### 4/5 — Potential!

*2018-11-22, version 4.4*

App has lots of potential, the voices I bought sound a bit smothered, if they could replicate Siri that would be great. Not sure if it’s me or if it could be an added feature but I would rather be woken up immediately by the weather report rather than the alarm I have to reach out of bed to stop..

### 2/5 — Beaucoup trop cher

*2015-11-20, version 4.3.2*

N'acheter pas le package car rien de plus pour le moment.  Pas fini de developper

### 1/5 — Piece of S@/T so far

*2014-11-19, version 4.3.1*

I'll be back if it improves. Could the Siri voice talk faster? I think not. 
It is annoying, and I did wake up.     
You have the inReview option of $5.99 to receive more review.

### 1/5 — Es un buen concepto y gran idea pero

*2014-11-18, version 4.3.1*

Es un buen concepto y gran idea pero no funciona del todo bien, compre el paquete que te permite editar las alarmas al despertar y nl funciona, otra cosa que nada mas hay noticias de españa y el calendario no se entiende bien lo que dice la voz. Pero el concepto es bueno, cuando trabaje bien no dudo que este entre las apps mas descargadas.

### 1/5 — One star for effort?

*2014-11-14, version 4.3.1*

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Is a great concept but it doesn't WORK. Alarms go off with no sounds.

### 2/5 — Not much of an alarm

*2014-11-12, version 4.3.1*

All it does is send a notification. Need to unlock the phone to turn the alarm off or put it in sleep. I wish they would make that clear in the description.

### 2/5 — Money Grubber big time!!

*2014-11-08, version 4.3.1*

Could be an excellent app, but unfortunately if you want to personalize it, you have to pay big bucks... Too many in app purchase.

Too restrictive , sadly

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK!!!

*2014-10-15*

First off having to pay .99 for this is .99 too much! Then having to pay for extra features on top of that! Maybe I wouldn't be complaining if this app did what it says it does. This app is constantly freezing up and does not work! I have the alarm set for everyday of the week and from Sunday to today is has not gone off once, whenever I set a new alarm it freezes, whenever I go to check weather it freezes, whenever I go to settings it freezes! Total waste of .99, this app needs a major update to change my rating from one star, I'll be waiting.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2014-08-29*

The app requires an additional $2 purchase to work if you want to be able to turn off an alarm.  That $2 buys you the ability to turn off the alarm and have incorrect weather read to you.  For instance, the forecast for my location said the high and low was 64 and it was cloudy today. It's currently raining hard here and our high is forecasted to be 84.  I tried to change to another weather provider than their default: that feature is still under construction.  So to summarize: buy an app called talking weather alarm for 99 cents.  It neither talks nor shuts off.  Pay another 1.99 for unclearly explained addons. Get the functionality promised by the app save for accurate weather.  Wish I could have my $3 back.

### 2/5 — Good concept, poorly executed

*2014-07-23, version 4.2.1*

I grabbed the app after reading a positive review on a website. While the app has properly worked a few times, with an alarm app, 100% accuracy is critical. The UI is wacky and doesn't make sense for an alarm application. People are trying to simply set an alarm, not navigate a pretty UI.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2014-07-06, version 4.2.1*

Needs to be more fluid

### 1/5 — Talkingweather alarm clock

*2014-06-21, version 4.1.2*

Junk  put it back in then in then a box junk junk.           It not writhe money junk junk junk

### 1/5 — Payed app then pay again

*2013-09-19, version 3.4*

Went for the payed version of this app only to discover little of the functionality is included you seem to have to pay again with inn app purchase for it to read the news or weather. Poor value

### 4/5 — clock

*2013-05-31, version 3.4*

Good apps love it

### 1/5 — Not the full pack

*2013-03-25, version 3.3*

Voice pack is added cost, not told in original app download even after purchasing the pro version

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2025-02-22*

Bought the paid version for .99 then bought the expansion set for $7.99.  Alarm will only ring if I have the app open. If phone goes into sleep mode … nothing : ( Only the default voices work so paying $7.99 was a waste. Does not sync with Apple Watch. Over all rating -8 for the $8 wasted. No replay from contact us.

### 1/5 — No voices

*2022-02-27*

I purchased the full app, but the only voice that works is the default.  Otherwise, there is just silence.

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional

*2020-06-19, version 4.4*

Paid for the additional voices - and they are mute. I don’t know sign language.

### 1/5 — Alarm

*2019-06-12*

The alarm ring tone dose not work it has a glitch and the i tap on the stop than it starts talking

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-12-04, version 4.4*

You need to unlock the phone with fingerprint to turn the alarm off. After that you have options to stop alarm or snooze. After pressing stop alarm clock should start telling you weather but it’s loading and loading and loading and nothing happened. I lost £3 that I want back!

### 1/5 — Does not work suitably as an alarm

*2017-07-17, version 4.4*

This is not useful as an alarm as the app will not ring or give you a suitable notification when it is set to go off. Instead you get a strings of notifications. I have only been able to get the alarm to work whilst having the app open, which is not practical for every day use. Total waste of money.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2016-03-13*

I've tried so many times to make it work but it doesn't. If I tap on the app it just takes me back to my home screen. I've tried about 15 times to open it but won't open ☹☹☹.

### 1/5 — Great concept, but app doesn't work.

*2015-12-08*

I bought this app for $.99 and then bought the in-app package purchase for $7.99. The app has a lot of functions that I have been looking for in an alarm clock and can't find.  However, the app doesn't work correctly. The weather doesn't update. It sits and spins saying "updating" for a long time. Finally updates rarely, but the temperature on the interface doesn't match the temperature on the weather part of the app. I set the alarm to wake me up to a song on my music app but that doesn't work either. The alarm does sound, but it's just a standard ring. 
I have emailed the company with no response back.

### 1/5 — Doesn't function as advertised

*2015-05-27, version 4.3.2*

The snooze function did not start the news or weather. The shake function did not work. I had to open up my phone just to hit snooze, then nothing. Not at all as advertised. Plus they ask for more money and it does nothing promised. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Crashing (1 Mar 2015)

*2015-03-01, version 4.3.2*

App is inoperable. Home screen will load  and ~ 5 - 10 seconds later app will crash. 

App support site cannot be found via link in App Store. 

Recommend saving yourself some  coin on this one until it is fixed.

### 5/5 — Talk Alarm

*2015-12-18*

Excellent, perfect.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-08-02, version 4.2.1*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2014-07-08*

Very nice app. Lots of bugs at first, but support is fantastic and the app works very well now. I truly enjoy waking up and being told the weather, my calendar and the top headlines for the day. Lots of options to customize. And there are even more options in the works. Good job!

### 5/5 — Talking weather clock

*2013-11-11, version 3.4*

Cool App love the features

### 5/5 — Me

*2013-03-03, version 3.3*

Great

### 5/5 — Good App

*2012-10-27*

I got this app because it does 2 things at once (time & weather) & does them pretty well. I think it would be worth the download.

### 5/5 — Cool Alarm

*2012-10-22*

Cool alarm,wake up to time and weather on your area,love it.

### 5/5 — Better than the default.

*2012-10-08, version 3.2*

You'd think the default app with Siri could do what this app does. Love getting weather details when I wake.

### 5/5 — Best alarm for iPhone

*2012-10-03*

This is, hands down, the best alarm for the iPhone.  Two things this  app NEEDS, though:

1)  It needs a version for the iPad.

2)  It needs to run in landscape mode, especially if an iPad version is made.

### 5/5 — Talking Alarm

*2012-08-08*

Great program, the best i've seen of all the alarm apps for the iPhone. I really like the features, and options, it is a well thought program. One thing I would like to see is a better selection of news to choose from, like Fox News, and others, the current choices are very limited! Let's add some choices please!
Also when I try to get some all packs and other for my purchased talking weather pro that I paid for from the app store, it's saying that I have to buy the app, this is unacceptable, and I want it rectified, or I will let the app store know this app and others! As u must know words of mouth travels fast especially on the internet!
