not updated since 2012..(12 yrs) was a really good & useful app, once upon a time l. I even paid money for it. However shameless developer just deserted it, maybe didn't get him enough dough.. its not compatible with latest Android versions. GPay should do a sweep of old incompatible apps & purge them . They are both a Security & stability hazard. I was constantly getting System UI hanging on Note 9 (Android 10), Removing it solved the niggling issue..

It is a good app.. But it is sort of clunky. I think reading the time every minute is fine, but so is say being able to choose every 1/4, 1/2 and full hour.... or increments. And being able to vary to speed, pitch and gender of the speaker is a good feature.
