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.

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.
