### 5/5 — Pretty good for the price.

*2025-01-28*

The app sounds ok but if you follow the instructions and download “Premium” and “Enhanced” voices in your phones settings under accessibility it sounds a lot better using those voices. I like that I can send anything to it and the latest update that syncs across devices is wonderful. The animations are a little jumpy but for the price cannot complain much.
