## What is SpeakMinder?

This is a hands free reminder app.  You set it for either a location or at a time and it will speak a phrase you enter without having to touch the device.

How many times has your phone played a sound, just so you can pick up the phone to find out why it was making the noise?  This app speaks exactly what you want to say, exactly when or where you want to say it.

You can also use it for a location.  You can set it to say "Go in and talk to the teacher" when you pull into the school's parking lot, or "Pay the light bill" when you pull into your driveway.

The icon will have a number, telling you how many reminders you have set.

### 5/5 — Works Like a Charm!

*2026-01-14*

Works Like a Charm!

### 5/5 — ADHD OR BUST BABY!!!

*2024-03-18*

This minder is soooo stinkin’ easy to use! And it’s free. And it speaks ‘you have a reminder’ to remind me that I am being reminded of something I wanted to remember… Yeah you get the idea. I think I love this. Now if I could only get it to say something fun like ‘hey… remember that thing you wanted to remember? This is it- don’t forget to: ( insert reminder here) But I’m remembering to use it so that’s a plus.

### 5/5 — Love the Update

*2023-06-19*

Happy with the new way it works, I’m not sure years old reviews are relevant.

### 1/5 — Falsified description

*2019-03-21*

DO NOT PURCHASE!

The app REQUIRES that you disclose location, even for notifications that do not involve location. There’s a pop-up screen that says that the app WILL NOT WORK unless you enable location access.

Apple is being scummy and failing to issue a refund when informed that the app developer lies on their description.

Under app description, it says “This app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which may decrease battery life.”    That is untrue. The app REQUIRES you to agree to your location being available ALWAYS for the app to work regardless of how you configure your reminders. Even if you do not wish to be reminded based on location, it REQUIRES access to your location for reminders based on time.

Slimy. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Complete CRAP

*2019-02-07*

Complete crap! 

DOESN’T WORK if the phone is dark/off (but power on)

Doesn’t Work if the program is not active.  

No repeater function.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

### 1/5 — Crap!!

*2015-05-26*

Rubbish little app. Firstly why does it require your location? What's my location got to do with a reminder app. Surely that should be optional

Secondly the user interface is garbage. I couldn't work out how to just get the thing going

Which leads to third issue. Crap instructions. Why don't these apps just have a basic "how to use" video guide, rather than wooden unclear instructions. 

All I needed was an audible timer, instead I've got a unclear, location needing, crap user interface app that really should be free, let alone £1.49 or whatever it was. 

Avoid this rubbish. Until they sort it out. 

Delete.

### 3/5 — Needs repeat function

*2015-04-16*

I use it to help me drink water. Need to repeat every hour. Please add this function.

### 1/5 — Total garbage!

*2014-08-07*

I wasted $1.99 on this worthless app today. It does not speak. I tried every setting. If your phone is on, it will make a sound. NO SPOKEN MESSAGE AT ALL! IT DOES NOT SPEAK WHAT I SET IT TO. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH.

WHEN YOU GO TO SO-CALLED 'APP SUPPORT,' IT JUST TAKES YOU TO A WEBPAGE THAT ADVERTISES THIS WORTHLESS APP. ON THAT PAGE. THERE, IT CLAIMS THE COST FOR THIS APP IS $.99, BUT IT IS REALLY $1.99. THERE IS NO SUPPORT AT ALL. DO NOT WASTE ONE PENNY ON THIS. I FEEL LIKE A REAL FOOL FOR BUYING THIS GARBAGE.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-05-17*

Very cool app for very forgetful me!  Just what I needed. Love it!
