There has been this bug that has ruined the listening experience. It stops constantly for no apparent reason and when tripping to skip ahead, it skips to the next chapter. It was great before so I don’t know where these bugs came from. If these can be fixed, then that would make the overall experience better. Thanks **Developer response:** Hi, Sorry for the late reply but I got little time to work on the app at the moment. The issue with skipping ahead should be resolve in the version 3.07. The issue with the stopping in the middle is a know Apple issue. I found that other developer suggest to switch to the voice "Fred en-US". You can change the voice by clicking the small flag in the top right of the Book view. For the skipping issue I will try to see if I can find a fix. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d08J9w1hlIzDKreRJPz7gMR8T95Rg_jO/view?usp=share_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m-5_0jar8ovQ3iHXjgOgHpZyCaZwS5ME/view?usp=share_link ### 4/5 — Was great before IOS 17 *2023-12-06* After the IOS update the app keeps randomly pausing and you can’t use the 30 sec skip without it skipping the whole chapter and if you don’t pause it before moving the slide to the right time it skips the chapter again. **Developer response:** Sorry for the late reply but I got little time to work on the app at the moment.

I no longer need to wait for my web novels on the long drive to and from work. Would be great if you could give the option to change voices, for some reason it’s using Australian Karen despite it not being my selected voice, and nobody likes a Karen. Still the greatest app despite this small setback **Developer response:** Hi, Sorry for my late reply. You are able to change the voice for each novel individually, if you click on the small flag icon close to the title of the novel in the screen where you see all the chapter of a specific novel. Thank You for your review. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-05-04* Has made my commute sooooo much better, now I can sit through traffic listening to cultivators prevail over evil, functional, like any text to speech the monotone computer generated voice can get a bit grating, but it beats the option of reading! Love the app! **Developer response:** Thank you :-) ## Frequently asked questions about Net Narrator ### Does Net Narrator have ads? No, Net Narrator does not contain advertisements.
