Updated review (staying at 2 stars):
Original review (longer excerpt):
The app keeps advertising “natural AI voices” yet outputs basic robotic system voices (not even Apple’s best quality ones). If you’re going to emphasize “natural” and “AI,” the voice quality should match the claim — especially when better voices exist on Apple devices. The user interface is genuinely nice, which makes this even more frustrating. I really want to like it, but the voice experience is still disappointing.
Developer’s response:
“We’d like to clarify one important point: our app does not advertise or claim to offer ‘natural AI voices.’ This terminology is not used in our App Store description, screenshots, or promotional materials.
The voices used in the app are based on system-supported text-to-speech options, and we do not position them as advanced or human-like AI voices. It appears there may be some confusion or comparison with another app…”
My detailed reply:
Thank you for your response. However, you state that the app doesn’t advertise “AI” or “natural voices,” yet these terms appear three times inside the app itself:
• “Your Personal AI Speech Assistant” (home screen)
• “Listen with AI Voice” (playback screen)
• “AI meets voice technology” (voice preview).
I have screenshots proving this. It’s dishonest to deny what’s clearly written inside your own app. If the app uses Apple’s system TTS voices, it would be more transparent to remove these mentions, as they set specific expectations for voice quality.
Concrete suggestion:
Add a menu to list and use Apple’s enhanced/premium voices (downloadable in Settings > Accessibility > Voices). They’re far more natural and work with your current TTS API.
Tech note for developer:
Takes max 30 minutes — enhanced voices auto-appear in `AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices()` once users download them. Zero cost.
The UI is genuinely nice and the concept great! I’ll happily upgrade to 4-5 stars if you acknowledge this, fix the text, AND add the enhanced voices. Don’t want to seem harsh — just want honesty + real improvement!
Misleading “Natural AI” Voice — Great UI
The app keeps advertising a “natural AI voice,” yet the output still sounds like basic Apple robotic voices (and not even the best-quality ones Apple offers). If you’re going to emphasize “natural” and “AI,” the voice quality should match the claim, especially when better voices exist on Apple devices.
The user interface is genuinely nice, which makes this even more frustrating. I really want to like it, but the voice experience is still disappointing.

No Voice, No Clarity, No Value
Also, it’s unclear how many languages the app actually supports. Can I even customize languages other than English with the Pro version?
Poor user experience and lack of transparency.
Not worth the price.
