### 2/5 — タブレットでは不向き

*2022-06-10*

*2021-09-16, version 1.0.2*

Love this app so much

### 4/5 — 良いアプリだが Bluetoothは使えない。

*2021-09-05*

最も困るのは、Bluetoothを繋いでいても、アプリ使用時は強制的にスピーカーに切り替わります。外出時など要注意。

□ 良い点
・様々な音声を選択しリスニング可能
・細かいスピード調整
・地味に履歴機能が便利

□ 今後のアップデート要望
・Bluetooth
・翻訳機能
・TTS Proのよりナチュラルな音声導入
・文章時の検索

### 5/5 — This is GREAT!

*2020-09-24*

Having the choice of voices is what makes this work so well.
I use it to find the correct pronouncement of medications that I order over the phone. Found that I have been speaking these drug names incorrectly for years.
Thanks for this app. It's great!

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2024-11-26, version 1.0.2*

App sticks on voice selection and goes nowhere

### 1/5 — Can’t use after one month

*2022-02-28*

This app was updated 4 years ago. I liked the app but it was locked after a free period even though you paid it.

### 1/5 — does not work and no support

*2022-02-25, version 1.0.2*

cannot select languages. non of the buttons work.. my ipad is new so is not a hardware issue. unusable app

### 1/5 — No, this is just a waste of time

*2021-11-05*

I try to change the voice and now it doesn’t have one, and when I tried to fix it it doesn’t allow me

### 1/5 — pointless

*2020-12-09, version 1.0.2*

stuck on voice choice, completely useless app, deleted after 1 min

### 1/5 — Using the inbuilt dictionaries from Apple

*2020-10-08, version 1.0.2*

This app is trash. Doesn’t use his own dictionaries but instead is using the ones from Apple which doesn’t have Romanian dictionary. Sorry but this app is useless as ****.

### 1/5 — Fix the voice change bug!

*2020-01-21*

Sound and pronunciation excellent.  But when I tried to change the voice, I could not get back to the original screen so the app became worthless.  Fix the bug and you have a winner, otherwise people will try it once then delete as I did.

### 1/5 — awful

*2019-02-12, version 1.0.2*

You get into choice of voice section and you stuck there, there is no way back. people, you need to check how your own apps work before getting them on the market

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2018-07-10*

If I could give minus stars I would because it is impossible to change the language.  After moving the selector to the language I want, there is no way to go back to the main screen, thus no way to change the language.

### 1/5 — Can’t change voices

*2018-01-16*

When I went to change the US voice from Samantha to Aaron, I could not get back to the pronunciations screen. The keyboard hid the down arrow on the app and would not respond to the down key on the keyboard.  I am now stuck at looking at voice choices instead of being able to use the app.
