But like this other app it does not say dot for a “. So that’s why it is a 4 star rating. If you don’t like reading get this app. ### 2/5 — LET IT BE FREE *2026-04-24, version Version3.5* WHAT IF PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD IT!!!! ### 3/5 — Errors *2026-01-22, version Version3.5* It won’t let me use the summary ### 3/5 — The voice thing *2025-09-13, version Version3.5* I want to change the voice but it won’t ### 1/5 — Cant sign in to google *2025-07-08, version Version3.5* Cant sign into any google emailed accounts to read anything your welcome in advance before you waste time! ### 2/5 — Constantly Glitches *2025-06-25* The free trial of the app was great. As soon as I started paying for the app, I’ve had nothing but glitches. It will read one page of 10, then glitch. I go back into the app and select to play the folder, as I’ve already read the first page I press the arrow to go to the next page and it glitches. I have to go back into the app again, select my folder, select the page to start on only for it to glitch again closing the app. This is a continuous process of wasting my time. I can sometimes get it to read a whole page but it glitches when I try to select the next page. After trying to access the next page 3 or 4 more times, it will start reading the next page, then stop. I do not recommend the app if you need to have something longer than a single page read. ### 1/5 — Awful App *2025-06-17, version Version3.5* This app is terrible. You can’t even access files to attach to the app and it fails to read via copy paste. 0 stars. +50$ a month subscription which I would never pay. ### 1/5 — Terrible UI on phone *2025-04-16, version Version3.5* I can’t get the app to speak my text after I edit some text. Terrible app and is expensive. ### 1/5 — glitches *2025-04-15, version Version3.5* don’t buy it. get another app. glitches everytime so annoying. reached out to the makers of the app and no response. deleting. ### 1/5 — App lags and freezes *2025-04-09, version Version3.5* Poor quality app, constantly freezes and “updates library” ### 1/5 — Horrible with header and footers in pdfs *2025-04-03, version Version3.5* Sigh ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ⚠️ Beware of this app’s “free trial.” *2026-08-29, version Version3.5* ⚠️ Beware of this app’s “free trial.” The app advertised a free trial. I subscribed to try it and cancelled almost immediately after realizing it wasn’t suitable for me. Despite cancelling within a very short time, I was still charged $81. I contacted Apple to request a refund, but unfortunately Apple told me they could not refund the charge. I feel this is extremely misleading and unfair, especially when the subscription was cancelled almost immediately. Please be very careful before starting the free trial and check the subscription terms carefully. ### 1/5 — Predatory Prices for bare Minimum Service *2026-06-02, version Version3.5* Do not support these guys at all ### 1/5 — just weird *2026-05-29, version Version3.5* voice was horribly ai, didn’t have at least child voices for narwhal and jelly, and didn’t pause right. ### 1/5 — CRASHES CONSTANTLY *2026-03-29, version Version3.5* Say the offer a free version but anytime that you deny upgrading to their premium version (which is $50 a month by the way) the app mysteriously crashes. Total scam trying to get you to sign up for three day free trial hoping you forget about it and they can charge you $50 a month for the most basic bs! ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-02-18, version Version3.5* Worthless app ### 1/5 — Good but *2026-02-18, version Version3.5* I thought you just took a picture of the title you would have the thing but I spent half an hour just taking the picture of the book and then it’s saying I put a voice and it restarted the whole voice ### 1/5 — Awful app *2025-10-16, version Version3.5* Predatory pricing: has a free 3 day trial then will charge $50 / month for an app to read out loud, a scamming amount of money. Also, no luck getting it to read my pdf without subscribing. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-08-24* I cannot stress enough just how bad this app is. First of all, it tries to deceive you into subscribing to a $50 per month service, just for a read aloud app. Secondly, if you don’t comply with doing so, it seemingly intentionally punishes you for it. The AI reader will not start from the beginning of the PDF, and will also abruptly cut off before the end. It also seems to skip over words quite frequently, leaving you trying to understand a sentence that made no grammatical sense when read aloud by the app. This app is really, really bad. And highly immoral in its coercive and deceptive tactics to get you to subscribe to a $50/per month service (FOR A READ OUT LOUD APP, OF ALL THINGS). Don’t give this company a dime or moment of attention. They are far from deserving of it. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-07-27, version Version3.5* This app is such a scam along with every other app that reads to you. It’s practically unusable without paying for pro. ### 1/5 — Scanning SUCKS *2025-07-20, version Version3.5* Scanning pages and device goes to Home Screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-04-29* I like the voices better then speechify, however speechify does allow you to clone your own voice to read to you which i like however you have to pay for it , if this app could allow cloning of voice and making it free this read4me would surpass speechify ### 5/5 — Finally, an app exactly what I needed *2026-03-31, version Version3.5* It’s not overly complicated Simple, but effective thank you to the creators of this app. I love it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-12-10, version Version3.5* Wow! 100%recommended! Specifically if you don’t have time to read wile you have a busy life. 🫶🏽 ### 5/5 — Get now’ *2025-08-11, version Version3.5* Real voices, smooth talking 10/10. Free! ### 5/5 — Summer reading *2025-07-28, version Version3.5* Really good because now I don’t have to read and I can have it read to me ### 5/5 — It’s a really good app. It reads everything for you. *2025-07-21, version Version3.5* I love it because I don’t have to go through needing to read a whole bunch of things. I could just ask you to read it for me. ### 5/5 — Definitely does his job *2025-04-27, version Version3.5* Works greatly ### 5/5 — Read 4 me Review by Jason Abacan *2025-04-20, version Version3.5* This is a awesome app to read long court papers life is so much easier I recommend and teach all my friends and family how read 4 me. ### 5/5 — One of the top three app. *2025-04-10, version Version3.5* This app is amazing. A must have. ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-02-25, version Version3.5* Don’t know how to read and this helps me understand!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
