Comments on Ship's Bell for Android

★★★★★ Nick Okasinski · Oct 14, 2026

This app and a pair of bone conduction headphones are perfect for pushing back on distractions and running my day in an orderly way. The help text makes two suggestions for the app to work reliably: enabling notifications and changing battery usage to "unrestricted". Just do both, right after installing the app. This would have saved me a lot of hassle. I found only one issue: when the bells sound, the first chime is partial and scraggly. Otherwise, outstanding work.

★★★★☆ Paul D. Brannigan · Dec 5, 2025

Generally works very well. Still... why do I have to reset the app to start-up every day after it should resume after 6am. Normally bells are off 10pm-6am but doesn't automatically resume after 6am needs to be restarted.

★★☆☆☆ Lyon AI6F · Sep 10, 2025

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app at around 0740 it did not ring at 0800. I'm running a Samsung S20+ on android 13 and 1UI 5.1 For experimentation I also put the app on my Samsung Tab 6. With Android 12 and 1UI 4.1.1. It seems to work there. I'll monitor both devices throughout the day and report back with my findings.

★★☆☆☆ MGySgt K · Mar 14, 2026

I wanted it to work. But under setting, I can only see the top of set time Sunday services. I can't see the drop box. Only enough of the words to understand what they say about Sunday services. No box does not expand, not move. No setting for 24hr time. Frustration. I don't recommend this app, especially if you need to set known quiet time. You can only set taps to reveille. But be fair. Over the years there have been other ships bell apps. They didn't work either, and I had to delete.
