I was trying to find an app to use on my TD Pilot to read my packets for my certification training. I have Claro Read SE on my I16, so I wanted something similar. Love the app already.

Been using the free version and paid version of this program the last three months of this term as a student in a healthcare program - I upgraded to the paid version hoping for better stability (free version kept freezing entirely and have to restart program), settings, and voice options but really I have not noticed any great value and regret spending the money. It doesn’t freeze up at least. You also get a few more voice options of which still don’t sound that great (Tessa English (South Africa) has been the best so far and is one of the free voices). It also seems that I can adjust the readback speed in the paid version while in the free version when you adjust the speed it just goes back to where it was originally. Having a slider is really frustrating when trying to make slight adjustments. Having a feature to type exactly how many words per minute I want as well would be a great addition! - I’ve selected some of the pay for voices and getting to listen to them more than just for a short sentence I’m realizing I don’t like them but have not figured out how to return them so I can maybe select some thing else. - There’s no pause feature. Only start and stop. So if it stops you have to try and figure out where you left off last. - The reader will stop if you tilt your phone and the screen orientation changes. So you have to lock orientation. If you open up any other page or even the settings screen to lock orientation on an iPhone it will stop. Enabling “read in background” setting helps but it still is finicky. - There are two features both labeled as “speak on tap” under controls. I’m guessing the second one is supposed to be stop on tap and disabled it because it was obnoxious that anytime you even accidentally touched the screen it’ll stop and you have to find your spot again. - It stalls out. Even the paid version will just stop reading without reason. Of course, then you have look at your phone to try and figure out where you were which is not easy. - Trying to get the reader to start where you want on tap can be frustrating. Sometimes I have to tap a spot a few times before it’ll get the idea. In the meantime, either nothing will happen or it’ll start trying to highlight an area instead. - Sometimes it will get mixed up in what it’s reading and sound like gibberish or skip around if there is a graphic in the PDF. I have to stop it and skip ahead past the part it can’t comprehend. - When reading with highlight so you can follow alon

This app is one of my favorite apps. However, it always opens in the screen where I have to choose a file from Files rather than to the normal view where I already have documents open from the previous times I’ve used the app. When it opens to Files when launching the app, I have to either find the document again from one of my file sources or open some random file just to get to already open documents. Please fix so that it opens to the last document that was opened, and if I want to open a new document, then make the user need to click on the Open Document icon.

The app is stuck Majority of downloads will not open. I can’t access settings. It goes to a black screen . The downloads that do open do not play. It was working fine. I upgraded to iPhone 11 Mac Pro and it worked for a short while.

The app no longer works. You can take pictures or convert to a PDF. You can only view what was previously downloaded before, nothing new. 😩

Not sure what’s going on but the app is crashing again

Love the app... when it is working well. Currently since ios12 release the app is unusable due to crashes.

I have been using Claro PDF for several years to read through documents and texts. It is a great tool to help in your studies since you can listen and read at the same time. A major annoyance in the latest version is a big color circle that pops up on every page and will not allow you to start at any sentence on the page. I have gone through all the settings, but their seems to be no way to fix it. It is very nice to be able to pause and start from wherever you want on the screen. With this glitch, you have to start at the top of the screen every time you stop reading or pause. Please fix this glitch!

I really use to love, love, love this app because of it's capabilities but it has been so glitchy for the past couple of months that I loath it. Every time I try to edit a document or use notations it kicks me out of the app. This is incredibly frustrating considering that I bought the app for educational purposes and I can't even use it. Also, being that this is an app you have to purchase, you shouldn't have to buy credits to import a document or book and save it as a PDF and/or use OCR...after all, it is a PDF viewer/editor/audible reader. Why the hell did I pay for a PDF viewer/editor/audible reader app that I have to make further purchases to further utilize? Clearly it is about making more profit but for this app it makes no sense as that is what we paid for to begin with. If you want more revenue, charge more for the app. I paid nearly $10 for your bundle (the other app I find useless) so I should be able to get some use out of the thing. Also, there should be some kind of backup system or iCloud sync that allows a user to use the content in their app from either device. This app has some great features and great potential but the glitches and the paid credits for "conversion" make it not so great.

So far great on iPad. Any upgrade to make horizontal mode on iPhone possible?
