Hello,
nice app! I installed it on HTC Kaiser, WM6,1.
Schedule function does not work. The scheduled time will always be set on next day. Is it a problem on this platform or is there a bug?

Hello,

Nice app! I have installed it on my HTC TP2 (WM6.1) but the schedule function does not work!The chime goes on beyond the schedule or does not start at the scheduled if restarted.

The log produced by the registry check version of TalkingClock has these entries:

Status = 1
intro = 1
Schedule = 1
Start = 8.4.10 10:00:00 AM
End = 8.4.10 12:00:00 AM
Interval = 60
Chime = 14.10.10 9:00:00 AM

Yours truly,
