Recent update broke some things
Before my audio could go for a good few hours without any issue. But with this recent update my audio just keeps pausing every few paragraphs!! And an error pops up at the top of the screen saying something like error audio could not load or along those lines..not sure what happened but I hope it gets fixed soon.Show lessJoZarem
Broken
The latest version will not make it passed the voice selection screen. Please fix, I love this app! I downloaded the app again. This time I made it passed selecting a voice. Then I loaded a document, and it only reads a paragraph, then stops. Or it only reads a random amount of words, then stops. Also, there are no apparent options for highlighting spoken words. Please fix!!!Show lessIRobV2.0
Love this app! Not a fan of the new speed selector.
This is the best reader app ever bar none. I absolutely love this app. That said, I’m not loving the new speed selection slider. Please bring back some tap based speed selection, make it more granular or add up and down buttons if you have to. But please bring back a tap speed selection and ideally make it persist across sessions and books, please. Otherwise very nearly the perfect reader app. ❤️Show lessDADGBE
An overall great app with quality voices but…
I absolutely love this app. There are no hidden fees, no ads, and no microtransactions, which is a refreshing change. The voices are also high-quality, as you’d expect from 11 Labs. However, a few minor issues prevent me from giving it a full five-star rating.
One issue I’ve encountered is that when I try to quickly switch from one document to another while it’s reading, the app sometimes reverts back to the previous document mid-reading, which can be frustrating. Another problem is that the app tends to crash frequently. Recently, I’ve noticed it crashing even more often, though I’m unsure if it’s due to the number of documents I have or because of the version of iOS 18 I’m currently running.
Despite these problems, which I believe can be fixed, the app has a lot of potential. I would love to see future updates that allow for sharing and saving readings, as well as a more straightforward way to clear the history. I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.
Overall, this app is great, and I genuinely enjoy using it when it works properly. I hope the developers can address these minor issues soon, and once they do, I will happily update my review to five stars.Show lessScotiaGirl26
I suffer with it because the voice qualities is so high
I have dyslexia, and use text to speech constantly. I’m used to what standard OS voices sound like and did fine until I used this app. The quality of the voice is so high, that I suffer along with using the app. It fails constantly. Stops in the middle of a text. Takes five minutes to load something that I’ve been reading. or never loads it and I put the content in another reader so I can continue. Or loses its place and I have to locate where I last was. But I keep coming back because of the voice quality. I so wish the app was up to the quality of the voices.
I provide assistive technology service to school districts. I’ve determined that I cannot recommend this app for students because it’s too inconsistent. They may spend as much time waiting for something to load, as they have to read it.
Please, please, please put the time into the app like you have into developing the voices. Then this will be incredible.Show lessBalter
Nice, but HAUNTED?!
I wish I was over-exaggerating. The voices sound real which is a plus. But as I continue on my document, there’s times in the audio where the woman’s voice makes weird noises such as screams at the end of a paragraph. I brushed that off but then I ran into a long stretch of audio where there was loud churning (industrial? Mechanical? EERIE!) noises in the background of the audio. All the while, the usually calm and conversational tone of the woman’s voice became rushed, light and breathless, like if you made someone read something when they were scared and tried to hurry along with the dialogue. Her voice even turned into a man’s voice for a sentence. It’s literally the stuff you see in horror movies. Other than that, there is more buffering the further you get along. But the haunted voice creeps me out and is probably the main problem. It’s not even October yet 💀🙃. Other than that, the app is nice.Show lessEternalJoy144
Best reader ever!!! Still needs some features
The reader is the best I’ve tried. It only lcks what others have:
The name of the uploaded files is odd, a puece of random chars and not even the original name and cannot be changed.
This fix is a must. I’ve uploaded a bunch of files and I don’t lnow which is which.
It also need a search tool for files and an “recently opened” option, as well as search by author, title, subject. And/or the posibility of group them by labels or folders.Show lessAlelasantillan
By far the best I’ve used
I tried speechify. I love it but they have a word limit and as of today I have 18 days until my words renew. I’m so annoyed with it and I paid for it so I went searching for a high quality ai voice program to read my files. The voices are great, the program itself makes the file readable on the phone so you can follow along, change the speed, change the look (light mode, dark mode and contrast) and it’s very easy to use. Best part, right now it’s 100% free with no limits. As much as I love speechify, with the word limit and the hassle of waiting for someone in customer service to answer me to add more words (for the 3rd time in 24 hours) I’m going to unsubscribe as it’s a lot of wasted money for something that this app does just as well with just as amazing of voices.
Thank you so much for something that will allow me to read when I have a medical condition that won’t allow me to read on my own.Show lessLadyBlackBelle
More people should know about this.
I feel like more people should know about this. The voices are perfect, it is exactly like a person reading. I wish the app was able to display images on epubs or pdfs, or allow us to customize the font, its size, maybe to rotate the screen. Nonetheless, it is perfect.Bruno8777
Absolutely unbelievable
This has quickly become one of my favorite apps. For years, I tried their competitors and they were always meh. Today, I am literally catching up on the news tt I never have time to read and it’s been read by Burt Reynolds. .. Who’s been dead for three years now? Talk about living in the future.Farotech
