Like having your own secretary! Gets me out the door and into meetings on time. The app works great on my Droid. When an important meeting is getting close I set it to tell me the time every 5 minutes. Keeps me from getting distracted. Recently, not always talking. May be too many pics on phone (My phone's memory issue for several of my apps - will try to free up memory and compare)'

I'm easily distracted. This app often helps to keep me focused during my day.

*Never lonely again* Now I have someone talking to me, even when my wife is out of town. And I can talk back too, depending on my mood "thank you" or "yes, I know!"

Update the time please not good at all. For example Instead its say the time is 3 oclock its say 3 .04 fix that I already pay for it

This has been off 4 minutes 90 percent of the time for the last month or so. Wish this worked right.

X70%
by X####:

Tells the time sometimes a few minutes early before its supposed to and sometimes on time and sometimes behind a few minutes and yes I have the latest version installed. The problem seems to be the doze mode keeping the phone asleep and or your app failing to wake it up on time.

I tried this on redmi phone.Tried to contact develper but no response.I am going to compaint about this to remove app from google store and file a lawsuite for cheating customers by selling fraud products on google

After trying a few "free" apps of this type, I quickly learned that spending a little over a buck and a half is well worth it! This app announces the time exactly according to the Android clock and it doesn't miss announcements when the screen is off. The settings work perfectly on my phone including not announcing when in silent mode or on a phone call. The "silent hours" also work perfectly stopping the announcements during the night as set. And much to my surprise, it doesn't use much battery juice either!

It doesn't work like before. Announce time 3 to 4 mins behind time. Irritating.

X70%
by X####:

Okay so maybe I'm not on time all the time but ever since I got this app it has really helped me to keep on time. I use it often when I'm in preparing to go somewhere getting ready to make sure that I leaving on time.

What good is a talking app that doesn't pronounce the words properly? Instead of am it says I'm. "The time is 10 um" WTF! The developers have got some nerve charging for this ridiculous app. I will be uninstalling after this review.

Z70%
by Z####:

I get lost in work and fail to recognize how much time has passed by. This app solves the problem nicely. Ability to silence app at specific times is great, just wish it would let me select which days it should remain silent, since i dont need it on weekends.

D70%
by D####:

It was working fine before mrshmallow, but now announces at random times. It needs updating for Android 6+

S70%
by S####:

Many options for speaking clearly and accurately in several languages. Only wish I had the option to remove the visible 'T' in the notification bar, which shows it is running in the background. I know it is running in the background, because I activated it. Otherwise...a great talking clock!

K70%
by K####:

Worked at first, after that, not so much. It states what time it will next announce the time. Several minutes after that time has past, it has not done so. Volume is at 3/4th.

Great app!!! Just be ready to hear it through certain Bluetooths. May scare ya! Downgrade one star the app puts a T in ya tray not cool... Update -1 because for some strange reason it says 8:01 not 8:00 every evening.

U70%
by U####:

Tried every similar app, they didn't work. Was ready to give up, then found this one & voila, it actually works! All others failed during music playback, or worked sometimes, or crashed, or caused problematic behaviour with other apps, or did not have adequate controls (quiet time, notification controls, pitch/speed, etc). This one does it all, only thing missing is it should use installed voice engine, not use it's own, and be nice to edit lead-in part of announcement. Not sure it's being developed anymore. Uodate: has issues after phone update, crashes.

N70%

It announced the time on set interval. Very useful application and I use it extensively on my nexus 6. No need to switch on the phone and look at time.

S70%
by S####:

It announces the time, every time, when the other applications stop working.

Where are the settings for this app? I have the paid version but no settings.

Doesn't chew up battery

I am trying this out for the first time! On my Droid. So far, it is EXCELLENT! Thanks ' Tree '

R70%
by R####:

Actually I think this is a great app but I think it eats battery power

N70%
by N####:

A great app. Does exactly what I want it to. However, it's most certainly not worth $1.50. An app this small SHOULD be free.

J70%
by J####:

Reliable. Works all day, good app. However I wish the PICO TTS sounded better. Voice unclear and hard to understand at times. Maybe a fix?

R70%
by R####:

Great app, however the volume setting doesn't work even when phone is in silent mode still shouts time at you!

Gud

R70%
by R####:

I rarely pay for apps, but this one was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing it needs to make it 5 stars is if it told you the day. Like "it's Tuesday 2:30 pm" or something like that.

R70%
by R####:

This should have a trial version first, so people won't pay just to find out it's not working good... Most of the time it's not working. Yes, it's cheap, but still, it wasted my time installing and buying it... Maybe for some users it's working, but how about those unsatisfied users like me???

R70%
by R####:

I tried many of the free apps before this... this is simple n effective.. i recommend this one....

I use this app to stay on schedule. It has so many choices to use and choose from. Thank you so much for creating this.

It does what it is supposed to do. If you are having problems, double check your settings, it might be your own fault. The reliability is worth the price. Very happy.
