### 1/5 — Only reads the beginning of the page

*2025-12-12, version 2.0.1*

This app is a scam only reads the beginning of the Wikipedia page the. Stops and I paid for it

### 1/5 — Vorsicht - Funktioniert nicht!

*2025-12-07, version 2.0.1*

Das grenzt praktisch schon an Betrug. Die App liest nur den ersten "ausgeklappten" Absatz eines Wikipedia-Eintrags. Es gibt offensichtlich keinen Weg, sie dazu zu bringen, einen Artikel vollständig zu lösen. So etwas sollte überhaupt nicht im Appstore gelistet werden.

### 5/5 — uygulama ile ilgili görüşüm

*2025-09-02, version 2.0.1*

Merhaba sayın geliştirici ben uygulamanızı görme engelli bir kullanıcı olarak iPhone telefonumda VoiceOver ekran okuyucusuyla kullanmaktayım, uygulamanız güzel bir uygulama, Sesli tanıma özelliği çok sağlıklı çalışmıyor bunu kısa zamanda düzeltirseniz çok sevinirim iyi çalışmalar dilerim.

### 1/5 — Gut dass ich nicht gleich ein Abo gemacht habe….

*2025-03-20, version 2.0.1*

Es werden gesprochene Texte nicht so erkannt wie sie ausgesprochen werden und dann werden Inhalte angezeigt die in keinem Zusammenhang mit der Fragestellung stehen. 

Schade :(

### 2/5 — MUY INCOMPLETA

*2023-07-22, version 1.4.2*

Por qué no se puede  oir un artículo completo ? No lo entiendo. La aplicaión se desvaloriza mucho.

### 5/5 — I have bought your audio Wikipedia and now I have bought the separation for five year one year

*2022-07-09, version 1.4.2*

By mistake I delete your app call audio Wikipedia and is asking me to buy again your subtraction but I have bought from one year year subtraction what to do

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2022-05-21, version 1.4.2*

It only reads the first portion of the Wikipedia article. Be nice to have a less robotic voice without paying $75/year!

### 5/5 — A god send

*2022-05-03, version 1.4.2*

It speaks for its self.

### 5/5 — Impresionante

*2022-04-05, version 1.4.2*

No solo la voz, poco robótica, sino también por buscar artículos de la wikipedia geolocalizados cerca de tu ubicación

### 5/5 — Excellente appli!

*2021-12-21, version 1.4.2*

Très utile.
