### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2025-05-27*

For not so young people it is a must. It help relieve eye strain by just listening to subject i want to know. Thank you.

### 3/5 — A good start but incomplete

*2023-09-01*

An excellent beginning for the project! I love the way it skips all the titles and links etc and immediately starts with the content! Sadly, aside from reading the table of contents, it is completely unable to open any of those items, so most of the article is not available. 

I realize that this is a change in how Wikipedia works. It’s just sad that the developer hasn’t been able to continue working on it.

With a hands-free interface, and an update, this could have been one of my favourite tools to use when driving!

### 4/5 — Perfect Prototype

*2022-11-21*

German is working now but the chapter toggle is not usable

### 5/5 — Januaryfebruary369

*2022-06-03, version 3.0*

So far I find this to be a great encyclopedia to go to get the complete history for what you’re looking for. The Audio is a great addition. Thanks for making this better than I have previous found.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a encyclopedia.

### 1/5 — 不好用

*2022-04-20*

不好用

### 5/5 — A wonderful little app

*2021-09-07*

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I don’t understand the negative reviews, it works brilliantly for me

### 3/5 — It works

*2021-06-26*

If there were any other apps that did this, I would probably use one. Searching is clunky. It constantly pops up and tells me to use Ava’s voice, even if I already am. The reading is usually understandable, but you have to pay attention because it reads things in weird ways, like the years are read like a regular number. Or sometime it’s reading footnote numbers. All in all it works better than the alternative which is nothing.

### 1/5 — Old layout

*2020-10-01, version 3.0*

Old layout needs updating.

### 1/5 — absolut enttäuschend

*2019-08-28*

Programm beginnt einen deutschen Text im ersten Absatz Deutsch vorzulesen und schaltet im zweiten Absatz auf Englisch, weil es einen englischen Text zu erkennen glaubt; eine Sprachauswahl ist nicht zu finden, und so wird der deutsche Text weiter mit englischer Aussprache parodiert bis zur Unkenntlichkeit

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2019-02-13*

Pretty useless app, I searched for one term and that worked fine, after that it fails to read any article.
