Ratings and reviews

Pretty good talking clock. The previous version had issues with reading some times in a very weird way, which has been fixed. It's still a little awkward in some ways, but not too bad. If this were polished and a few more options for announcement interval added, I think it would be pretty much perfect.

Good that it has a sleep schedule, but the way it reads time is awkward, either too fast or too slow. Maybe add a slider and an option to not say AM/PM. The option to read day and day of the week is nice, but it would be better if you could set the interval for that like once or twice a day.

This app is very easy to set up. Not only does it tell you the time,it also announces the date. It's accurate and so far is proving reliable. Recommended.
