I'd like to introduce you all to MorningReport: the iPhone alarm app which speaks to you. We got sick of the beeping and buzzing in regular alarms, so we developed an app with alarms which literally narrate the time and weather in your location. With MorningReport, each alarm will sound like this: "Good Morning. The time is 7 o'clock. The weather outside is 56 degrees, with light showers expected" ItÂ’s information which makes morning preparation faster, ensures you know exactly how long you can keep hitting that snooze button, and lowers the chance that you'll forget the umbrella on a rainy trip to work. Here's a link to our launch trailer, which shows the app in action, and previews the 2 original voices available in our first release: What you can expect: Personalize alarms with a male or female voice Weather information anywhere in the world, updated every 3 hours Weather reports in Fahrenheit or Celsius Elegant, accessible interface Bright, expressive weather icons Customizable snooze settings A Quick-Report button for a spoken report right away MorningReport is available on the app store for $1.99 USD For more information, please visit our website Thanks guys! Questions and comments very very welcome
Shoot...I just bought an alarm app advertised in this section as well a week or two back. But, this one looks like it takes it up a notch. Clean interface, interesting features. It would be cool to have a vid display the varied voices as that could be a deal-breaker if its too mechanical.
Thanks for the feedback guys! ColeDaddy: The voices you hear within the video are exactly what you can expect from the app itself. Avoiding the mechanical sounding voice was a huge priority for this app - The biggest challenge was finding ways to write the script so the voice actors sounded fluent when we swapped sound bytes around Here are youtube vids of the report examples: Male voice: Female voice: I'll see what I can do to film the app on the handset working
Wow. That sounds incredibly fluid and realistic! I'm buying this app after typing the last letter of this sentence! Edit: I have a question after buying the app. I pm'd you. I hope there isn't a problem with app so early but I'd rather discuss this issue privately. It could be nothing, mind you...
ColeDaddy has just pointed out a bug where setting an alarm in his timezone for 5:30AM will save for 2:30PM. I've just reproduced this, and have contacted the team to get this fixed ASAP. In the mean time. I'd appreciate it if people could chime in with their experience. Here are 5 promo codes, valid for 4 weeks. I'm Truly sorry if this has affected you. We'll submit a fix as soon as we possibly can. 43NWWKHAL4XF RY6JRX6HE3M6 LXPPJ63LW73E PXPE36XPLW3X LNEM6EMEXX43 First come first serve
Took code LXPPJ63LW73E. Thank you very much. I was really interested in the app and was going to buy it after putting money in my iTunes account. Finding a free code was quite a nice surprise this morning. I'll put it to the test, and I'll post impressions or write up a review on iTunes. I'll PM you if there's any further issues, and I'll watch out for the fix you mention. Thanks again - this app looks great! Guy
Adam provides excellent customer support. Good luck with the app, Adam! I hope it leads to buku bucks for you and your team.
App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.
Hi guys! We've isolated the problem and will be patching it after a good testing stint. Thanks for your feedback!
Hey guys! We submitted the timezone patch to Apple during the weekend that just passed. Hopefully it'll be approved and in your iPhones within the next day or two! Will post again when we've confirmed it's gone live Cheers, Adam
MorningReport works anywhere in the world. It asks for your location so it can find out where you are. I'm based in Australia, and the speech bubble says 'listen to the report for Melbourne, AU'
So far, this app works flawlessly for me. It gave correct time and weather for every location I was in. Clean and attractive design, too! I'm looking forward to more voices, as well. Great job on the app.
Hmmm...just checked the AppStore for the update. I got two but none of them were for Morning Report. I'll continue to wait.
Patch is live guys! It's JUST gone up so it isn't listed in the updates page on your app store program. Version 1.3 fixes the timezone bug. So if you've been having that, it's totally fixed now. Here's the app store link Thanks for your support guys! We really appreciate it
