## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2026-08-08, version 4.10*

As a kid with dislex and having to pay just to read without a source of income is just bad I didn’t even get to use it before I was being forced to pay I don’t like it just because of that

### 1/5 — premium firewall

*2026-07-14, version 4.09*

can’t access app unless i pay for premium, horrible app

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-09*

Everything is premium walled, except the basic, & useles, ability to read text from 1 pic. Who needs to have 1 page read to them, u can read a page urself in like 30-60seconds, then what, turn the page & do it again? Or you can just download the ebook and play it audio on Capti, or save any article to Pocket and have it read it, etc. there is no unique purpose for this that isn't done much better by other apps

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-05-24, version 4.04*

The whole app closes out when I click to hear the next page in my snapshot but every other aspect is good.

### 3/5 — Not for free

*2026-06-25*

knowledge is not for free

### 5/5 — Saves me so much time

*2026-08-12, version 4.10*

This app has been a game changer for me. I’m able to read so much more than I used to!

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2026-07-22*

### 5/5 — Clear and straightforward to use :)

*2026-06-05*

Voices are very clear and easy to understand, with helpful speed controls. Can also understand text written in multiple languages!

### 5/5 — Smooth and Essential

*2026-06-02, version 4.06*

Smooth and Essential  and Effective App…I’m a professor  so it definitely helps for those time I need an extra voice lol

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-01, version 4.06*

Oriole has completely changed how I get through my reading list—snapping a picture of an article or textbook page and instantly having it read back to me means I can absorb papers and reports while walking, commuting, or doing chores. The dictation feature is a great bonus too, making it easy to capture my own thoughts on the go, and it’s become my go-to companion for staying focused and productive.
