  • Updates keep ruining the app

    One of the best apps when it was launched, but now it's full of bugs and errors to the extent that my files don't show. I keep getting "Error syncing: Legacy read errored while uploading." I have no idea what's happened, as everything was working well before 😞
  • Broken after update

    The app was working great just a few days ago.. then they updated everything.. and now it constantly stops mid sentence.. waiting as if it were loading…. And it will just sit there loading.. forever loading….
    I hate when they do a full overhaul on any app.. too many ways to induce problems
  • The most natural sounding reader!

    Unbelievably good and keeps getting better! I originally gave 4 stars but they improved it and then some so I changed to 5 stars. Don’t believe the bad reviews, I suspect they are from jealous competitors who have been blown out of the water. This is the best test to speech reader by far! It is much better than speechify and VoiceDream or even NaturalReader. The voice Brian is especially great. It’s actually better than many audible audiobooks. I forget that it’s not a human. Sadly in comparison my old favorite TTS app Voice Dream now sounds like a robot. I hope they add a repeat function to play the audio over and over. The only thing I don’t like is the bright white play/pause button in dark mode. It’s too bright, so I just listen to the audio with the screen off rather than read along. If you gave less than five stars you may want to try the app again and post a new review because they keep updating it and have fixed all the issues I could find. For example in dark mode the play/pause button was too bright but they fixed that.

  • Wanted to love this…

    I’ve heard a lot of creators use eleven labs for video editing. It seemed easy enough to use. However, every time I try to play text to speech, the app crashes. I’ve updated, deleted and reinstalled, but to no avail. This is on both my iPad and iPhone. I’m moving on to something more reliable.

  • My problem

    I don’t know what the problem is for this app or my phone but every time I try to play the audio it kicks me out the app I have powered off my phone to see if the problems fixes I doesn’t and I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and still doesn’t work so that’s why I’m leaving it as a 1 star cause I have not been able to even use the app to its potential.

  • Crashes

    First time user. App crashes as soon as I hit the play button to listen to text.

    iPhone 13 Pro MAX iOS 17.5.1
    Troubleshooting:
    - Deleted and Reinstalled App
    - Hard restarted iPhone multiple times
    - All other apps of similar AI function work
    - Researched Google, Reddit, and Eleven Labs website for an answer but nothing.

    Not sure if it’s an isolated issue or something but I can’t even get the app to work on my daughters iPad.
