Great for books, but crashing a lot.

I've tried most of the app, but when I create a
new audiobook, it just crashes. But I love the other parts of the app.

No!!!

Did not get this game just not work if you want to read a book, we cannot find a book there no books we can make books but no books

Very pleased with this app!

This is simply great!!!

Perfection

This app gives us back the text to speech voice that IOS used to have a couple of updates ago except better. You can read the book or click on any line and it will start reading there. I have no idea why the developers of Apple decided to remove this better text to speech voice from the standard settings but I’m glad to have it back again. The other big app(speechify) only has the new voice iOS voice as free and its very robotic and awkward and reads punctuation out loud so don’t bother with it. This app is the best! And free! Thank you!

I’ve only used it for epubs so far and it was very smooth and easy!

Best way to listen to free audiobooks

This app is free and just as good if not better than the expensive apps like speechify. My only complaint is that sometimes the app will only play if I leave the app open with my screen still on which I think is a glitch. Other than that it’s amazing.

Excelente app, no tuve ninguna dificultad al usarla

Lo útil es que funciona sin internet. Espero que le pongan para escanear pagina y así crear audiolibros.

Phenomenal text-to-speech

Edit: i updated to ios17 and when i turn my phone off, the background play pauses. It’s really annoying since sometimes it pauses and othertimes it’ll continue playing, and I can’t figure out what’s triggering it specifically.

I use it to listen to my epubs and the voices are all standard iPhone AI voices. They work just fine, and you could listen to any amount for free, offline, and off app. I have two stories uploaded, both well over 400k words, and I’ve been a happy listener since. Though, the sizes are so huge the book files are separated into parts. There IS a subscription premium, but that’s only if you want to make an audio file from your files to save somewhere else without any character limits. But you don’t really need it if you plan to listen on your phone. If I could suggest any improvements, they’d be minor like the ability to create folders or different file views as they’re only in list form right now.

Response from developer

Hello! Some users experienced this issue - reinstalling the app solved the problem. Thank you for your feedback.

Cool app, exactly what I was looking for.

Great app. Thanks for developing it!

Request: would be great if we could have an option in Settings that would allow us to have the narrator’s voice skip predefined parts of a text. I’m using this app to have it read lots of texts that have numbered citations and verse numbers and the app reads the texts but it also reads the numbers too because it doesn’t know that I doesn’t need to read them out loud.

Example: rather than reading only the words in a bible verse, it reads the number of the verse too.

Look No Further

Literally go on LibGen, download an epub of whatever, listen to it like an audiobook. Rinse and repeat. Been looking for an app like this. 🤙
