### 3/5 — Ir uses to be very good

*2024-10-21*

It’s been months now that the “American voice” has something wrong with her. It looks as if she is a foreigner with bad pronunciation.

### 2/5 — Mispronounced the first word I tried!

*2024-03-08, version 1.5.6*

About half of English words have rule-predictable pronunciations. The other half are irregular to some extent. This app mangled the first word I tested (anime). To its credit, the next several words I tested were pronounced correctly.
If you use it, be aware that it may supply you completely wrong pronunciations at times.

### 4/5 — Like this app but issue with high quality voices

*2024-02-07, version 1.5.6*

I really like this app. I purchased the pro. But I noticed that it too has issues with loading the high quality voices. I followed the instructions, but it keeps using the low quality voice. I even restarted my phone, which had the latest iOS 17.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-01-12, version 1.5.6*

It is pretty good, but sometimes it does not show any definition even when I spell it right and I have to go on Safari or Google. It also has a sort of limited vocabulary, and if it doesn’t know the word it will almost always pronounce it wrong (only when it doesn’t know the word).

### 3/5 — Ok

*2023-11-03, version 1.5.6*

Recently it has stopped working and I have to force close it. Has been like this through an update and it’s still not corrected. Still use just takes some time

### 5/5 — Work

*2023-10-30, version 1.5.6*

I’m a terrible speller. It gets me through the day.

### 4/5 — 重宝してますが

*2023-10-23*

フランス語の聞き取りの勉強に重宝してます。
ただ、速度設定中間があればいいのにと思います

### 2/5 — Okay app

*2023-07-16, version 1.5.6*

I’m wondering how I paid for get all topics for $4.99 yet I was charged $7.82 to my VISA? Is this some sort of price hike app?

### 5/5 — Pro and not pro

*2023-03-04, version 1.5.6*

*2023-02-11, version 1.5.6*

This App is amazing I use it help my 9 year who has speech delay problems to help pronounce words even I find myself using it too to pronounce streets name

### 4/5 — Pro version didn't carry over my topic pack

*2022-12-30, version 1.5.6*

I've purchased the topic pack from the nonpro version only to find out it doesn't carry over to the pro. Having to purchase it again. This transition isn't enjoyable. And will like to be reimbursed for the nonpro-topic pack. Please and thank you!

But I do enjoy the pro nonads features!

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-10-07, version 1.5.6*

EVERYTIME I TYPE A WORK IT THE APP CLOSES

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-06-24, version 1.5.6*

The app crashes after every use.

### 1/5 — Crashes after each use.

*2025-06-21*

This app crashes after each use. The ad version works better than this. What a shame.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!

*2024-12-11, version 1.5.6*

I spent eight dollars on this app and it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do. 

Problem one: you cannot add definition for the words you add.

Problem two: you cannot add your own pronunciation, yes, this is important because not all pronunciations are correct.

There are other minor issues, I contacted developer through the app. Haven’t heard a word. I just noticed that this app was last updated four years ago. I wish Apple would have a deadline and remove these apps from the Apple Store.

### 1/5 — Pronoun citation problems

*2024-11-19, version 1.5.6*

Doesn’t pronounce the full word

### 1/5 — Voice change

*2023-04-25, version 1.5.6*

I can’t understand the American Accent when trying to here the pronunciation of a word. And is extremely difficult to go back to the voice over I had before when searching through my settings. Not feeling to confident in the pronunciations of the words I type in.

### 1/5 — Does not work for Russian

*2022-03-04, version 1.5.6*

The Russian pronunciation is wrong: vowel and consonant sounds are pronounced always the same, no matter if they change depending on their accent, position, etc.

### 1/5 — Hassle for review

*2021-09-26, version 1.5.6*

Bought the app Can’t open it without being hassle for a review here’s your review

### 1/5 — Do NOT buy

*2021-09-02, version 1.5.6*

This app was working well, then suddenly the audio is no longer supported (kind of the whole point of the app). I paid for Pro so contacted the developer through the website and email was returned as undelivered!! Will also be reporting to the App Store.
