Can no longer change the voice pitch

Hello developers, I have encountered a bug, where I can no longer change the pitch of a voice, in Easy Reader. Previously, it used to work well, but it no longer works in this latest version of this app. For now on, I gave 4 stars.

Voix humaine et synthétique

Bonjour
J’ai enregistré dans Eole Je de lilia Hassayne. Grande déception à l’écoute : c’est une voix synthétique. Je viens de l’enregistrer sur mon ordinateur et il s’agit d’une voix humaine. Comment faire pour l’obtenir avec une voix humaine?
Merci de m’aider.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the narration. Based on the information provided, this does not appear to be an issue with the EasyReader app itself. EasyReader plays the audio or narration format that is supplied by the book provider. In this case, we recommend contacting AVH Eole directly for guidance on which books are available with human narration rather than a synthesized voice. They will be able to advise whether the title you downloaded is only available with synthetic speech and help you find alternative versions that include professionally recorded narration.

EasyReader does not remember reading position

The app has big problems keeping track of where I have listened to, numerous times I have to find where I am up to as the booking lock has not been remembered. This is especially prevalent when I've got more than one book on the go. This is fundamental to a book reading app. I would love to have the chance to use a different app but obviously I'm fixed to this one. Sometimes it opens and just reads loading…, This is when you know you've lost all your bookmarks and all your reading library selections. The other criminal problem is that the feedback button produces five smiley to less smiley faces when you slag one the app crashes, for God sake. There are another issues where the book won't stop playing when you press pause and when you can try and control using Siri shortcuts the book does the opposite to what it is commanded to do. I've also got auto start read selected even though the setting does not exist anymore, it did once so I can't turn it off now. a shambles.

Best option for reading Bookshare books as a Blind person

I started using this app when my VoiceDream appr which I was using for my BookShare books kept crashing. Using this app I easily accessed my bookshare account and books. I’m talking about the free version. I don’t do anything else with the app but I really only have this one purpose. I know it can do a lot more, and I really appreciate that even for free I have full access to my books, that it’s not truncated in any way. I also found it easier to navigate than BookShare’s own app. So, for Blind users, I highly recommend getting this app, even if it’s just to use as backup. It’s really nice to have a basic tool that really works that the developers have made available for free, for which I am very grateful.

Well, it’s free so what do I expect?

For years now I’ve had issues with this app. First of alll, books it claims are downloaded are not. Then, you pick a book and guess what? ‘Download failed, please try again llater’. What, again? Then, when I close the app the book, if it opens at all once the app is reopened is a different book from the one I was reading. It used to be at the top of the page but now the book in progress could be just about anywhere in my reading list. Frankly, it’s pathetic but It’s free I suppose. Having said that, thank goodness I don’t have to pay for it, it wouldn’t be worth the money.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Powerbunny13 . We're sorry to hear you've experienced issues with downloaded books, failed downloads, and the app not returning you to the book you were reading. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when it affects your reading experience. The behavior you've described is not what we expect from EasyReader. Download and book-position issues can sometimes be related to specific libraries, account synchronization, or app versions, so we'd like to investigate further. If you're willing, please contact our support team using the link below with details of your device, iOS version, and the library service you're using. This will help us identify the cause and work towards a solution. https://yourdolphin.com/EasyReader/Report-a-Bug

Bête humaine

Response from developer

Hi Emmmancheur, thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you're enjoying Éole. EasyReader provides access to content made available by partner libraries, but we do not manage or control the titles in their collections. If there's a specific book you'd like to see added, such as La Bête humaine, we recommend contacting AVH Éole directly to request it. Library feedback helps them understand which titles their readers are looking for. Thank you for using EasyReader!

The app of last resort

If the sound quality was adequate and there was an option to reduce or increase audio speed by less than 25%. It would probably be ok just dated and clunky.

Serious bugs

App Version 2026.01, iOS version 26.5
Running on iPhone 16 Pro

If you use incorrect login details when logging into the RNIB Reading Services library, then the app will not ever log into that service and you can’t change the login detail. The only resolution is to delete the app off the phone and reinstall it, which will then give you a new opportunity to enter incorrect login detail details.

When away from Wi-Fi and using mobile data the app can get stuck, seemingly often, on the “losing…” page as the app launches. Opening the app once back at home and connected to Wi-Fi seems to resolve the issue. Even though the phone has access to fast mobile data. So the app is at times unusable when travelling or otherwise away from home, even though the Audiobooks are already downloaded. I have hidden all the other libraries apart from the RNIB Reading Services library if that is relevant.

Poor

There is no way to contact the owner of this app. You cannot try again to log into your account, you have to delete app, download it and then try again, you have to reduce text size to untoggle libraries ,which means struggling to see the screen, and every time the app updates you have to repeat this

Useful but several issues for VI

No dark mode, can’t Bluetooth to Alexa, no ‘End of chapter’ option on sleep timer. RNIB book cover often disappears. I have my phone on high brightens as vision impaired, so when the book cover disappears and lack of a dark mode option it’s blinding. Still, saves money on Audible.

Brilliant but flawed

I am partially blind and listen to books a lot, sadly they done allow 0.95 or .09 for slower reading or slightly faster . You can’t customise for longer the sleeper for longer than an hour . It does the basics but it’s a shame they don’t consider these options as standard for veterans

works but needs improvement

the tts voice for daisytext/ence-books sucks, its robotic and specially by today's hyperhuman sounding voices with AI. reading with voiceover doesn't work well because of the app's navigation system with e-books. other than that, audiobooks and all work well, but every screen no matter whether it feeds from a source like bookshare or not, takes time to load like an app from the 2000s.

Hi Shreybhatt, thank you for your review and feedback. The speech output of DAISY books can be customized to meet your needs with the use of our premium synthesizers or using the books built in human narration. Would you be able to contact us at inapp@yourdolphin.com to gain further information so that we can help resolve your issues?

Hi LOSC MON CLUB, thank you for sharing your story, it's great to hear how EasyReader is helping! If you have any specific feedback for the app, please let us know in an email to inapp@yourdolphin.com where we can consider your suggestions!

I hate the new interface.

I hate the new interface. It's so large that the sleep timer is almost off my phone screen. The old one was much better - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hi BerengariaOfNavarre, thank you for your review and we are sorry you are having this issue. Would you be able to email inapp@yourdolphin.com with details of the device experiencing this issue as buttons being partially off screen is rather bad for the usability of the app on the device(s) where this occurs
