Quan on donne play il lise a double voix … pas tres bonne l’actualisation … domange l’appli etait parfaite! ### 2/5 — I Paid, But ads keep appearing *2024-08-29, version 5.7.4* I have a major issue with the PDF Voice Reader app. I made a one-time payment, as advertised, to remove ads and enjoy an uninterrupted experience. However, despite the payment, ads have started appearing again recently. This is frustrating because I was promised an ad-free experience after the payment. I have tried looking for solutions but can’t seem to find a way to fix this. I hope the developers can resolve this issue soon or provide guidance on how to restore my ad-free access. Until then, it’s difficult to recommend this app. ### 2/5 — No da periodo de prueba *2024-08-23, version 5.7.2* Deberían dar periodo de prueba o aunque sea dejar escuchar las voces antes de pagar ### 2/5 — Not good enough. *2024-08-20, version 5.7.2* I downloaded this app to read aloud a course text. Therefore, it needs to be smooth, not robotic sounding, and needs to skip things “figure 1 blah blah blah.” This app is not smooth when reading aloud. When a word is hyphenated, due to being at the end of sentence or similar, it mispronounces the word. The voice is that typical, no body can stand it, robotic totally non-human type voice that my mind just wants to tune out. Therefore, this app is … not good enough. 2 stars because it does do what it says it does, but does NOT do it well. ### 1/5 — Baixe outro aplicativo *2024-08-16, version 5.7.2* Aplicativo ruim. Trava muito e tem muito anúncio ### 1/5 — App razoável *2024-07-21, version 5.7* Um absurdo vc pagar pelo app e ter que continuar vendo propaganda aparecer quase toda hora ### 1/5 — Dolandırıcı *2024-07-16, version 5.7* Parayla satın aldığım halde devamlı aralıksız reklam çıkmaya devam ediyor. Dinlediğin iki satır kelimeleri’de atlayarak okuyor. Hiç bir bütünlük yok. Hırsız bir uygulama. ### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa *2024-07-15, version 5.7* Infelizmente comprei a versão paga e não recebi, acho um absurdo ### 1/5 — Se pausa a cada rato y te presiona para comprar la versión pro *2024-07-04, version 5.6.7* Cada pocos minutos se pausa la lectura y aparece una leyenda que dice debes comprar la versión pro para escucharlo sin pausas. No podrías usarlo para caminar, o cocinar o mientras tienes las manos ocupadas ### 4/5 — Fine tuning *2024-06-20, version 5.6.7* I wish the interface was smoother witj a better wireless experience. I love it tho 👍🏽! ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2024-05-19, version 5.6.7* Dar uma versão grátis tão limitada é pior do que cobrar o app desde o primeiro momento. Só me deu raiva. -1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Newest update destroyed the app *2026-06-13, version 8.0.2* New bugs that causes pages not to update. The disabling of hyperlinks being used as chapter shortcuts and the resetting of evey page to 1 ### 1/5 — Ads interrupts reading *2025-11-08, version 7.0.3* I so much hate it because of the ads. It is also difficult to add markups ### 1/5 — Сплошная реклама *2025-11-03, version 7.0.3* На русском будет читать стандартный старый бот, лучше в телефоне включить настройку воспроизведение текста и то лучше будет. ### 1/5 — Не возможно слушать *2025-05-03, version 6.1.2* Одна реклама, причем реклама финбека))) невозможно слушать текст ### 1/5 — NO FUNCIONA *2025-02-22, version 6.0.2* Pague el idioma español para no tener anuncios y tengo más anuncios que antes, no hay manera de solicitar soporte dentro de la app solo te cobran ### 1/5 — Muito ruim *2025-01-09, version 6.0.1* Não faz nem o básico ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-23, version 5.7.7* I just purchased the premium option and reveived confirmation and the app is STILL prompting me to purchase. Run‼️ ### 1/5 — Enttäuschend *2024-11-13, version 5.7.6* Wollte eine App zum Vorlesen von Skripten und anderen mehrseitigen PDF Dokumenten. Leider stürzt die App nach ca. zwei Seiten ab und das ist für 11,99 € rausgeschmissenes Geld. Schade… ### 1/5 — Funciona pero muy básica *2024-11-04, version 5.7.6* En general funciona, si te urge tener la facilidad de escuchar un escrito. Sin embargo, solo tiene una voz con acento español bastante cansada y no te permite seleccionar un punto de partida de tu documento, solo páginas completas; pienso que mejorando esos puntos la aplicación se podría considerar como buena. Gracias. ### 1/5 — Spam *2024-08-28, version 5.7.4* Apenas le das play al archivo y te llena de publicidad. Quiten esto de la app. No pague caro mis productos de iOS para tener aplicaciones tan mediocres como esta. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-02-05, version 5.6.7* Has all the basics to read back pdf etc. easy to use ### 5/5 — Buena *2025-11-23, version 7.0.3* Lee bien pero con un acento raro, no puedes Retroceder o adelantar en una pagina ### 5/5 — Bom *2025-11-06, version 7.0.3* Cumpre o que promete ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-10-30, version 7.0.3* Excelente ### 5/5 — ing civil *2025-07-30, version 7.0.2* ing civil ### 5/5 — Me cobraron y no me funciona y no hay con quien acudir para soporte técnico!!.. *2025-01-17, version 6.0.1* Ayuda… me siento frustrada ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2024-12-03, version 5.7.7* La gestion de los anuncios es muy incordiosa y se sube mucho el volumen, cosa que mas que incomoda. Pero la app es muy util. ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2024-11-28, version 5.7.7* Me ayuda a leer mientras estoy haciendo otra actividad ### 5/5 — iPad y iPhone *2024-05-11, version 5.6.7* Hola la app funciona bien, pero debo comprar una para mi iPad y otra para mi iPhone ? No actualiza la compra que hice en el otro dispositivo. ### 5/5 — Informative yet lacking in user-friendliness. *2023-12-20, version 5.6.3* In general, it works well; it allows multitasking while listening. Improvement suggestions include preventing the system from returning to the first page and losing track after a simple phone check or finger movement. It would be beneficial if it asked for confirmation before resetting the page. Additionally, enabling paragraph highlighting would be a great feature. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
