User Reviews

Overall, users praise Hourly for its simplicity and reliable hourly reminders, including auto-off and optional spoken alerts. However, recurring complaints center on limited customization (few ringtones, no cuckoo sound, limited voice options), inconsistent Apple Watch support and cross-device synchronization, and occasional reliability glitches (duplicate beeps or alerts that don’t sound unless the phone is unlocked). Many users want better watch integration, more voices/tones, and smoother multi-device syncing.
Pros
  • Simple, bare-bones app that reminds you of the time without adding to your calendar.
  • Reliable hourly reminders with good background operation.
  • Auto-off after each reminder, so you don't have to manually dismiss it.
  • Supports both audible chimes and spoken time announcements, aiding time management.
  • Works on iPhone and remains stable across iOS updates.
Cons
  • Apple Watch integration is limited/inconsistent; watch features are not fully supported.
  • Limited sound and voice customization; few tones and no cuckoo option; voice options (gender/locale) are missing.
  • Reliability issues like duplicate alerts and some cases where the alert won’t beep; in some setups hour notifications require the phone to be unlocked.
  • Settings and preferences do not sync cleanly with the Apple Watch; you often have to configure separately on the watch.
