RE: Big Ben
No, No No. Westminster chimes is a different app than Big Ben. Westminster Chimes is an electronic imitation of the Big Ben chimes. The Big Ben app, and it is just called Big Ben, is a professional recording of Big Ben itself. I just heard back from the developer to confirm he did a professional recording and the YouTube sample is not of his app, but thanks to Cawal's comment about a YouTube sample, the creator of the app is going to put up his own sample. Here is the link to the true Big Ben app: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bigben/id301046876?mt=8 It is by Ettore Software.

Hello Richard. Some one posted a link on this list which I can't find now and at the time of last night, I went to it via the Mac and there it was not knowing it was something else. I've bought it now so I will have a professional one to laugh at! Thanks again. Kawal.

Re: Big Ben
Hi, Ok since I see that it is actually a professional recording I have decided to try it. I have been wanting an actual clock with chimes for a while now. A couple of questions about the app though. I assume that you have to have it launched in order for it to chime? I also am wondering if it works while backgrounded. I ask because after I installed and launch I was expecting it to chime on the hour while it was backgrounded and it didn't. Am waiting to see what happens on the half hour. I will admit that after not chiming the hour I turned on the 15 minute chime and it went off at the quarter hour as expected.

RE: Big Ben
Ron, I just discovered another way to stop the chime from interfering with other apps. Tap the volume button, up or down. Just one quick tap and the chime cuts out. Easier and quicker than the mute switch. I just tried that while listening to the BBC and the half hour chime began and the stream from the BBC went away, I tapped the volume button and the chime stopped immediately.

RE: Big Ben
Keith, It only chimes if you have it set to the quarter hours. The developer has heard the requests to have the ability to just have it chime on the hour and plans to add that feature, but he said that may take a few weeks. It will certainly chime in the background and while the device is locked if you have the sounds set to on in the Notification center. It does not have to be in the foreground to work. If you set the do not disturb to a schedule to not interrupt at night, it will stop chiming according to that schedule. For $0.99, I think it is a fine app, and the developer has been very responsive to questions and suggestions.

Ron, I just did a test when writing in Fleksy when Big Ben began chiming at 8:45. I had no trouble continuing to write in Fleksy while the chime was going on. I could hear VoiceOver just fine.

RE: Big Ben
Hi, I wrote to the developer and he says that will be fixed soon. In order for it to work right now, it needs to have the quarter hour turned on or it won’t work at all. I asked him to have a selection for the hour only, the hour and half hour and keep the one for the quarter hour so we have a choice. Personally, I like the hour and half hour but I find the quarter hour a bit much.

RE: Big Ben
Hi, Hope. Hope you enjoy big ben as much as I do. When you first go into the Big Ben app the screen seems blank. There's only one button which is unlabeled. When you find it, double tap and that will let you into the rest of the app where you can set chime frequency and other things. You still need to make sure your sounds are on in settings, notification, big ben. When I don't want to hear the chimes which I now have set to ring at the quarter hour, I just hit the mute switch. You can also turn the sound off in settings, notifications, big ben. HTH. God bless!

RE: Big Ben Problem
The volume is determined by the sound volume setting on your phone. Perhaps his sound files are louder to start with than others, but I find that if I set the sound volume under settings to 45 percent, it is a nice level for everything for me and I can still hear VoiceOver when the chimes are going off. Now, for some who might be hard of hearing, that might not work.

RE: Big Ben in notification? where?
Hi, Try turning the rotor to headings once you are in the notification screen. Then, flick down to the heading that says "not in notifications." Then, flick left to go back to the bottom of the list of apps in notifications or right to get to the ones that are not currently in notifications. It should be there somewhere. Glad you got the real one.

RE: Big Ben link and developer
Hi Richard, Thanks, finally found it using the link but it wasn’t showing that one in the Canadian app store even when I went through all 15 options Ron From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2012 1:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Big Ben link and developer Ron and others, The direct link in the U.S. store is: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bigben/id301046876?mt=8 The developer's name is: Ettore Software Ltd. The app is simply called "Big Ben" not Big Ben Pro or anything else. Description from the app store: 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 and toll on the hour 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.

Westminster Chimes is an electronic imitation of the Big Ben chimes. The Big Ben app, and it is just called Big Ben, is a professional recording of Big Ben itself. I just heard back from the developer to confirm he did a professional recording and the YouTube sample is not of his app, but thanks to Cawal's comment about a YouTube sample, the creator of the app is going to put up his own sample. Here is the link to the true Big Ben app: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bigben/id301046876?mt=8 It is by Ettore Software.

Back in the 1980s, an idealistic young developer with too much time on his hands created a revolutionary program for the fledgling Apple Macintosh platform. It simulated a famous Westminster clock tower in 256 glorious shades of grey. Those being simpler days, the Mac community gasped in awe at this ticking, tocking, bonging marvel and it was greeted with a level of enthusiasm not seen since the invention of penicillin. The developer's name was Riccardo Ettore and the software was snappily titled Big Ben . Today, we're pleased to offer you a revamped, rather more colourful incarnation - updated for the 21st century and ported to a magical device that's considerably easier to carry around than a Macintosh SE 30. Big Ben for iOS puts one of London's most cherished timekeeping landmarks right in your pocket, replete with authentic Westminster chimes that ring out on the hour, on the half hour and on the quarter hour. That's not all: if you enjoy tweaking things to your liking, you'll be pleased to learn we included some additional options. You can switch on a digital display and / or a hand that ticks away the seconds - features that they neglected to include when they built the real McCoy that's towered over the houses of parliament for the past 150 years. G'wan, treat yourself - you know you want to, really. It's a daft bit of fun and it'll only se
Re: Big Ben link and developer
Hello Richard. I downloaded Big Ben from the link you pasted in another mail. Since putting it on my phone, the App has not worked yet. I opened it, turned Tick Tock off but did not switch the quarterly chimes on. So as yet, even though a couple of hours has passed, not a peep from Big Ben. So how is it supposed to work? Also, when Do not Disturb comes on at night, will it stop? How do you put a schedule on it as I see nothing like that. Thank you very much Richard. Kawal.
