祝アップデート！

なんとアプリがリニューアルしていました。
本当にお世話になってるのに、長らくアップデートがない状態だったので心配していました。
有料で良いので朗読も増えると良いなと思います。
これからもよろしくお願いします！

Response from developer

嬉しいレビューをありがとうございます😊 新作も追加致します。

金額が違う

朗読の作品がSALEで370円と書かれているのに、購入しようとするとAppleの精算画面に400円と表示されている。
30円の誤差なので400円で購入しましたが、嘘の金額を表記するのはダメですよー！
働働かざること山の如し

セール370円となっていますが、購入前の画面では400円と出ます。

どちらの金額ですか？
22024本が大好き

ほぼ毎日使ってます

朗読が大袈裟でなく、とても良いです。
バッグラウンド再生とタイマーがあるので安心して眠れます。
ただ、ショップから購入ができなくなってしまったので、そこだけ残念です。
復活したら購入します。
