### 5/5 — 추천

*2026-08-12*

처음엔 불안정했으나 업데이트가 잘 이루어지는 편. 무엇보다 완전 온디바이스로 이루어지는 것이 최고!!! 음성 재생만 이용하다 요약 등 다른 기능들도 온디바이스라 안전해서 마음에 듭니다.

### 5/5 — Mein persönliches Lieblings-Hör/Lese-Werkzeug

*2026-05-09*

… ist Page Echo tatsächlich erst seit kurzer zeit, seit dem Tag nämlich, als die Entwickler die sprachlich äußerst multiple SuperTonic-Engine in Page Echo integriert und damit ein Werkzeug geschaffen haben, dass für den einmaligen Abo-Preis von Kurz vor 35 Euro einen Komfort beim konsumieren digitaler Bücher und anderer Publikationen bietet, den andere Apps dieser Art bis heute ganz einfach nicht haben. Das beginnt bei dem einerseits denkbar einfach zu handhabenden und andererseits enorm mächtigen und flexiblen Management-System von Büchern und Dokumenten, setzt sich mit den verfügbaren Modellen KI-generierter Stimmen in vielen Sprachen fort, geht mit sehr ausgereiften Übersetzungsroutinen für gerade geöffnete Inhalte weiter und, speziell für blinde und sehbehinderte Leute, enthält ein sehr konsequent umgesetztes Konzept der optimalen Nutzbarkeit mit Apples Bedienungshilfen, hier insbesondere VoiceOver und Zoom. Man muss die echte Positiv-Power dieser App einfach mal selbst erlebt haben. Dann fällt einem anschließend fast schon gar nicht mehr auf, dass die gesamte Be- und Verarbeitung von Daten, während man Page Echo benutzt, völlig ohne externe Server oder Clout-Anbindungen, sondern konsequent auf dem eigenen Mobilgerät (iPhone oder iPad) stattfindet.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und freundliche Bewertung. Wir sind Ihnen besonders dankbar, dass Sie uns mehrfach per E-Mail Feedback gegeben und positive Rückmeldungen gesendet haben. Sollten Sie auch in Zukunft Verbesserungsvorschläge oder Feedback haben, können Sie sich jederzeit an uns wenden. Wir wünschen Ihnen alles Gute und viel Gesundheit. Vielen Dank.

### 4/5 — Getting there

*2026-03-27*

Pretty good, just needs more pricing optiona... I'm not particularly interested in paying a whole year up front.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. We will discuss your feedback with the team and take it into consideration so we can offer even better options! Thank you as always.

### 5/5 — A Game-Changer for Students and Researchers!

*2026-03-02*

This app is incredible for academia. The ability to upload PDFs and EPUBs and then use the on-device AI to generate chapter summaries or ask questions about the text is like having a personal tutor. It’s perfect for digesting complex papers and books without any distraction. And the fact that everything is 100% private and works offline is a massive plus for studying anywhere.

### 5/5 — 평생권 결제했습니다

*2026-02-04*

오래오래 업뎃해주세요💜

**Developer response:** 감사합니다! 꾸준히 업데이트 열심히 하겠습니다!

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2026-01-31*

Hi, very promising so far. Any plans to implement supertonic 2? Or is that the current model? Asking because supertonic 1 was known for skipping words etc. Also please implement the coreml optimized version of supertonic 2 if possible for additional efficiency and speed gains. I sent an email to your feedback email. 

Great work so far!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. With the recent addition of support for the SuperTonic 3 model, we are now able to offer higher quality and support for more languages. We will continue to improve our service. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Great so far

*2026-01-30*

Great all, congrats to the dev on being one of the first to implement supertonic and kokoro models. Only issue if that sometimes they still sound robotic and skip words/mess up pronunciations. Really hoping this can be fixed in the future or that other models can be implemented in the future (as things progress). Will definitely be purchasing.

### 5/5 — Favorite TTS App

*2025-12-24*

I think I've tried every iOS TTS app and PageEcho is my new favorite. The voices are excellent, it supports all the types of documents I use (web article, PDF and ePub), has iCloud sync and it works offline, which is very important to me and not supported by most TTS apps. The developer has been very responsive and quick to make enhancements or fixes. I was happy to purchase a Premium license.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review.
It truly means a lot to hear that PageEcho has become your favorite after trying so many iOS TTS apps.

I’m especially glad the voice quality, broad document support (web articles, PDF, and ePub), offline usage, and iCloud sync are all working well for your reading workflow. Offline support is something I deeply care about, so it’s really rewarding to see it appreciated.

Your support by purchasing the Premium license genuinely helps me continue improving PageEcho. I’ll keep doing my best to make it even better, and as always, feel free to reach out anytime if you have feedback or ideas.

Thanks again for your kind words and support!

### 5/5 — Very promising app

*2025-12-16*

wish the app actually shows or highlights which page is it is reading out. whenever i press the play button it goes to the first page but reads the content from the page i was on.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
- The purchase history restoration issue has been fixed in version 1.1.2. We apologize for the inconvenience.
- The Supertonic TTS model can be downloaded from the TTS settings screen and used only for ‘English’ books. It can be configured in the settings. I think this issue should not occur in the latest version. (For reference, Apple's system TTS currently operates for languages other than English.)
- The option to import Kindle books is included in our current development plans. We will update this feature as soon as possible.

Though still imperfect, we will continue to evolve PageEcho by swiftly incorporating your feedback.
Have a great day.
