Ratings and reviews

I have ADHD, and this app has really helped me handle my time blindness. I keep a Samsung Galaxy Bud in one ear when I'm around other people to not bother the notifications. Phone notifications drive me nuts, so I have those on vibrate. I really appreciate that I can have the apps notification play through the phone's music feature and not notification feature. I also appreciate that I can pick different types of notifications for different parts of the hour.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The TEST works, the app is never killed, yet it's never triggered. If the ads weren't so persistent, I would try to work with the app more, but it's not worth the time and not worth correspondence.Other similar apps work just fine. This one should work also, for being such a primitive concept in the smart phone era. I just don't know how to do it! So I inadvertently depend on someone else....

Update Speaking Timer & Voice Stopwatch Watch app much better app. I installed the app, open the app, and that's all the farther I can get. There is a full page ad and I can't get past the ad to the app. I'm a three decade computer developer. I know how to 'x' out of the ad. After restarting the ad a few times, I finally was able to enter the app. First thing you see is a pop-up informing you that there are full page ads and sometimes it does this and you just need to restart the app. Awful!
