Other than that.. it’s a great app. ### 3/5 — Buffering when reading kindle *2025-11-09* Is there a way to have it continuously read without buffering. I was so excited since Alexa only shows a black screen when opening the kindle library. But this only reads a paragraph or two.. buffers and stops. And I can listen to it read in different voices if I wanted. Please make this better. ### 5/5 — Inclusive experience *2025-10-04, version 1.8.4* I'll be forever grateful to whoever developed this app. Whether you have visual impairments or just prefer listening, it delivers a high-quality experience that’s inclusive and thoughtful. ### 5/5 — Excellent audio *2025-10-03* I never thought I’d enjoy listening to books this much! The voice quality is excellent, and being able to jump between Kindle and the app makes reading more flexible than ever. ### 5/5 — S c a m...Here's a big tip. Use iOS Spoken Text--here's why... *2025-08-03* Why 5 stars? Because I am hoping more people will see this review and find it helpful. I've included a full app review plus a solution. I had high hopes because I am a huge reader and I listen to audiobooks at work all day, but wish I could listen to the books I am reading on my Kindle at night. I did some research and found that this app synced with Kindle and I was very excited. But... Problem #1: it continues to reread the same page over and over. If I'm listening to a book, I obviously don't have the time or capability (in my situation - since I'm either working, driving, cooking or doing housework) to turn pages every few seconds. Problem # 2: There is absolutely zero inflection in the voice. So while the voice does sound more "natural" than some, when I'm listening to a book, there has to be inflection, especially when it's a question or exclamation etc. Here's the kicker! I also bring to you a completely F R E E solution that solves these problems and can read absolutely anything. There is customization in how fast, so many voices and then you can even alter the voices from there, control the speed at which they talk etc. Also, it is always available with just a swipe on your screen. What is it you ask? Spoken Content - Screen Voiceover on iOS which comes built in already. All you have to do is enable it and customize. You're welcome. Sorry Devs. You can do better and I was absolutely willing to pay the $9 plus tax until it didn't work then I found a better solution and didn't want other people to be scammed too. ### 5/5 — French literature aid *2025-06-29, version 1.8.1* I'm learning French and this app helps tremendously! I scan French literature and hear perfect pronunciation while reading along. It even lets me slow down the most difficult passages. ### 5/5 — Best dyslexia aid *2025-06-29, version 1.8.1* As someone with severe dyslexia, reading has always been a problem. This app lets me scan textbook pages and have them read aloud clearly. It's the best thing I have used in ages! ### 5/5 — Multitasking reading aid *2025-06-28, version 1.8.1* This is genius! I'm a busy mom who never has time to sit and read. Now I listen to articles while cooking dinner and have books read aloud during my morning jog. ### 5/5 — Busy student essential *2025-06-27, version 1.8.1* This app is great for keeping up with a busy schedule or just boosting your productivity. For the first time in college, I can keep up with required readings without getting headaches. ### 5/5 — Subway reading boost *2025-06-26, version 1.8.1* This app has transformed my 45-minute subway rides into productive reading time. The text-to-speech quality is so natural that it sounds like a human narrator! ### 5/5 — Long reads helper *2025-06-25, version 1.8.1* The web link reader is genius. I paste links from news sites or research blogs and the app reads them aloud perfectly. It’s like having a personal narrator for those long reads. ### 5/5 — French literature aid *2025-06-22, version 1.8.1* I'm learning French and this app helps tremendously! I scan French literature and hear perfect pronunciation while reading along. It even lets me slow down the most difficult passages. ### 5/5 — Vision-friendly app *2025-06-18, version 1.8.1* After being diagnosed with macular degeneration, I thought I'd have to give up reading.

I photograph textbook pages during lectures, then listen to them while reviewing notes. The app perfectly preserves complex medical diagrams and formatting. ### 5/5 — Eye relief *2025-06-12, version 1.8.1* At 78, small print is impossible for me. My granddaughter installed this app and taught me to scan my books. Now I'm enjoying books again without straining my eyes and the interface is very user-friendly. ### 5/5 — Global audiobook access *2025-06-11, version 1.8.1* As a digital nomad, I can't carry physical books. But thanks to this app I've built an entire audio library from book cafes across the world. The offline mode works great on flights. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2026-06-06* Appli don’t work anymore since yesterday while im a subscriber ### 1/5 — Expensive and glitchy *2026-02-21, version 2.1.1* Tried this for my kindle but it glitches even more than the Alexa app does…and it’s expensive for not doing what it’s supposed to. The voices were nice when it actually worked tho. ### 1/5 — Для любителей реклами *2025-09-26* Прерывается после каждого абзаца ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-06-23* On est obligé de payer pour écouter plus de 2 minute c’est chaud ### 1/5 — Wasting time😑 *2025-05-30, version 1.8.1* No other app is more difficult than this one to use😑 ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-04-30* Terrible. It misses out entire paragraphs. It repeats sentences several times. The intonation is wrong, making it very difficult to follow. I couldn't find a choice of voices, the only option is the default female strong American accented one, which is distracting. If there is no choice of voices and/or accents they should've created a neutral one. When it moves to the following page, it starts reading the new one as if it were the beginning of a new paragraph or chapter, regardless of whether the text of the new page is a continuation of a paragraph of the previous page or not. ### 1/5 — Would not function *2025-04-09, version 1.8* I had high hopes since it could connect to Kindle. It would not read the Kindle. I clicked on Contacts us but no response. ### 1/5 — Bug in the App *2025-03-09, version 1.8* I cannot use the app, while I am paying my subscription ### 1/5 — Froze me out *2025-03-01, version 1.7.1* Worked pretty good the first couple of days, then the app froze and wouldn’t even open. Very disappointing, since I really can see its value. ### 1/5 — My review *2025-02-18, version 1.7.1* In the bio it says free reading app then it asked me for 9 dollars to continue change you Mr bio or make it really free. scamming people besides that it’s a good reading platform because I struggle to comprehend long sentences and story’s sow it reading out loud rely helps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kindle Sync *2026-08-13* The Kindle sync feature is fantastic. I can switch between reading and listening without losing my place, which makes it so much easier to get through longer books. ### 5/5 — Natural Voice *2026-07-17* This app makes reading so much easier on long days. The voice sounds natural, and the PDF-to-speech feature works smoothly. I love listening to articles while doing other tasks. ### 5/5 — Accessible Reading *2026-07-05* This app has made reading more accessible and enjoyable for me. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. I appreciate the ability to scan and read printed text on the fly. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-07-01* I love being able to listen to articles and documents while commuting or working out. In that regard, the web link reading feature is fantastic, allowing me to convert online content into audio effortlessly. ### 5/5 — Realistic Voices *2026-06-29* I've bought dozens of Kindle books over the years. This app imported my entire library seamlessly and read them aloud with realistic voices. I didn't have to purchase separate audiobooks for titles I already owned. ### 5/5 — Text-to-Speech *2026-06-25* This app has transformed my reading experience!

This one lets me turn any text into audio (web articles, documents, even printed notes). On top of that, the AI voice is clear and natural. ### 5/5 — File importing *2025-10-06, version 1.8.4* The interface is clean and easy to navigate. Importing files is a breeze, and the formatting stays perfect every time. If this is what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Helpful reading *2025-10-05, version 1.8.4* I'm learning English and this app helps me practice pronunciation and comprehension.
