Provenio Software Corporation

Update: It only took Provenio seven weeks to respond to my latest complaint!!! The fix they provided worked — for two weeks. Then, once again, the capability to read notifications once again was gone (the voices disappeared from the listing and could not be added back).
To make matters worse, the original problem has also returned. More often than not, when rebooting after a Windows update, all of your newly established notifications disappear and old ones you’ve long ago deleted are back and current.
Then, today, the final straw. Say The Time totally refused to work, giving an error message that the system clock had been changed and it will not work until the clock is reset. Well, guess what. The system clock is absolutely fine. Say The Time is what is broken.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAPPY SOFTWARE. IT IS MORE WORK BUT YOU CAN DO ALMOST THE SAME THING YOURSELF WITH WINDOWS SCHEDULER.

Joy Dixon’s post gets it right: Say the Time is a useful application, but it is backed by some of the worst tech «support» you’ll ever experience — the worst support I’ve experienced in 25 years as a computer user. And make no mistake, you will need support at some point, since installations do not always go smoothly.
And there is this: On a reinstall, or when you move to a new computer, you will probably have to cough up another $ 30 if the app is out of date, since the company does not make prior versions available for downloading. (That’s a lot of bucks for a clock/​calendar that MSFT could easily have incorporated in the Windows tray but didn’t.)
And don’t think that when Provenio fails to respond to your increasingly desperate emails that you can simply call them on the phone for support. In fact, no one ever picks up at the phone number the company lists for itself, nor can you leave a message. Ditto for the Silicon Valley number that Provenio lists (a particularly hard number to find, by the way). And if you should succeed in getting their tech support person, Amy, to reply to you, do NOT reply with another query, since you may never hear from her again; or at best she will take her three or four months to respond with her usual, canned advice: «Download the program again and reinstall it».
To sum up: Good product, world-​class-​abusive support. You should shop around for an alternative, of which there are many, including free reminder apps such as the one Firefox offers.
