### 4/5 — wifi 传书有 bug

*2026-08-13*

wifi 传书，一直提示要打开 wifi，但是 wifi 已经打开，iPhone 14pm，ios26

**Developer response:** 更新一下最新的版本，已经处理了

### 5/5 — 不错

*2026-07-25*

和qq音乐相关歌单双开听小说，听感很好，推荐

**Developer response:** 谢谢

### 4/5 — 应该很好用的听书app

*2026-06-09*

但我的苹果4G/5G，长期网络不稳定，转圈圈、频繁掉线。为何如此？别的看视频什么的都ok

最近为何声音一下变得特别小，扬声器变耳机这样……可能是接carplay放着又接过电话的原因？

**Developer response:** 有没有其他联系方式，可能是哪里配置的问题，需要检查一下

### 5/5 — 最近朗读的时候老是显示转圈然后提示连接失败是怎么回事呀？

*2026-06-04*

如题，以前用不这样呀，也更新到了最新版本，麻烦开发人员看到能回复一下，总是这样体验也太差了

**Developer response:** 检查一下你的网络呢，在线tts会比较依赖网络，如果网络环境比较差可以在网络好的时候提前下载

### 1/5 — Tts接口取消了无语

*2026-06-01*

没有tts

**Developer response:** 有其他联系方式吗，邮件或者小红书联系一下我呢

### 5/5 — 论功能是长篇小说转语音的天花板了

*2026-05-09*

可以一次把小说转完音频，带在路上慢慢听。多个tts可选，不再忍受难听的本地tts，也不怕edge-tts卡线程，mimo-tts可以完美替代

**Developer response:** 感谢支持

### 5/5 — 提点建议

*2026-04-30*

声音很好，提二个建议，一个是希望有快进快退一个章节的功能，且在锁屏的时候可用，二是听书被电话打断后，结束电话会自动继续听书，还有一条苹果15在26.4.1的系统下有闪退现象

**Developer response:** 感谢支持，可以邮箱或者小红书联系一下我吗

### 5/5 — 好的

*2026-04-19*

好

**Developer response:** 升级一下1.7.8，处理了这个问题

### 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。

### 5/5 — 不断进步的app

*2026-04-02*

深度听书用户，最近因为惯用软件停止更新很久，部分功能不兼容手机系统了才找新的听书软件。下载了好几个软件的免费版试用过后最终选择了Lingroll，用下来非常满意！功能丰富，语音模式可以设置播放模式，语速，停顿等；阅读模式可以设置字体，翻页效果和手势区域，自定义所有颜色背景等。强烈建议根据软件内指引去看一下详细操作指导的帖子，才能更好用到它强大的功能。当然也会存在一些版本bug之类的问题，但促使我来写长评的原因正是因为在通过软件内提供的渠道报错后，开发者马上联系回复，并在当天内更新解决了bug。甚至还额外来询问了是否有其它问题或建议，主动收集问题日志，希望能增加功能，只要是能够实现的，也很快安排上线。评论区和用户群里也能看到，所有问题都会在短时间内收到回复。这是我第一次直观感受到开发者对自己作品的热情，非常值得购买，因为它一直在越变越好！

**Developer response:** 感谢您的长评支持，LingRoll会一直专注提升用户的听书和阅读体验
