Speaking clock is a free application. Using the app to give you voice announcements means you do not have to watch the clock to know the current time. The application has a bundle of Vietnamese, English languages, and in subsequent upgrades the developer will add other language packs. We look forward to your support and suggestions!

User Reviews

Overall, users like its simplicity and functionality as a speaking clock, with configurable intervals and hour limits. However, recurring issues include iOS compatibility and reliability after updates, problematic time phrasing (o’clock and AM/PM handling), lack of consistent background operation, and unreliable nighttime scheduling.

Pros

Simple and efficient time announcements that work as advertised.
Configurable intervals of 15/30/60 minutes and optional night-hour restrictions.
Easy to use and highly regarded, often considered the best option among speaking clock apps.
Speaks the time at the programmed intervals, fulfilling the app's core purpose.

Cons

Reliability issues and compatibility problems with newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 17/18) causing the app to stop working.
Time phrasing can be inaccurate or annoying (the 'o’clock' suffix and AM/PM/noon/midnight handling).
Does not reliably run in the background; often requires the app to be open or tapped to speak.
Night-time scheduling is not consistently reliable or behaves unexpectedly.

Recent reviews

States the time as “5pm o’clock” instead of 5 o’clock pm. Also states the time at noon as “12am o’clock” when noon is 12pm.

It works well enough, but it has limitations, no option to shorten the long announcement, there's a question whether the scheduling actually starts and stops at the given time, just wondering if if it's still being developed. The lack of voice options is less important to me anyway.
