You bought iPhone to increase your productivity? But, think about what you are doing! You get up in the morning, check weather, mail, stock price, schedule of the day, stock prices, and maybe some news of your interest and maybe check twitter and facebook... Jumping from app to app wasting your time! Well, we know you do this again when you start your day at work, lunch break and on the way home... Don't you?

How can we stay on top of all those information without spending time? How can we use our incredible iPhone the right way?
How about hiring someone to read them one by one while you are driving, eating, or brushing your teeth?

Voice brief reads them all with clear voice, lets you fully customize the content from your email, weather, calendar, gmail, news feeds, stock price, twitter and facebook...
Touch of one button, or with built in Alarm, Voice Brief collects all these information and pleasantly read them while you are driving, eating, etc... You will feel like you were Tony Stark, or have your own Hal9000 (it doesn't kill you though).

Interface is just like music player you don't have to learn how to use, works with remote, airplay, blue tooth. Quality? See how many stars we got from user review.

Customer Reviews

Great update! (5 stars)
I have been using this app for a long time now and I'd say not being able to have entire news articles read back to me was my only real problem with the app. It has been addressed and I couldn't be happier!

One thing I'd like to see in the future would be the ability to create custom news casts for different times of the day. That way I could have a brief in the morning, afternoon, and night.

Great app and well worth a tr

Good app with some minor issues (4 stars)
This is a very good app for playing in the car while driving. It can read weather, news, Facebook feed, and several other items. The voices are synthesized, but very good for synthesized voices, particularly the American male voice. However, there are a bunch of small things that shouldn't be too difficult to fix that would make this application much much better, and that right now sort of stand out as big annoyances.

Contraction

Twitter #fail (1 star)
Will not connect to Twitter even after disabling https. Deleted app.
