User reviews

Not in English

I don’t why this is being recommended in English when the app and materials to be read are not in English.

awful

you can’t understand a thing. and there is no direction. i want this removed from the app store

Is this a joke?

No part of this app works with VoiceOver. How can an app called "read for the blind" not work even a little bit for blind people. This almost makes me think this is an attempt to scam money from whoever supported the development of this application.

Not great

It is written in the native language of Thailand. When you open this app it does not open a window to allow you to choose a language; even though it is described in the App Store in English. Unless you are in Thailand or know how to read its native language this app is useless.

Great app!!

Confess that I didnt start use this app yet but I feel thankful for who created this app..You have a golden heart...:) Very good app.!
