Useful, but missing critical functionality

For ebooks, i was shocked that data tables and code in a <pre> tags r silently stripped out, and cant b read with the app. This is also not mentioned anywhere in the manual. Supporting this properly would enable reading of technical content. This is great for audio, though the lack of m4b support is inconvenient, as it is widely used in Apples ecosystem.

“Keep going to next document” broke

Broke in latest version. And always get stuck if the next document is barfed. It should really just proceed to the next available document

It is a perfect App

This app really works as it is advertised. Perfectly reading in few language I tried. I highly recommend to everybody. Only part I wish it was a little cheaper as everybody can afford easily. But of course, they deserve the money I have paid. Thanks

Cannot buy voices at all

I am using the older version of the app on my ipod 4th gen running iOS 6. All voices are UNAVAILABLE for purchase. Please do not purchase this app unless you have the newer devices. However, I fear very much that as this app updates over time, your devices that can use the app properly now, would not be able to do so in the future.

Chinese Language

Voice Dream Chinese pronunciation has problem pronouncing many Chinese words. It just skip those words and the whole sentence does not make sense. Need to fix the apps.

Not bad

Hi,is it possible to add different colors for highlighting. Thanks

best App!

thanks and keep it up.

Perfect TTS apps

Voice dream need to improve on the Web Browser option. The web browser should allow to open more tabs that user can navigate websites easily. :)

Best thing after ebooks

This is now my favourite and most-used app, especially while on public commute. Great for long articles and ebooks (ePub format only), this app lets you continue "reading" without having to keep your eyes on the iPhone all the time - which means you can check if the bus is arriving, navigate your way through crowds at the mrt station, window-shop all without having to stop "reading". Because of this, I have been able to complete a lot more reading in shorter amounts of time. The app has good quality voices which can be easily understood, and has features like reading-speed control, highlighting and bookmarking. Although rare, some words are mispronounced, but this is a minor problem as I'm able to understand most of the words. The interface is not perfect now, but it is perfectly straightforward and simple to use as it is. 4 stars for the app + 1 star for excellent support.
