### 1/5 — I should have read the reviews - the app doesn’t announce the time.

*2024-07-06*

I want my money back. The app doesn’t do what it promises.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2024-03-01*

No instructions or settings to make changes. It show Celsius even though I have Fahrenheit chosen. Also won’t give the time while screen is locked which is what I was looking for.

### 2/5 — Not ready for purpose

*2023-01-07*

Too much bling, not enough substance. This app needs to do what it’s title suggest i.e. speak the time and/or temperature.
No need for multiple coloured clocks - just one for dark mode and one for light. 
The speaking voices are second class. Why not use Siri’s voices?
Also to use the standard “o clock” not “hours. 
Also an option for chimes instead of time?
Why two clock faces? Analog AND digital? Surely one or the other with an option for both. 
Also regional wallpapers are just not necessary. 
Also time talking in the background when the app is not front page. 
KISS - keep it Simple Stupid is the name of the game. 
I thought of asking for a refund but did not because it does, however badly, talk the time. 
Back to the drawing board!!

### 1/5 — Didee66

*2022-11-29, version 1.4*

This does not work with my iPhone X. It is not so user friendly and can’t choose when it’s starts and when it finishes. Bit worse still I hear nothing! I don’t see that it works in the background . I don’t need to have the clock face on the front screen my phone has that already! Oh I was so wishing it will work Cos I need it. Very disappointed 😔.. a refund is in order or give me an app that works or even better still instructions on how to set it up properly… I am happy to change the rating if it works!

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2021-12-11, version 1.3*

Had it for 3 days not a single time anouncment

### 1/5 — doesn’t do what it says

*2020-08-13*

it doesn’t actually announce the time like it says. waste of money.

### 5/5 — Time announce people

*2019-11-19, version 1.3*

Multi function suprimo ameeeeeezed

### 5/5 — Time Announcer Pro

*2019-07-29, version 1.3*

This app works great. Thanks for the hard work. 
Can you add a feature switch that will enable time announcements when the phone is locked or on another app?

### 5/5 — Time announce

*2019-05-15, version 1.3*

Excellent

### 1/5 — I didn’t like it

*2018-06-02*

I expected more options.  My mistake for not reading the reviews.  Also, pay attention to the second permissions request.  I am not sure you should accept.
