the same with pure quality sound. Love it.

Cute, and does what it says!

Don't know why all the low ratings. The description is very accurate and the app does exactly as advertised.

I'm really glad an updated version was released - thank you developers!

It's one of my favourite simple apps. Simple can be fun, cute, and well done too :)
