Ok app

carter074539 on

United States

Works add are annoying and I don’t want to pay

Requesting adblock!

Adelais Desu on

United States

This is my go-to reader in the few occasions I need a reader to read directly from the browser as exporting the page doesnt work for whatever non-related reason. I would LOVE for an option for a built in adblock in the browser 🫠 i’m not talking about the “no ads” that are forced onto you by the app - i bought the no ad plan - i’m talking about the browser ads placed by websites. 😩 i know there is reader mode that will get ride of the appearance of ads, but there are a handful of websites that reader mode is not very compatible with and the text gets skipped sometimes.

Great for Fanfiction!

SunPho3n1x on

United States

I use this app to listen to fanfiction. I absolutely love it :-) I have the version with only one voice. It is easy to use and prevents me from having to get multiple apps to listed to my various fanfiction sites.

instead of going to the same attention Saved Content it create an unwanted folder

Treyking17 on

United States

OK, if this is what the update it’s unnecessary fixing problems I cannot understand but adding a folder for a new content I just confuses me even more having to go back-and-forth between each one if it’s possible could you fix that? I feel like I shouldn’t have to do unnecessary work just to save content.

Constant freezing

Coco Thunder on

United States

This app is amazing and I pretty much use it daily. My extreme frustration is with the fact that it freezes constantly at the start of use. I must close the app out 7-8 times before I can even start listening. I find this outrageous when I have written to the developer about this before and have a $120/ year paid subscription. I’ve written to the developer a second time and do hope they rectify the issue so I don’t have to unsubscribe. It is otherwise a REALLY lovely app.

Is useful

jeeeeggge on

I love it’s features and usefulness to read

Best reading app for web novels!

trinh318 on

United States

I use it to convert text to speech using voices on the iPhone. I prefer the free version over the premium version. When using the premium version, the phone gets hot because it does a lot of processing.

(Fixed!!) Getting Ads Despite Subscription and Other Issues

mk burgers on

United States

Update: The issues with the ads and login have been resolved, no more problems there. Just the random lagging or stopping still occurs fairly often. Thank u for all your hard work! —— I’m paying for the annual basic subscription for no ads, however it has suddenly started giving me ads even though I have 2 months left. Don’t like that there is no place within the app itself to review my subscription status/features, except for when an ad appears, there should be a dedicated option in the main menu where I can do this. Also reporting a problem through the app requires logging in, but trying to log in causes an error. Also frequently having issues where the reader will just randomly stop reading.

Okay app but very expensive

Ghosty2929 on

United States

Pretty okay app Let’s you listen to websites, online books, etc plus the voices are nice Problem is that it’s very expensive considering that you are paying a weekly subscription of $10 yet it only has a limit off 1 million words a month and charges you $40 to buy a million more or the app stops working even though you are paying $10 a week. So it charges you $10 a week but if you listen to a book that’s 1 million words in one week the app will stop working for the rest off the month unless you pay another $40 to buy another million words, however it still keeps charging you a weekly subscription.

Better than Speechify for my needs as a language learner

Femi Ige on

United States

My problem with speechify is that I couldn’t look up words I didn’t know due to the way speechify imports it’s text. The extension for this app fixes that. As a Japanese learner. I can seamlessly use my pop up dictionary extension in combination with text to speech. And it’s frank the best experience ever.
