Worth the investment

Great variety of voices, and love that the app is very customizable. It’s so much easier to listen to the news while going about my day than setting aside time to read.

Love it for what it is but still problems

Love this and it does a great job I use it to read books online that aren’t lucky enough to have an audio version.

The problems I have is that if it reads Tim’s it reads it as tim(aphas)(afes) and drops the plural and pronounces that weird aphes word it also reads “ as and(not end reads it as and) quote. So there are punctuation things that drive me crazy. And honesty it was doing this before but it always has issues with punctuation maybe this story has a lot of punctuation and plurals tbh at others haven’t had.

I use it I like it it gets 4 stars cause of adds and punctuation issues. The adds are infuriating to me but it is what it is.

Thanks for your feedback. The punctuation issue should be fixed. Please give it another look

💚People are NUTS to pay monthly

💚People are NUTS to pay monthly what should be a one time payment. Don’t be a subscription model sucker.

Great for Fanfiction!

I use this app to listen to fanfiction. I absolutely love it :-) I have the version with only one voice.

Want to cancel during trial and can’t find how to

At this point, I am extremely disappointed and wish I had not signed up for the trial period. I can’t get the system to read the PDF file I have without restarting from the beginning every few minutes. I’ve written for help and gotten no response. So I looked for the place to cancel the trial and can’t find one. I suspect this might be a good product if I could get some help, but right now it feels like a total rip off.

Response from developer

Hello. I didn’t see any emails from you. You can reach us at contact@weboutloud.io. I’d be happy to help. If you didn’t get a response it probably means I never got the email. Subscriptions are through Apple. See here for instructions on how to cancel https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039

Full of bugs

The app contains several bugs. Here are some examples:
* Unable to add new documents to my collection
* Speach stopped working

subscription required to remove ads

This app spams you with ads every minute, it’s incredibly annoying and makes the app borderline unusable. Then it has the audacity to ask you If I’d like to spend money on the app and not even own it. What is wrong with people trying to make a quick buck with subscription services? I have used many similar tts apps in the past, this may be the worst one I’ve used so far, Impressive.

Good app

Nice app but good deals and it’s good if you just want to text or do something on your phone and don’t like to read just listening to something

Great app but has issues

Love this app some pdf files will not open, or take to long to open.

Brilliant App

This app provides an efficient and user friendly way of reading webpages and PDFs. The built-in web browser is easy to navigate and use, and the ability to save articles and documents into a playlist makes this app a convenient reading tool. Furthermore, features such as Touch Assist and Reader Mode enable the user to specify the content that they would like to be read aloud and skip extraneous content such as advertisements on webpages. The app is also fully accessible with the VoiceOver screen reader on iOS, meaning that it will work well for blind users. The app is constantly improving, and the developer responds promptly to feedback and suggestions. I would highly recommend this app and I look forward to finding out how it continues to develop in the future.
