### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2025-02-22*

Clock doesn’t work if iPhone is in sleep mode. If you pay for voices you only get the default ones working. Doesn’t sink with Apple Watch. Contact us doesn’t work or is not monitored anymore. Save time and money by moving on.

### 5/5 — This app is nice

*2024-02-07*

You can do different voices and different settings and even different languages to this clock as well as different news channels

### 3/5 — Need to improve the voice

*2023-06-15*

It’s very hard to understand

### 2/5 — It kinda works

*2020-09-27, version 4.4*

It doesn’t work if you lock your phone. It also doesn’t play the voices which I paid for. Not impressed.

### 1/5 — It talks way too fast

*2020-05-17, version 4.4*

It talks way too fast and horrible voice me want me money back

### 1/5 — Good idea horrible execution

*2019-09-28*

Would be great if my app didn’t close every time I try to select a new option.

### 2/5 — Very disappointed

*2019-07-16*

I paid for the app so I can get all the features that was showing, and I wasted money.  I didn’t get any extra features. None of the other voices will play and the other features reply “we are still working on this”. What a rip-off 🙄

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2018-10-26, version 4.4*

The company that created the App needs to take care of it.

### 4/5 — Like it. But

*2018-10-24, version 4.4*

My weather is off and my alarm says it’s going off but I can’t hear it :S but there’s a notification.

### 5/5 — TALKING ALARM ❤️👍🏻

*2018-10-15, version 4.4*

THIS ALARM IS GREAT IT TELLS YOU THE TIME THE DATE THE NEWS THE TEMPERATURE FOR THE DAY AND WHAT IT COULD TURN OUT TO BE AND MANY OTHER THINGS AS WELL
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ALARM TO EVERYONE
