Great! Must have

Talking Time

I very much appreciate Talk Time. One of the best apps I’ve seen !!

Reminder

Sometimes I get focused on doing something and loose track of time. This app gives me a gentle reminder of what time it is. I have it remind me every 15 minutes. Love it.

Day of week

Sure wish day of week were available!

Garbage PreSettings

Won't allow you to set the times yourself unless you pay for it, which literally defeats the whole point of using the app to begin with. Moved along to something more logical instead of an app who only cares about my money. Business like this is low quality, and exactly how you LOSE customers.

FAQ

What does TalkingTime do?

TalkingTime speaks the current time audibly at user-defined intervals, such as on the hour, half-hour, or quarter-hour. It also functions as a pill reminder. The app is designed to be 'set and forget', running efficiently in the background after initial setup to conserve battery.

How does TalkingTime save battery?

The app only runs during its setup phase. Once configured, it operates efficiently in the background without significantly draining your phone's battery. This 'set and forget' approach allows you to use your phone for other tasks while still receiving time announcements.

Does TalkingTime support different time formats?

Yes, TalkingTime respects your phone's existing time setting. It will announce the time using either the 12-hour (AM/PM) format or the 24-hour format, depending on what you have configured on your device.

Is TalkingTime free to use?

The application is free to download and use, with the option for in-app purchases. This allows users to access all features and functionalities of the app.
