User reviews

EDITED

The new 2.5 update brought back the confident female classic voice. Now I can hear the hourly announcement loud and clear! Thanks!!! This app is once again a 5 star app!!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
The new voice is soft spoken and can’t hardly be heard. The previous voice was loud, clear and confident, I could hear it even when my phone was in a different room. The new voice is soft spoken, lacks volume and confidence. I can’t hear the anymore even if the phone is in my back pocket.

Response from developer

Version 2.5 is already a classic female voice.

Sound echo and new voice?

I do not like the new voices or the way it makes a tone before announcing the time. I prefer the old method of just announcing the time.

Also, there is some kind of weird echo on the tone that literally hurts my ears when it goes off. I cannot find a way to modify this. Please help. I really would like to keep this app on my phone.
Thank you!

Horrible update

The new voice is soft spoken and can’t hardly be heard. The previous voice was loud, clear and confident, I could hear it even when my phone was in a different room. The new voice is soft spoken, lacks volume and confidence. I can’t hear the anymore even if the phone is in my back pocket.

need option to use only phone speaker

i wish to pay, kindly implement, announcement via speaker, if bluetooth is connected. i use neckband, to be plugged only to receive calls

Response from developer

We're very sorry, but this is in accordance with the rules of iOS system operation, and there is currently no way to change it.

Ok

It has a chime as expected but it’s followed by the time spoken aloud, which can’t be turned off and can be very disruptive

Response from developer

Each time period can be independent without playing a notification tone.
