See update in the review below. Good app. But there is a bug. You cannot set an alarm for just Sunday. You must set it for Sunday and another day. Update. After I reported the bug the author immediately fixed it.

W70%
by W####:

It only give British news.. No option to read where I live I USA. Weather often wrong even though zip code is in app. I have used this app for a couple years but uninstalled today and will begin looking for a replacement

Y70%
by Y####:

Accurate. Talking weather and news great for starting the day and talking daily calendar is very useful. Recommended.

D70%
by D####:

With newer updates its improved and more stable. Really nice feature of getting updates read from Twitter. Also add option to set news to be read from Websites as currently its only via Twitter where you cannot choose your category like Health or Science. Only as its free we can see what works for us and what doesn't. Missed the Talking alarm from Samsung Note 2 series.

Some reason Samsung removes app like this on their note series. Glad I found this app it's very useful for reading my daily schedule to me from my Google Calendar along with weather. Thanks for the app. Only wish headphone did not silence the alarm from the phones speaker

Works great and speaks whatever i type in

Does everything I would expect from an alarm app and does it well..

F70%
by F####:

News works great. but not quite intuitive interface. Needs some improvement. But this is the only news alarm we have looks like.

E70%
by E####:

Keeps going around in circles when to try to create an alarm. Wont let me go back. Had to close the app. The clumbsy interface needs some work. But I got it to work after some fiddling. Have incressed my rating accordingly. But still needs improving.

U70%
by U####:

Not the most user friendly, but for the price ir works great. It reminds me of my old Samsung S3 alarm.

N70%
by N####:

This app has everything you need all in one. News, alarm, your calendar for the day and weather for the next 3 days. Absolute best one out there! Thank you developers!

Please add the function to trigger the alarm. Add an IFTTT recipe or enable NFC trigger, please.

J70%
by J####:

Always works

Y70%
by Y####:

It doesn't say what day or time it is, which would seem to be an obvious thing. As in "it is 8 am Tuesday July 1".... update: according to the developer, this is unnecessary. I've lowered my rating accordingly: if you cannot understand that the end user might have needs dissimilar to yours, you're in the wrong field. I'll be looking for something else that will do what I need.

Y70%
by Y####:

Other radio apps sometimes don't work when they can't find the stream. This always works because of the backup sound. Always wake up when I hear the news.

U70%
by U####:

I like how it's customizable. It's completely moldable and you can make many alarms. This helps me get up and going on those super early days. I live hearings about what I want to hear about first thing. You can get different voices for it. It works 99% of the time...every time.

O70%
by O####:

I like the option to have my calendar read aloud as I wake (that's the whole reason I got it!), but it's a little clumsy to get the alarm and content set just right.

U70%
by U####:

Exactly what I needed. I need something to catch my interest in the morning or I won't get up. This works.

U70%
by U####:

Please, Please sort out the UI. Needs a complete revamp to bring it up to date! Oh and it works on my S7E without issue!

App works great the ideas great but then it stops working it's very buggy and unreliable

U70%
by U####:

Ok, the ui is a little shabby, but functionally this is a great app. The ability to select which diaries to read would be my top improvement - I have several friends shared calendars, so I get to know what they are all up to before my day begins - would prefer just my appointments. Also, the news headlines are separated by an optional beep. Would be good to do the same with the calendar appointments. That said, I have searched for a decent app to do this, and this is by far the best I've found.

U70%
by U####:

I like the options of news, and the content provided, but I really need a snooze feature. The page for the app shows that there should be a snooze, but I can't find it on the app.

I love to set up funny and motivational greetings with it! I wish I could set which google calendars to read though. :)

L70%

Takes a while to synthesize. Wish they synthesized the entire message and then play it. Awkward pauses between sections of the alarms

It works great for me
