Read full description

This is a hands free reminder app. You set it for either a location or at a time and it will speak a phrase you enter without having to touch the device. How many times has your phone played a sound, just so you can pick up the phone to find out why it was making the noise? This app speaks exactly what you want to say, exactly when or where you want to say it. You can also use it for a location. You can set it to say "Go in and talk to the teacher" when you pull into the school's parking lot, or "Pay the light bill" when you pull into your driveway. The icon will have a number, telling you how many reminders you have set. (English Only)
