Too wordy, ugly voice
App speaks long sentence in an ugly voice every 15 minutes. Optionally, we should be able to hear just the time, having the option of a simple ding for shorter intervals, combined with spoken time (not sentence) at set longer intervals. If youโve been around this long, you should try to make a better product. How has no one realized how annoying it would be to hear this horrid voice speak a full sentence every 15 minutes. I had to delete it, itโs useless if itโs just going to sound this bad.

Nothing keeps me on track better!
This app works simply & clearly to let me know how much time has passed or is left before the next thing. And it works with all my other apps, especially music, when Iโm hiking. Use it every day. There is nothing else that is as helpful.
Best Interface
Other timer apps fail to ignore the silent state of your phone ringer (!) and require multiple screens, one to set the time and another to start the countdown.
Setting alarms between 12 noon and 12:59pm
I actually find most of the features of this application to be be great. I was disappointed that there hadn't been any updates in nearly a year and thought about this when I considered my purchase. I recently discovered that I cannot set an alarm for 12 noon or anytime from noon to 12:59pm. Doing so will display an "am" time setting. Many other features are nice/helpful. It has a nice interface. It has way too many "event types" to choose from. Would really like to see a fix to the issue I'm having. Also, in lieu of all of the many "event types" to choose from, it would be nice to be able to customize or even change the order of the type alarms/alerts that one uses the most.

Great upgrade! Thanks!!!
Use it everyday for stretching and working out. I don't have to count it announces to me every 30 seconds!!
Awesome! Multitasking is great iphone 4
I love this app I use it when i am working out...stretching and drills because It's better than watching the clock as I can stay focused with greater intensity...All the other previous reviewers are just people who can't read the description and then download the app and want alarm notifications when the app is NOT running...learn to read first kinda something taught in elementary..And don't blame your lack of reading skills on the developers because they can't go around the restrictions of apple's OS for the iphone..BUY IT if the description makes sense to you I USE IT EVERYDAY AND LOVE IT!

Love the 24-Hour Sync with Calendar
Very helpful app. With a talking clock, timer, and iPhone calendar 24-hour sync button, it goes beyond the basic alarm. The announcement choices are numerous and some of them are fun and amusing. The female voice is not the best quality but it works. The male voice sounds more human but is also slightly distorted.

Multitasking?
I love the idea of a voice alarm so I don't have to keep pulling my phone out at work to check the time. However, it's not supporting multitasking on iPhone 4 which is very inconvenient since I listen to music while I work. Impliment multitask and you'll have five stars from me.
Love it! Recommended!
I think this really is a great app.
The other night I had to prepare a dinner to be ready at 7 p.m. By having this app running I could hear exactly how much time I had left while I was cooking. I also use to tell me how much time I have used for riding the bike and how much time I have left before appointments.
I recommend it to anyone with a tight schedule.

Stopwatch limitation
The only reason I bought this application was to have a vocal stopwatch that counts the seconds, but the smallest increment it announces is 15 seconds. Please add a seconds counter!!!
Functionality
The notification function is disabled if the application is not running. As soon as the iPhone wallpaper comes on or the phone is used for some other purpose requiring an application, you are flying blind.
I understand that Apple not allowing applications to run in the background is the source of the problem... but this should be mentioned on the information page of the iTunes Application Store.

Very useful
Great idea! I find myself using this application all the time to keep track of my time. I use it both at work (to keep appointments) and when I exercise. It has been surprisingly useful to have a voice that tells me the 'time to" or "time remaining" rather than just an alarm going off.
I have not had any problems with the quality of the voice - it works well both in my headphones and through the internal speakers.

Pretty good - I like it.
Yes, the voice is a little distorted, yet very understandable. And, it would be nice if it kept announcing the times when the app was not on top. However, it works great for my needs. I like to downhill ski. I have my tunes going and then set the clock to give me time updates every 30 minutes (or 10 minutes or 5 minutes whatever). I never have to check my watch or undo my coat to look at my iPod (pretty cool). I just keep skiing. If I have an appointment, the "intellegent" reminder frequency is less obtrusive at the start and begins to remind me more often as my appointment time comes. I used this to tell me it was time to meet the rest of the group at the lodge for lunch. Without having to get to my iPod, or bundled up wristwatch, I was aware of the time and could "adjust my course" to maximize runs and not be late.

Waste of money
Voice is not remotely clear, poor quality app. You need to calculate your event, if you could just type your event date and time into the app and have it calculate the alarm time, then you would have something. But of course, you must buy the app to find out it's crap.
Nice Speaking Clock
Love all the features of the clock. But the four star rating is because the voiced are to loud and cracky. I had to lower my volume to understand the voice but even at a lower volume setting the voices are still crack. Pleas fix this! Thank you!
