Dissatisfied
First word I type in it has no idea how to pronounce and says it can’t find it. Totally disappointed
Accent
Though I like the app a great deal, why does the translator have an accent? I haven’t used the app lately, but, today I did and was surprised to hear an Italian accent.
Where on the app can I change it to plain English.

Found on the web, app is alright
Hey, rather than a app, it would be more functional and useful to have this as an extension or script that appears in the options menus for the bowers, and for the long press on selected text.
It’s just silly to have open an app or website. When, I really should be able to highlight/select the word and either/both long press and have “pronounce” as an option, like “look up”, “search the web”, etc.
And/or, the browser menu that contains “pronounce/howjsay” as an option, such as, print, look up, etc., is an option.

Love this app
This app has given me very much pleasure over the years. I am not good with phonics , therefore I rely on this app. Thank you.
Add it to the pile
I understand that app devs also need a way to make money, and I can’t fault them for that. I won’t be spiteful because to be fair, their prices aren’t terrible in the scheme of things. However, I will say I think that anyone that makes a subscription the only option to get consistent or basic functionality from their app is alienating at least half of their user-base. I have to ask, since it really does seem like no app developer realizes this, but you do understand that if nearly every single app on the market wants to charge a subscription fee, the average middle or lower class person can’t have 20 subscriptions to every single random app, right? On top of that, having to manage a bunch of random reoccurring charges is honestly a little tiring to keep track of. I really think that this would do better with a one time fee for the words you guys have decided to make premium only, even if it’s a bit more than the subscription price is now.
Edit to add, like others have said, there are dozens of free options that serve the same purpose. Some mention google, but dictionary.com or merriam-webster also work fine. If you’re determined to hear the most natural sounding pronunciation, you can ask chatgpt (for free). I have yet to hear any unnatural pronunciations despite the dev’s denouncement of ai pronunciation in response to another review.
