Background time telling app.

CLOCK talks in human sentences: spoken US, UK, AUE English, Czech, Hungarian. It also chimes, cuckoos.
Each hour or "almost" hour can be set up differenty.

The fellow app CLOCK2 talks Chinese, Spanish, Arabic.

Tells me: ‘It is almost five o’clock in the afternoon or ‘It is now five o’clock in the afternoon. No touch or acknowledgement is necessary. The messages will come from the background.

2 distinct features:

1. Background Clock. Can be run all the time in the background. Almost no measurable drain of battery power.
According to some of our users this is the best talking clock available for iOS.

Talks to you from the background while you are using other apps (while listening to music, browsing the web, watching videos,...). Does not need or use any network connections.

Voiceover included.

Some examples for a 5 oclock alert (well, you have to imagine the different accents):

Any of these can be selected fro each hour or ALMOST hour.

Binary voice time telling:
- Talking Binary Clock - listen to the exact time in silent environments, beeps in a nice and not annoying tone. (something like HIGH,LOW,HIGH - at 5PM - because 1*4+0*2+1*1=5)

Other time signals:
