***iPhone 4 users, new version fixed and enhanced the shake functionality
JamTime gives you the convenience of hearing the current time or time since you started an activity without having to see or dig out your iPhone or iPod! With JamTime all you have to do is shake the device or pause the music with the headphone controls, and it will say the desired time out loud! No more fumbling with unlocking your device or trying to cover up the glare to view the time on a regular stopwatch or the clock. No more risk of dropping your device or other equipment on the concrete or in the snow just to check the time. JamTime is beneficial for all types of activities, everything from jogging, to cycling and even snowboarding!
Pausing the music using the headphone controls pauses the music and desired time is said out loud.
Shake the device and the music will pause, the desired time will be said out loud, and your music will resume automatically! A shake sensitivity setting determines how long you need to shake the device before the desired time plays. This prevents the desired time from being played accidentally.
