Getting better

Endesorcy on

Voice Dream Reader is planning on removing lifetime licensing for users who have previously purchased the product on 5/1. It’s even more important that this app continues to be improved for the influx of users that aren’t willing to pay a yearly subscription on top of their Bookshare subscription, just to read a book. My two big asks/requests: Please add the ability to listen to human narrated audiobooks and ability to “Read Now” on periodicals. Thanks Bookshare Reader dev team! Also: Ability to listen to books in the background. VoiceOver gestures to change pages would also be nice.

Background Play

hotrodnix on

This app is much better than it was at launch, but it still lacks a feature I think a lot of people would appreciate. When you play a book and leave the app by either returning to your home screen or locking the screen, the book stops playing. I would like playback to continue once the screen is locked, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. I believe that's one of the reasons people are so hesitant to switch to it fulltime.

Awesome App

Got tired of fighting with my Brl tab. The mobile app is way easier. I love listening to books on here. Thank you.

Clunky and Disappointing

Chrystal1278490 on

Trying this app for my son who will be eight and is unable to read. The app is clunky. I’m trying to figure out if not all picture books populate in the app with pictures. After downloading the apps, I’m unable to play videos from other sources. I’m not sure what value if this will bring to my son unless the user experience is improved. I’ll update the review if the app experience improves.

Making my downloaded books tab the new default when opening the app

jaredlg36670 on

Hello again, my friends hope that everyone’s doing back to suggest any major in improvement or the next big update even though this one’s small and felt like it was not as the title suggest I would like for my downloaded book when opening the app, the recent books because it shows the books, I read and deleted To make space but I know that you guys are continuously working to make the app better so no rush. This is just a suggestion on my part and thank you for everything as usual. Hope to hear from you soon.

Form controls nonexistent

Amy 1000 on

Grateful that I have VoiceDream reader so I can easily get books from Bookshare and read them with my voiceover voice because I just downloaded this app so I could read an audio book. I cannot even login as a voiceover user with an iPhone 11 and iOS 17.1.2. For being a company who caters to visually impaired people I would expect your app to have correct coding for Text fields. Usually I can double tap on the Text field and then type or paste my username and password. I have tried turning screen recognition on which can sometimes help, but the edit option is not even Offered when I spin my rotor. This tells me that the app is not coded correctly for form controls. Very disappointed!

app needs function

Blindfromthebeginning on

now impossible to delete searched titles from library even if book is one that won't be downloaded because details for book are not what is wanted.

Great App

Queenofthefaeries on

Great app for reading bookshare books. I really enjoy the reading style and it’s very easy to both read and listen to audio. Although, I wish there was a where am I feature, so I can know where I am in a book, either in pages or percentage. Other than that, love the app.
