HourMate Kate

I have had the HourMate app for a number of years now and it helps me and anyone who’s in earshot, the hour count. There has been a couple of times where it has stopped announcing but a quick email to them straightens things out.

Crash

I loved this app when it was working. I guess something happened with the update. Now I can’t get it to open.

Amazing app that keeps me informed!

I love having my phone say the time each hour. Reminds me of the feature on the Mac that comes in so handy! Thank you!!!

Doesn't work

Doesn't work at all

Does not work all the time!

I like this app when it works. It will work a day then skip several days before it works again. If this problem was fixed I’d give it 5 stars.

STOP asking for location!

All this app has to do is chime on the hour. It’s really not that hard! However the damn app keeps asking for location data to be on permanently. This is completely unnecessary. It’s a breach of privacy & a battery drain. Plus if you turn it off the app stops working! Take your app & shove it up your A***

Part time

This app takes long days off. I don’t know why it does not work everyday? I guess I will get something else. Too bad I liked it when it worked.

Doesn’t work...

Junk

Hour Mate 😷✌️

I’ve downloaded this App about 4 years ago and I throught it was great so I paid for all the extra’s it’s a great app I’ve tryed others but I always seem to come back to this one!! This has to be a 5⭐️App in my opinion!! 😷✌️

Not worth it.

This app only works if it is on all the time. If you close it it doesn’t work in the background like other apps do. If the developers fix this then it’s pretty nice and worth more stars.

Keeps requesting location access.

It’s an hourly reminder, you don’t need it, stop pestering users.

Meh

The app seems to stop delivering notifications after a certain number and they only resume if you open the app

Location yes, chimes no

Keeps asking to enable location services (yeah, why?), but even if enabled, does not give a sound. Even though I paid for a lot of sounds.

Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!

And why does it want to know my location?
Disappointed with this app. Don't waste your money on it.

Poor production Keep Clear

Followed instructions to the letter. Don’t work !! Don’t waste your time installing. Have tried this on two different iPhones, this app it will not work. No customer support and their website no longer operational. Apple should remove this app from the App Store so people don’t get ripped of paying for something that will not work.

Total dud on new iphone

It worked on regular iPhone x got a iPhone X Max. Nothing does not work

Didn’t work

This app didn’t work according to the description. It doesn’t chime when you turn the app off. It kept asking for location access.

Not working

I actually wanted to pay for the pro version but not until I have tried the free app, I had wanted an app that will announce time hourly, but this app will simply NOT do that, even after granting all permissions; neither did the developer reply my mail, very poor business approach. I won't risk 4 bucks for any worthless app!.

Too restrictive

Cannot use beep for half hour quarter hour. Cannot turn voice announcement off.
