### 5/5 — 自动翻页导读线

*2026-07-01*

可以出一个自动翻页同时有导地线的模式吗，跟微信阅读一样的那种，然后自动翻页的速度可以再快点吗，在现在80最高的基础上扩展到100，个人读的比较快，谢谢

### 4/5 — 能支持快进吗

*2026-04-24*

听书能支持快进和后退吗

**Developer response:** 在1.8.4版本中，锁屏界面已经支持了快进和快退功能

### 5/5 — 不错。

*2026-04-18*

希望继续保持更新和稳定的软件支持，能不能有一些新的AI的语音更加流畅自然。

**Developer response:** 这个在付费版里有提供，可以试听看看

### 3/5 — 更新完后两段不同声音重叠

*2026-04-18*

听几分钟就莫名变成两段声音重叠在一起读了，其中一段还不知道从哪选的，一直循环播放，搞得现在没法正常听了

**Developer response:** 已经在排查这个问题了

### 5/5 — 力荐，急推

*2026-04-06*

前两天用免费版，今天下了个专业版，音色提升极大。我高中的时候是在外面租书看。大学的时候就开始用手机看。再后面上班的时候，我就下载的TXT ，用APP可以直接朗读。然后一直到现在都是上班听小说，其中为了找让我满意的APP，差不多尝试了得有十几二十款的 APP，留下来了几款主流的APP。最后我遇到了lingroll，这一款是我目前为止用到的最好的一款，我主要是用来听书的。音色跟主流的几款 APP 不相上下，但是它这个收费却比别的要便宜很多。设置方面，比其他的APP 强出一大截，很多很多细节它都能进行设置，这个都是我在别的APP上看不到的，就比如，朗读段落停顿；中英文、粤语针对不同的体系可以有不同的发音；每次朗读可以自行添加书签（我每天晚上睡觉的时候都会定时 45 分钟听书，然后听着听着就睡着了。早上起来的话，像别的 APP，我得往上翻半天才能找到我上次听书的地方。但是这个它有自动添加书签的话，我能立马找到昨天晚上一开始听书的那个地方，我觉得这个功能特别不错）。还有很多很多，大家可以试试看。

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持

### 5/5 — 好用无广的听书软件，几个建议

*2026-04-02*

谢谢开发者，软件很好用。新加了简化的设置面板，改设置很方便，有个性化需求的话调整的自由度也很大。特别感谢有txt自定义正则提取章节标题的功能。反馈一个听书bug和几个建议：
1.变粤语bug：近期遇到了三次听书时突然由普通话切换为粤语的bug。没有任何手动操作，在读到某一新段落的时候突然就变成了粤语发音，但软件设置里显示的还是普通话发音人。第一次在软件里改成任何其他发音人都没反应，重启手机也没用，还是粤语发音。手机系统设置把siri和语音都调成普通话才好（软件出bug读粤语后，设置-旁白-语音-首选声音只有粤语可选，网上搜攻略后发现要改siri语言，我才发现siri的语言变成了粤语。我平时不用siri，不记得siri的语言是我曾经想学粤语时改的还是软件改的，但我近期没调过siri，不是由siri调整导致的软件语音bug）。第二三次bug现象一致但好修复一点：听着普通话a，突然发音突变为粤语b，软件显示的发音人还是a，切换为其他发音人+删除软件的语音缓存文件，再切回a朗读，就变回了普通话a。
2.长段落建议：在听书遇到段落长度超过一个手机屏幕的长段落时，语音读到超过屏幕界面的句子时，屏幕不会自动定位到当前读的句子，只有等读到新的一段了才跳转屏幕。希望能随听书进度定位屏幕，让既看又听的阅读体验更好。另外，长段落没办法从中间句子开始听，如果从技术方面看实现从段中听比较麻烦的话，可以考虑增加一键分段的功能，按标点（句号等）+段落最长字数（无句号时超过x字就按逗号）分段。
3.缓存建议：我一直打开着“播放完成后删除对应语音文件”，但清空语音缓存文件时看到有四五本读过的书共200MB语音缓存。我以为除了目前在读的书的一两段之外，其他都不会存的。建议优化自动删除机制，减少空间占用。
4.听书建议：建议在退出到目录界面时保持听书状态，有个小悬浮按钮控制播放或暂停。这样在翻目录挑书看的时候有声音听，不会太无聊。

**Developer response:** 谢谢支持，我先定位一下你说的几个问题，新增的几个功能还需要调研一下

### 5/5 — 推荐无广告听书软件

*2026-03-09*

其他免费听书软件最多支持txt，这个支持的格式挺多。系统自带tts对一般人够用，花钱也有微软tts用。
缺点就是设置不够傻瓜，感觉是给程序员用的软件。比如我调个听书速度，里面好几个调速度的，我都不知道调哪个，就都调了下。建议做成抖音视频那个多档倍速调节，1.1至2.0倍速。
还有建议书库能带个搜索功能。
我把书放lingroll文件夹怎么就隐身了，能找回来么？或者能让他不隐身么？我是移动过去的。

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈，我优化一下操作逻辑

### 5/5 — 网页阅读

*2026-01-12*

可以增加➕一个输入网址链接.就可以阅读的功能嘛谢谢

**Developer response:** 可以邮件或者小红书给我提供详细的需求吗？谢谢

### 5/5 — 不错，好用的

*2025-12-18*

大家可以试试这款软件

### 5/5 — epub文件阅读的时候标题和正文字体一样大

*2025-10-16*

软件很喜欢，想买专业版，但是epub文件阅读的时候标题和正文字体一样大，如果能把这个调整下就完美了
