BUZL version 7:
Apple Watch users - we have disabled the Apple Watch companion app, so if you wish to receive voice notifications, you must turn off "mirror iPhone alerts from" in your Apple Watch app on your iPhone. You can reach this option by going into the Notifications section. If you don't turn off mirror alerts for BUZL, your notifications will go to the Apple Watch when your iPhone is locked and your voice recording won't play.
For talking reminders, proceed as usual until you get to the Reminder Settings screen. Select the Voice Alert button, and click New on the Voice Recordings screen. Record a new message and provide a Recording name. It will not save your recording if you leave the Recording name blank. Click Save to add the recording to your list of Voice Recordings. If you have more than one recording present in the list, click the left side of the row to select the voice recording for this task. Your selection will be indicated by a green dot. Now turn on both the Reminder and Voice Alert switches, and click save.
Select a due date by clicking the Due Date button, use the picker to select a date, then click the Due Date button again to finalize the new date. Click Save to exit the screen and save the reminder.
Talking reminders are optional. If you prefer the default sound simply turn off the Voice Alert switch and keep the Reminder switch on.
