Chime : Speaking Clock

Does not run in background

The latest update of early November seems to be making everything work fine now. Thank you so much for updating😊 I wish Apple would give better updates when it comes to affecting notifications. Focus, and everything related to it, seems to always screw things up. (was : It seems to have stopped working with iOS 17 I can’t figure out why please update. Thanks.)

It seems to be a really good app and I am quite looking forward to enjoy it. However, I am stuck at the set up that it requires me to disable banners in notifications and I am pretty sure the banners have been disabled. I hope this error could be fixed and I can proceed to further functions in this app.

I used to have an app just like this by Blacktree, but it stopped working when iOS 15 came out in September 2021. It doesn’t even exist on the App Store anymore. I really miss that app. Edit. I use the short beep. Which the other chime app had the same sound, but with this one it’s always two beeps every time it goes off, but with the other it would do two beeps on the hour, and then only one at the half hours and quarter hours. that helped with understanding what time it was easier. So with the other one I had it set to go every quarter hour, but because the short beeps are set up the way they are on this one, I only do every half hour. any consideration of possibly changing the short beep setting would be appreciated.

Not supporting 17

The app worked great for a month and then iOS 17 hit. It hasn’t worked since.

I really love this app but it stopped announcing the time after iOS 17 update. I’m using an iPhone XR. I even uninstalled it then reinstalled but still didn’t work.

best app for speaking clock

Sad now that they REMOVED the 1/4 voice time announcement. It WAS perfect. Now, less so. Please put it back they way it was!!! Thanks

I want an app that will announce the current time at five-minute intervals while I’m listening to a podcast. While taking long walks or gardening, I don’t want to have to keep taking out my phone to check on the time. Chime does not do this. While the podcast is on, Chime is silent. (And its minimum is 15 minutes. And the 30 minute and 15 minute chimes are just a sound — the only way to get the actual time spoken is if you select the longest, 1-hour, option.) And as others have noted, the links to support and developer website just go to an empty page. Oh well.
