## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish!

*2020-06-29, version 1.1.5*

Does not work all I can say really

### 1/5 — Too Minimal

*2018-03-03*

It looks like a minimal app which does only what you ask it to do.  Read text aloud.  The bad part is, it accomplishes being minimal better than anything else.

I will put up a list of neglected features:

• It doesn't have a pause read-out option
• It doesn't save the place when the display goes to sleep
• It doesn't readout text once the display has gone to sleep
• It doesn't have a (Start Read Here) initiating pointer
• It doesn't open Browser pages in a Reader Mode (Big Feature ask, but a must have)
• It only has one English voice
• You can't change the pace of the Readout once it has started

The Developer would be best served by adding all of these capabilities.  Otherwise for me it's a waste of time.

### 1/5 — No good

*2017-03-28*

The person sounds too much like a robot. And the speed of the speech is either too slow or WAY too fast. Would be better if the speed was adjustable with a slider and the voice was a bit less robotic. App has potential just needs better execution

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!!

*2017-03-22, version 1.1.2*

Don't have anything else to say. It's useless. Does NOT do (or say) what it says on the tin. Deleted!!
