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)

SpeakMinder costs $2.99 and Shopping.List $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SpeakMinder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shopping.List has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SpeakMinder's written reviews are positive against 86% of Shopping.List's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SpeakMinder ships an update every 4 months, Shopping.List fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
