### 1/5 — iOS Syncing Issues

*2025-03-02, version 3.3.11*

I’ve been unable to sync my library with the iOS app for the past three days. The app continuously attempts to load my content but without success. Hoping for a fix soon.

### 2/5 — Kinda dumb

*2024-11-24, version 3.3.9*

Looks great upfront but what they dont tell you is that to take pictures of a text like a book you need to pay money. Bull.

### 4/5 — :(

*2024-08-23*

i love this app so much, i use it religiously everyday, but a few days ago it totally stopped working :( it won’t let me add any form of ebook or article. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling, getting a new account, etc, but nothing’s working. i hope it’s just a problem on my end i can resolve, but it’s really bringing me down.

also, whenever i tried to purchase the premium plan, it wouldn’t load fully. i’m not sure how to fix that either. a few times i’ve added too many ebooks and it starts to stop working as well. that’s why i’m giving 4* instead of 5*. 

love this app! i wish i could support the amazing developers through the monthly subscription, but i might need to start using another app if this doesn’t resolve itself.

### 4/5 — Crashing while opening app

*2024-08-23, version 3.3.8*

I've been using Capti for a while and it's amazing! I love being able to listen to my books while on the go. However, recently whenever I attempt to open the app it lingers on the blue Capti screen before crashing. Before this began happening I was unable to upload new documents, and the synchronizing feature was bugged.  
I hope that this problem can be fixed soon!

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2024-08-07, version 3.3.8*

The UI has gotten better but it’s still buggy. The TTS would randomly stop sometimes and I might even have to reboot my phone to fix it.

### 1/5 — So disappointing

*2024-04-08, version 3.3.6*

I’m so disappointed, this app is a scam and does not work properly, I want my Money ASAP

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2024-03-02, version 3.3.5*

I paid then uploaded my documents to play and they won’t load…. The one document that does play has such a boring voice that it’ll just put me to sleep!

### 5/5 — Good so far

*2024-02-07, version 3.3.5*

I see some people complaining, but I used it to read three papers for me so far. All free. Just don’t click on that extra ocr thing. For a free app, I think it works well. I am going to do free trial period and see if it’s worth  it. The price is much better than other similar apps. I haven’t tried uploading whole books though. That might be a problem with the free version.

### 4/5 — Good once you learn how to use it

*2023-08-07, version 3.3.2*

It took me some time to work out how to get the most out of this app, but these days I would not be without it. The free version works fairly well, as long as you are prepared to work with rtf files and are prepared to pay money for the best reading voice. I use this app to read books to me for my PhD and to read back student essays while I’m marking them. Many other uses. Well recommended.

### 5/5 — It just works!

*2023-02-19*

I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with buggy text readers, but Capti just works and works well. I don’t use a lot of the fancy features of it, mostly just copy and paste to create something to read, but I like the built-in voice options. No need for high priced “celebrity” voices!
