### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — UX problems

*2022-08-14, version 3.2.1*

Have capti on iPod touch for my son. Can’t connect to bookshare because keyboard covers the login/submit button, and can’t hide keyboard. Works fine on larger screens. It’s the little things.

### 3/5 — Second best

*2022-05-02, version 3.2.0*

This is the best alternative I've found to Speechify thus far and I'm quite pleased. Capri's UI isn't as clean and it doesn't have many free voices to choose from but all the other necessary features are there. I do find the lack of voices to choose from a bit disappointing since the ones available are inferior in quality. I find them more robotic in comparison to other apps, which is quite distracting.

### 4/5 — Glitches and repeats

*2022-04-27, version 3.2.0*

It continues to glitch and repeat the same lines frequently now 

4/27 Now it skips the first word in sentences sometimes please fix bc I love this app

### 4/5 — Speed

*2022-02-10, version 3.0.1*

Works well! Could we have an option to of moving the reading speed in in 1’s and 5’s in addition to 10’s?

### 2/5 — Was okay

*2021-06-29, version 3.0.1*

Your app was OK but you have an updated in so long Apple had to update for you. At least speechify it’s still updating ie still doing bug fixes

### 3/5 — Bles 🕊️

*2021-05-05, version 3.0.1*

ThankYou ❣️

### 4/5 — Great app, recently updated.

*2021-04-28*

The Capti team was quickly responsive and kind when I expressed my consternation (where did all those menu items go?) With some help, therefore, I found the new location of the revised menu sidebar (hint: it's inside the playlist). I still love this app.

PS. Sometimes my purchased voice/s disappear but usually come back after a reboot.  iOs 🤷‍♀️ the ever changing ui.

**Developer response:** Thank you for kind words!

### 1/5 — Unable to log in

*2021-02-23, version 3.0.1*

The app is currently usable, unable to login due to the server being “unable to complete your request.” Honestly I don’t even know why they require you to make an account to even use the app.

1/5 Until they fix this.

### 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.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Greedy app..

*2023-02-17, version 3.3.0*

You have to pay for the app then pay coins to have it read to you. I have ADHD and I struggle to read.. thanks for being slimy. If I could get my money back I would I’m actually sad I wasted it on this crap app.. I could have bought McDonald’s with that and be more happy..

### 1/5 — Used to be decent

*2022-10-23, version 3.2.2*

But now it's junk status.  It used to be pretty good I remember. You basically have to pay for this otherwise not useable.  It's a freeware trick to cone you to download.  Website gives you tts okay but you can't download only if the files you generate no matter how much you decide to give the money whether here or online.

### 1/5 — Money bag

*2022-10-06, version 3.2.2*

Pay for premium and then they make you pay for capticoins over and above. Deleting app

### 1/5 — Paid for premium

*2022-08-15*

I needed premium service so I could import .pdf’s from one drive for listening while driving. My paid subscription went through and I’m able to see confirmation in my Apple ID Subscriptions. Yet every time I try to import I get a message that in need Premium service, even though, I already paid for and subscribed to the service. I sent an email to the company with the picture of then message along with confirmation of my Apple ID subscription receipt.  It was a while before I received a response. When I did I was told that they only have one tech support person who isn’t available. I asked when they would be available so I could get this resolved. They said in about a week. When I followed up they told me my info was submitted. I asked what the resolution is and they told me they don’t know and I could request a refund through Apple if necessary.  I told them I would rather  get the issue resolved.  That was a month ago and now they just ignore me. What an absolute garbage app and garbage support.

### 1/5 — Garbage. Books will not download

*2022-08-03, version 3.2.1*

Will not renew. Books do not download!!😡

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-06, version 3.2.0*

Not only does it not work to convert written text to speech, it double charges you in terms of Capti coins and a premium membership.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2022-03-03, version 3.0.1*

What a waste of money!  This app doesn’t work and I ended my subscription.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Best

*2022-02-02, version 3.0.1*

Best so far

### 5/5 — Best Voices and Decently Priced

*2021-12-16*

I am avid user of text to speech apps. After using many, this one has the best voices at the most decent price. Other apps with the same voices are so expensive! It let’s me organize everything the way I want. I like it very much.

### 5/5 — Love Capti

*2021-11-15, version 3.0.1*

Nothing to hate about it. . . 

It's been everything a teacher could be. . .

Thank you Capti,
Justin

### 5/5 — No muss no fuss!

*2021-09-06, version 3.0.1*

Does what it’s supposed to do and does it well. No frills but they aren’t needed. Maybe better naming of imported items but it’s NBD.

### 5/5 — Coming from a person with ADHD

*2021-04-02*

Ok so I used to use Voice Aloud Reader, and don’t get me wrong I really liked the app but was not willing to pay the price. I’d have to wait 30 minutes in between small portions of the text for it to be able to read it aloud and it got so frustrating, especially when it’s so difficult for me to focus on anything (and the fact that I’m a huge bookworm and love reading & writing does not help heh). Now, I use this and it’s really a life saver. Functions AMAZINGLY for free. The controls are a bit weird and confusing to use at first, but once you get used to all of it, it’s super clear and easy to use! I really love this app and it’s helped me significantly! Thank you! 

P.s: I highly suggest the voice Daniel at 220 wpm!

### 5/5 — Capti

*2021-01-24, version 3.0.1*

My favorite app ever!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS ‘

### 5/5 — Always down for free

*2020-12-05*

This is a great lil app. I love how I can listen and read along at the same time due to ADHD. You gifted me with the love of reading again, because reading along with Capti helped me focus and I don’t have to keep reading the same paragraph like ten times because I became distracted and lost focus.

### 5/5 — Capti for Authors

*2020-10-29, version 3.0.1*

I’ve been using the online site Free edition to cutn paste my work in progress getting a nice 20 mins a day of narration. It is very useful to actually hear a narrated version of my work as well as reading along in realtime for editing as well.
Using the Capti Voice app on my ipad i can listen before sleep absorbing the progression of my story in a way that i find inspirational to my writing process.
I also email my work to my iphone where i cutn paste right into the app and listen while at work for further review. I then email myself ideas and edits garnered along the way.
The UK Peter voice is ideal for my high mountain, fantasy novel.
Just thought I’d share my current process that this great app makes possible. Its uses are unlimited!
