HeyClock

As far as I can tell, this app does nothing. Tried to set numerous alarms, they never went off at their set times. It shouldn’t be possible to just upload whatever trash you want to this app store, this is not Google.

I have always struggled with attention deficit disorder. This app has changed my life. It's helped me throughout my work day. It is too easy to ignore a timer or a regular alarm. The fact that you can use this app to set voice reminders is what makes it so good. It's helped me establish routines and made my hectic work day very manageable. Best $2 I ever spent. My boss even loves how much my work has improved since getting this app. Yes you have to keep it running in the background due to APPLE'S security restrictions. That's not the app developer's fault. That's apple's fault. I just keep my kid off my phone and a lock screen.

Unfortunately the alarm is not loud at all, I set it for today and heard nothing , please make the person speaking loud or add a bell feature or some kind of loud noise with it.

I’ve tried several alarm apps and this one had all of the best features I wanted, the concept itself is fantastic. It has to be running in order to work, however, which is a unfortunately a dealbreaker. Between my kids grabbing my phone and quitting apps, or forgetting in the hectic evening rush to make sure that it’s all set up, running and left open, this app is sadly not reliable enough to be my go-to. The idea is great, and does work, but requiring that kind of daily attention from someone who’s already combatting time blindness is not a great fit.

It would be helpful if you would tell us the settings that need to be adjusted so that the bloody thing works

Can’t use it unless I provide it with permission to access my location on always. I wish I could get a refund.

I helped beta test this app for a couple months and it has helped me so much with my struggle of losing track of time. My most important alarm is the one that tells me to leave for work. Before I started using HeyClock, I would constantly lose track of time playing games on my phone or doing chores before work and as a result of that, I was very frequently late to work. Now, with the help of having my phone actually telling me the time verbally and also telling me it’s time to go to work, I’ve been able to consistently make it to work on time! I’ve also been able to set routine alarms up for household chores that don’t necessarily need to be done every day. I typically forget or get distracted and have a terrible time getting household chores done, but having my phone verbally remind me “hey go do the laundry” and stuff like that is helping me make better habits for myself. There’s something about actually being verbally told the time and what my task or reminder is that has helped me more than just using the standard phone alarms and reminders.
