Pretty good - annoying audio
The app works well, its a nice interface, typeface is clear. The audio turns itself on, when I have not opened the app and is annoying. I have tried to shut it down, but can only doing so by turning off my ipad.

The UI is so boring.
And now with dark mode.
I paid but the ad banner is still there. What happened?
This is nothing more than you can find on any one of a dozen free “classic” book apps. I’m reading some Hemingway on the free Gutenberg website, but the PDF formatting can be a bit challenging. So I figured I would find the same here in a more reader friendly format. Wrong. Just the same old Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen that litter the free readers that are rampant in the App Store. Save yourself three bucks and run from this thing as fast as you can.
I use TTS and it works pretty good. The voices actually have some inflection in them so they sound pretty good. Every once in awhile it gets stuck and I get a spoken error message that I think says something like “evaluate the owner of string”. I just turn it off and restart it and go back to page.
Used both the free and the paid versions. For $2.99 you are free from the pop-up. However, if you are unwilling to part with your $2.99, you can continue to use the free version without limit, that was what I did in the past until I finally decided that I deserve to enjoying my reading in peace.
This is a great app that needs a OSX Mac companion app (only thing really missing) that can synced thru iTunes or iCloud. I have read so many good old detective mystery books I think I ran out!!! I am into fiction and drama now, so we will see what surprises await!
Insensitive to touch, difficult to maneuver, highlighted paragraph does not match up with the text being spoken, if the iPad is moved, the night lighting is undone and changed back to normal, author speaks clearly but with little affect and does not intone the dialogue as though people are speaking (also speeding up the audio does not do anything-maybe that's just for tts?) It's very clumsy. I regret buying the app.
