Gentle Talking Alarm Clock

This app does not do what it advertises. Does not speak to you before the alarm. My volume was up and there was no voice. Alarm itself worked fine. But the only reason to download this instead of using your phone’s alarm is for the voice to say the time. Never happened.

When setting the alarm for a future time… the alarm goes off IMMEDIATELY. I like the elegant design and and intended function. It just doesn’t seem to work as designed. In its current state, it is useless. I hope the developer FIXES this.

I would not recommend this app. It does not work. If you try to push the button to turn it on. Despite if the app is set for 9 am and it is currently 2 pm, it will go off. I’ve also never heard the “gentle voice.”

Nicest “gentle” alarm compared to some others, but voices and sounds/alarms are limited (few to choose from) and feel outdated. More selections would be greatly welcomed. (No updates for 2 years?)

I followed the directions, set the time I wanted the voice to start and the time for the alarm to start, and nada. The alarm didn’t go off. So I went back into the app, adjusted the times again, made sure to slide the “Turn on” bar (which is a very bizarre way of turning it on when a simple button will suffice, not to mention was not covered in the tutorial), only to immediately have the alarm start going off even though it was no where near the times I had set the alarm and there was no voice AT ALL. When I slid the bell to “snooze” (again another very bizarre way to do it, and also not covered in the tutorial, I only figured out what to do courtesy of my dog wanting me to pet her and pulling on my hand right as I touched the bell), the alarm only snoozed for a second before coming back on even though I had adjusted the snooze time to be 4 minutes. Only the “off” slide seems to be the only thing that actually worked as it was supposed to. Additionally, I had adjusted the volume to not be very loud, but when the alarm came back on after the “snooze” it was back to the default volume and not the volume I had set it at. So yeah, I’ve taken back the space on my phone and deleted this waste of space. Too bad there’s not a way to delete it from my purchase history.

Love the concept! But Only the music works not the voice every minute. Disappointing.

I didn’t read the tutorial correctly. It says to ensure that the do not disturb mode is schedule to end prior to the alarm going off. Makes perfect sense since that is the primary function of that mode to prevent any notifications or sounds. Duh… Maybe make that a bigger warning on the tutorial so not to forget.

this app really does nothing but one alarm and snooze. it does NOT speak you the time before the alarm. worst 10 minutes wasted of my life following precise instructions of the app that eventually tells you to buy. but guess what, Talking Clock is also a mess. developer does not answer emails neither answers on twitter. this dev is just a scam and Apple should ban him from App Store. worst 5 dollars spent on his Talking Clock app. UPDATE in response to rude developer answer: find the email from 28 June 2020 with subject “Talking Clock for iPhone bug”. I am a real user frustrated by your arrogance, not a concurrent dev. Check your tweet mentions on 28.06.2020 where again there is a bug complain about totally broken iPad version!

I like the app but you can’t set it for repeat alarms. If you try to it tells you to go to the App Store and buy the full version. Only I can’t find the full version! If you have a full version of the app how do you purchase it?? I’d change my review to 5 stars if you could find the full version and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to purchase.
