### 1/5 — バグ報告

*2026-04-02*

11時を11時10分とアナウンスするバグが解消されない者

**Developer response:** 何でだろう？11時です。
と言う音声しか存在しないのですが・・念の為にトーキングを1度オフにしてから再度オンにして頂けますか？

### 4/5 — 直りました

*2025-12-25*

急に音声で喋らなくなり普通の通知音に戻ってしまいました。

が、いろいろいじっていたら直りました。

**Developer response:** ご利用ありがとうございます。
音声は日本語でしょうか？
日本語の音声をよりなめらかな発音になる様少し音量調整いたしました。
再度オンオフを切り替え、音声通知を作成し直した上で音量の調整をよろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — すごく良いです

*2023-09-03*

とても重宝してます。1週間の曜日でon/offできると
更に便利です。土日は仕事が休みですので土日も
時報が鳴ってしまうともう少し寝ていたいのに
起こされてしまいます。😝

**Developer response:** ご利用ありがとうございます。
ロック時の音量調整はアプリを終了して、ホーム画面で調整した音量になります。
イヤホンで音楽を聴いている時にも、敵音で聞こえるように野外にてミュージックを聴きながらテストを繰り返した結果、現在の音量になっておりますので、ご確認の程よろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — Donna Miller

*2023-04-09*

I love the voice clock, and I use it all the time. I like the idea of announcing the time and letting me go on with my day. However, the one thing I would love for it to be able to do is to announce every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. That would be really great. But I have it set for every half hour, and it is doing a great job.

### 4/5 — 음량 크기 조절 문제…

*2023-03-04*

좋은 앱을 무료로 사용하게 해 주셔서 고맙습니다. 
한 가지 문제가 있는데 앱 내에서의 시각 소리 크기보다, 앱에서 나와서 들리는 실제 알림 소리가 더 커서 주변이 조용할 때 깜짝깜짝 놀래곤 합니다. 
이 부분만 수정해 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

**Developer response:** VoiceClock을 이용해 주셔서 감사합니다.
야외에서 이어폰을 하고 음악을 듣고 있을 때도 들릴 수 있도록 설정하고 있습니다.
또한 다른 앱을 사용하는 동안 음성이 흐르는 경우에는 실행 중인 앱의 볼륨 설정이 되므로 주의하시기 바랍니다.

### 4/5 — 日常生活をさりげなくサポートしてくれます

*2022-12-14*

音声時計としては、多機能でありながら使いやすく、入れておいて損はしないアプリだと思います。
しかしながら、私にはちょっと期待はずれでした。
スマホをロックした状態でもシェークをすれば時間を教えてくれるものだと思ってましたが違いました。
今後、機能が実装されることを強く希望いたします。

**Developer response:** ダウンロードありがとうございます！
申し訳ございません、シェイクで時間を通知するのはアプリが起動している時のみになります。
音声通知をオンにしている時はロックしても設定時刻に時間をお知らせしますので、仕事に集中していても時の流れを音声で教えてくれます。

### 1/5 — Update still hasn’t fixed the issue of it not working!

*2022-09-11*

Works fine until 3:45pm everyday!! Starts working at midnight!! Stops working completely if you turn on the sleep timer even if it’s not actually at night when it should come on. It literally won’t work at all during the day until you turn that feature off. Such a waste of money and no response from developers! Even if I start the talking App when I turn my phone on at 9am, it’ll still work until 3:45pm everyday and then stop. The developer says the App will only work for a max of 64 times a day but that doesn’t seem to be true. Also even if I set the sleep for 12 hours, it still won’t allow the App to work at all, even outside of these hours. SORT IT OUT! Update yet again! - started this App / turned it on at 1pm today and YET AGAIN, It stops at 3:45pm! Developers need to stop sending me the same instructions, it doesn’t work! COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY! UPDATE YET AGAIN AFTER THE DEVELOPERS SAY ITS MY FAULT I CANT GET THIS APP TO WORK! Setting it to 15 minutes DOES NOT WORK! It always stops at 3:45pm! I don’t close the App too soon like you’ve told me MANY TIMES! What I find funny is, setting it to half hour option, it WORKS ALL DAY! No issue! The 15 minute option DOES NOT WORK and it’s not because it’s alerted me too many times as starting it at 1pm and it still STOPS AT 3:45pm! SO UPDATE - The 15 minute option DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, I tried for months to get it to work BUT the 30 minute option works all day. Only issue is, every hour it says 5pm, 5:30pm, 6pm, 6:30pm and so on all day, including AM time BUT WHEN IT GETS TO 8pm, instead of just saying 8pm, it says 8 o’clock PM! Can I ask why 8pm is not correct? If I set the sleep timer part to stop talking from 10pm until 5am, it still doesn’t allow the App to work at all, literally DOES NOT work at all. I’ve turned it off and I just manually turn the App off to stop announcing the time when I’m ready to go to bed. This allows the App to work. The making of this App is good but there are serious bugs that really need to be sorted out especially as you charge for this App! UPDATE - Developers stop telling me I’m closing the App to soon. You’ve told me every time. If I was closing the App too soon, the 15 minute option wouldn’t work until 3.45pm and the 30 minute option wouldn’t work all day! Take note of the issue with the announcement of the 8pm time. THAT CANT BE ME BY CLOSING THE APP TOO SOON!!! THERE ARE BUGS THAT YOU NEED TO SORT OUT! NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!
———————————————
ANOTHER USELESS RESPONSE FROM THE DEVELOPERS! Do you actually read my comments?! 15 minute option DOES NOT work! Even if I start it at 1pm, it STOPS every time at 3:45pm! That is less then 64 times! There is a FAULT WITH THE SOFTWARE! Have you read about the issue with the 8pm announcement? There is a fault with the 8pm announcement. Again nothing to do with me! It’s YOUR fault! Again, once again, I tell you that the sleep notification option, stops the App working at all! Even if it’s set to 10pm to 5am, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL even between 5am and 10pm! 
Please realise that you need to do improvements within this App for people to actually get a working App that WE PAY FOR! STOP sending me the SAME response each time I update my review!!!

**Developer response:** 【15 minutes is 96 times in 24 hours, so you need 8 hours of rest a day.
It will be 64 times from 5:00 am to 8:45 pm.
（Start notification 5:00 AM to End notification 8:45 PM）
Tap "ON" to turn "Talking OFF" once, and tap again to start creating voice data, so please wait voice you hear "Ended".
Please refer to the support site for details.

### 5/5 — mit freundlichen Grüßen Adina. Iannello.

*2022-08-24*

ich finde Voice Clock sehr gut mein Vorschlag wäre das nicht nur die Uhrzeit angesagt werden soll sondern auch alle Namen von jeden blinde Person die iPhone benutzen auch an gesagt Wird

### 2/5 — 使い勝手は良いが、通知間隔の柔軟性が欲しい

*2022-07-19*

通知間隔が1時間、30分、15分、1分しかないのが残念。10分、5分の設定もあれば満足。

### 1/5 — 계속해서 업데이트를 해봐야 …

*2021-11-17*

전체 알림 화면이든 배너든 그건 문제가 아님.
물론 계속 알림이 뜨는 게 걸리적거리긴 하지만.
그런데 
가장 불편한 건
휴대폰을 사용하고 있을 때
예를 들면 
화면이 켜져 있을 때는
알림음이 끊어짐.
시간을 말하다 그냥 끊어지는 것이 가장 큰 문제.
업데이트를 계속 해서
그 문제를 해결하려나 기대하는데
전혀 해결되지 않고 있음.
전에는 그런 문제가 없었는데
왜 이런 상태가 되었는지 
하루 빨리 해결하기 바람.
제발! 부디!!!!!!

**Developer response:** 부탁드립니다.
오디오가 중단되지 않도록 배너를 숨깁니다.
VoiceClock 알림 설정을 다음 설정합니다.
【잠금 화면:ON】,
【공지 센터：OFF】,
【배너：OFF】,
【사운:ON】
・이유(1. 배너가 닫힐 때 음성도 정지, 2. 배너가 표시되어 있을 때 화면을 탭하면 음성이 정지한다)
   iOS 사용으로 인한 것입니다.
잘 부탁드립니다.
