Major issue, please look into!
I have been using this app for years daily and I absolutely love it!!! But just recently it started adding 'â€' to the end of certain words?? I tried to find a pattern to it, but the only one I can find is that it usually follows an ending quotation mark (”), but not always? Please look into this! It is very distracting and removes the immersion to suddenly hear ‘circumflex eur’ randomly. (This is occurring when I paste text into the ‘Read the clipboard’ option and has never occurred before now, so I know there is nothing wrong with the text I’m pasting in.) Once this hopefully gets fixed, I’ll change my review back to five stars!~
[Edit: I just realised that this occurred right after my iPhone updated to IOS 17.4.1, so I think that may be part of it! I hope this helps you narrow down the issue!]
Yes
This is great awsone cool
Works great! Bookmarks would be helpful
I like it so far. It would feel safer to use if a line could be bookmarked to resume playback from - since epubs don't really display the current page number
ITS FREE
I’m dyslexic, and I’ve always loved listening to books, and I can finally listen to the books. I have IRL for free because I have this app for sure I would definitely recommend
Subscription
It keeps saying I used up my free time and to buy it but I have been paying every month can this get resolved there’s no one to call or ask about this and the website doesn’t work but I have a subscription and it’s acting like I don’t
Needs some work
I have the “pro” version of this app, which I paid $8.99 for. That is supposed to come with “background playback” which has been inconsistently available to me. Often, the audio will stop if my phone screen turns off or I switch apps, which makes this app essentially unusable.
It’s also frustrating that there’s no way to bookmark audio. The app is constantly losing my place in multichapter EPUB files and I have to browse for a while to figure out where I left off.
The standard (non-premium) voices are more robotic than many other free voices available on other apps. If the developers improved these voices or even offered a non-subscription premium voice to buy for a reasonable cost, I’d raise my review.
I’d appreciate if there were more settings available for voices, such as pitch and sentence pause. I’d like more customization to make the voices more lifelike, if they can’t be improved globally.
If I hadn’t paid for the Pro version, I’d be pleased enough with the quality of this as a free app. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for some updates that improve its features.
I like it
I like it because now I don’t have to read all my homework and it can just read it to me by the way I’m just 10 years old bye
Horrible
Would not read my book I purchased. Waste of time
Perfect for my intended purpose
This app is just perfect for my intended purpose of reading out the clipboard. As a retired asst prof and preacher, I continue to learn by cutting / pasting excerpts from books I read. My learning and retention are greatly enhanced by this app. So many thanks to the company and developers. God bless you all.
Randomly starts spelling out words
I thought this was a good solution for me being able to listen to long pdfs while doing housework or driving but it randomly begins spelling out whole paragraphs which is hella annoying. I can’t figure out what triggers it to do this. It’s also hard to get it to change voices for some reason.
