Talking Calendar Reminder app

It often misses my reminders. I think maybe* it happens when the phone's internet connection is poor, ie. if the reminder is set for 2pm but the phone doesn't connect to the internet during that exact minute then it totally misses the reminder. You'd think that if the event duration was an hour long it would remind you at 2:01pm (or whenever it next connects) but it simply doesn't work. Anyone got some ideas how to make it more reliable? I've been trying for a year (with several different phones) to get this to work consistently.

I've used this app for at least a year, and love not having to look at my phone to know what appointment it's reminding me of. Love the features to adjust volume, speed of announcement, the ability to not have some private reminders/alerts announced .... It has everything I need. Only thing I would fix; have a choice to not repeat. Otherwise, great job. Whenever there's been a little glitch, it's been fixed within a day. THANK YOU!!

Needed this so my phone tells me an update every morning of the days appointments. Never forget the kids sports day or class assembly. Great if your not in the habit of actually looking at your calendar. The customer service is very quick. If you have a question about any of the functions just email and they will get back to you with step by step actions.

I hate this app I should have given it zero but there is no option for that. The problem is that it just simply does not work. It does not say or speak the event. If does not ring or remind. It does not even show a pop up notification. Utter waste of time

This is a new phone for me. My old calendar had more settings to do what I needed. This phones calendar works with Talking calendar automatically with less set up per appointment and talks my reminder as opposed to a weak tone reminder to check what the appointment is. Love this combo much better.

In case you're reading this and don't have it installed yet, you need a calendar app too and this one works through that one. Google calendar is the default one and the fact it reminds you out loud is so incredibly useful, just obviously be careful what you ask it to remind you, because public in town will hear it too! So don't put personal information. But my goodness it's great. 5★

After enabling TTS app it works perfectly. Like having a personal assistance that doesn't talk back. Excellent app for us senior citizens. Who remembers to look at the calendar daily, unless you remember you have an event. You should market to AARP. 10 Stars

I need the spoken reminders. I can write as many notes as I want but I get busy and forget about them. This talks to me and tells me.

If this read off events that were not all day events it'd be 5 stars. Overall I really like it and it's my default alarm now too.

Works once or twice, then stops. I'm giving it a few more tries and see if it completely doesn't work or even quirky. Then it's good riddance

Useful app, it make sense of the calendar by talking instead of just a tone, I use it every day for all types of reminders, It would be good if there was a purchased version even though the adds have been kept to a minimum, thank you developer keep up the great work

not buggy, nice app. fully satisfied my needs. thanks! reccommended for those who like to plan their tasks and keep on schedule.

Fantastic app. Tried several others but this is the best. Do not mind the ads on top of the screen because these are not something which disturbs the app / reminder. Just be careful how to do the settings because if you set high volume, all office or place would hear what's up for the day. :)

I love this app. It has always worked even when I have switched to a newer phone. It is great in the car and has saved me manying times from forgetting an appointment.

This app starts my day by telling me everything I've listed in my calendar. From reminders to pickup wine to my appointments for today and tomorrow if I want those too. It's an effective way to start your day and keep you on track all day.

This is a great app! The only change I would like is a pro version without ads. This is very user friendly, unclutered and intuitive!

I am blind this is truly a life saver making the difference between being able to be independant of not love it. I would pay for a premium app if available

Create event widget won't work nor will next event .

Does not work unless you have a calendar already installed.

I used to love it, but it keep saying the reminder even after a couple hours every 15 min with no way to dismiss.

I think this app is great! Only wish you could pick which calendar you want it to read

Not working don't waste time

Please update app for 6.0.1 most of the time the volume is low and I can barely hear the event please fix.

Galaxy note 7. Just make sure you only use 1 calendar as default setting.

It's nice to have such a good app that is ad-free, for features that's workable and enhances device...

It's a wonderful app ☺️ User friendly

This is the best appointment app I have found , the very best!

I really do like this app

I love this app and I look forward to any new improvements

I love it because I can put all my reminders

Love this app. I take medication and see many doctors. This app always reminds me and is easy to use.

Awesome! I just wish it would give notifications for Google Reminders as well.

I find that this app it has everything that I require. I particularly like the feature that not only tells you the time of the event but also the time remaining to the event. Only one VERY MINOR glitch, although set to repeat only once it sometimes (very seldom) repeats twice. LOVE IT!!! Would give it seven stars if possible.

I have a Galaxy S7 and was running this app as well as S Planner (native Samsung calendar app) and Google Calendar. Since IMO S Planner is virtually the same though slightly better (can see event details on monthly view) I decided to uninstall Google Calendar. Et Viola, now this talking calendar app works all the time. Hooray! ps Of course I can feed in my Google Calendar data into S Planner so you don't have to miss out on having it.

This app used to work fine and I've had it for ages, but now it just shows the reminder on my phone, but doesn't actually say anything. I've tried everything I can think of to set it up on my calendar and the Google text to speech to make it talk again, but it doesn't work now. What went wrong? Developers please fix this as I need this app.

It is very helpful. I can know my schedule without having to hold/see the phone in my hand.... I made it say 'Hello, Master VGE, I am Selma, your personal digital assistant, please keep in mind to' and have it read whatever in my Google calendar. The ONLY drawbacks are: 1. It doesn't have 'no repeat' option. It repeats at least once, sometimes can be quite annoying, hehehe... Especially at night, when it's quiet. 2. It has no 'quiet hour' that can be set at different days. -VGE-

I don't need this app., when Google Calendar does the same.
