I can recommend this app for easily frustrated guys. Set up and use in very few minutes; less than five for me. You can have an hour and half-hour cuckoo alarm (chime) for each segment that you toggle “ON”. I like cuckoo from 10am to 12am. Would have used this app YEARS ago if it weren’t buried deep in the App Store’s “back room”. After many times of digging in the store I finally found this. Really happy 😃 now. You and I can recommend and give 5 ⭐️s to help it proliferate to a better visibility. Thanks for being a kind developer! ### 1/5 — 鳴らなくなりました *2022-04-10* iOS 15にしたら指示された設定をしても鳴らなくなりました。 改善お願いします。 ### 5/5 — Ver good.! *2021-03-15* Simple and very good ### 1/5 — 鳴りません *2021-02-23* iOS14.4です。最初から鳴りません ### 1/5 — No longer works in iPad OS 14 *2020-11-08* Title says it all.😢 ### 5/5 — Accessible and usable *2020-05-23* This app is absolutely accessible and usable. Simple and easy. Please continue to update the app with compatibility with future iOS versions. ### 5/5 — Great accessible cuckoo clock app *2019-10-02* I’ve been looking for an accessible cuckoo clock app for a while and finally found one. The only thing I wish is that you take my suggestions to consideration. A button to change between 12 and 24 hour format. A volume control in the app. I also ask that you add A picer or a combo box for selecting Time in which the clock will chime or not. This would make it easier and less time consuming to choose the times for the clock to chime. It would be less confusing as well. A simple menu to choose how many times the clock will chime would be helpful as well and more organized and less confusing. It would also be nice to have a couple of sound options. Having cuckoo sound followed bye voice over announce The time or having the nostalgia inducing sound of an antique cuckoo clock with the Westminster chime, and the sound of the gears as they wind up before chiming The hour with the ding followed by the cuckoo sound and after The chime has stopped add The sound of the pendulum as it swings. Could also add a stile option for the chime. Real cuckoo bird, antique cuckoo clock, and grandfather or grandmother cuckoo clock as well as other stiles. You could also make money if you added The sound and stile options but charge a dollar or 2 in order to have that option. You could call it cuckoo V O Unlocked. Anyway I love this app and thank you for making an accessible version of the cuckoo clock app but really hope you add these suggestions because the app would be a lot more user friendly less confusing and quicker to set up. Another suggestion is changing the name of the button at the bottom from alarm to chime or announcement because alarm can be confusing as people may expect to be able to be awakened. ### 3/5 — 時報の数が設定できません。 *2016-10-19* どんなに設定しても、時報の数が時間数になります。12時だと12回もなります。2回に設定してもです。修正お願いします。 ### 4/5 — 使える！ *2013-07-24* 操作もシンプルで、使い易いです。邪魔な広告もないし、画面もスッキリ。 贅沢を言えば、通知音の鳴き声が１種類だけなので、数種類あるとさらに嬉しいですね〜。 ## Frequently asked questions about Cuckoo VO ### How does Cuckoo VO announce the time?
