Couldn’t understand how to use it
Not clear how it works and I am very impatient. Not patient enough to do too much figuring things out. It either works straight away or I unsubscribe and delete.

Voice Dream Reviews
Awesome app
I bought this as I spend a lot of time on the road and I use it for catching up with newsletters and order documents such as PDFs. It’s great
Great app but dissapointed
It feels as though the way to solve problems is to remove features. As a user which prefers control over most things, I have no way to organise my folders, I want to be able to see folders like I see books, instead I get to see a list from a menu to get to folders. Moving things around sounds confusing since there is a display all which makes it very messy if you got different collections of books mixed toghether. I got the early versions which included a browser, that made this app really great back then when you could see download process of a book, now you got to use some external downloading app then import it, the alternative they replaced that with sounds like someone was too lazy to code, Exact url and name which to be saved ?! What if you want to download as is? (The name) No instructions on that whatsoever. I think you guys not only made it hell for the user experience but also pull lots of money from the user at least listen to some suggestions on features. Thank you.
Not working & no support
This app works part time and the support is "go make it work yourself!"
Excellent "Text to speech" app
I have been using this app for a few weeks and find it excellent. Connects to Google drive to download your DRM free ebooks, pdfs or text files. It has allowed me to get through the books I wanted to read while drive to work and home. Comes with female voice and additional voices can be bought.
Don't buy their extra "premium" voices
This app gives very good English reading experience. But when reading foreign language their "premium" voices suck. I've bought two Russian "premium" voices and they sound like foreigners reading them with very bad accent and pronunciation. It's terrible and hard to listen. ( by the way the sample provided to test a sound wasn't bad!) I deleted them and reversed to build in IOS voice which is free and much better. This is rip off!
Battery killer
It is a good app, but, unfortunately, it's killing iPhone's battery and it makes it almost useless outside, with no charger access. 2h of use and 25% of battery is gone. It shouldn't happen in such an expensive app. Until fixed - 1 star only.
Excellent app
Excellent app. Constantly updated, excellent value.
Delighted
In my job I have to do a lot of reading. I've been using voiceover to read my documents but with quite a bit of frustration. So I'm delighted to find an app that reads my documents but allows me to rewind, pause and take a call without hassle. I can also keep my screen locked which saves battery. Voice dream can read most types of documents including Word documents, PDF documents, webpages, and ordinary text files. It's been a real boost to my productivity.
Best app in store
all the applications available for text to speech don't offer the same features that voice dream reader can provide. It really helps improving the speed reading by combining TTS with word highlighting. Istrongly reccomend it.
