### 4/5 — almost perfect.

*2024-01-20*

could use a watch complication so that you can launch the app easier.
needs an easier way to close the keyboard.

bonus points for color customization.

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-03-15, version 1.11.3*

Even when I shut off voice input in the settings it does not shut off.Any ideas? A disabled man who cannot longer talk needs to use this app and we don’t want to have voice input adding text into the chat when other people are talking

### 5/5 — This app saved my marriage

*2021-06-25, version 1.11*

This app saved my marriage

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2020-11-03*

It only goes really fast or really slow. There is no i between for me.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. Many of the voices are very sensitive with the speed slider. You will be able to get it at your perfect speed but for some voices you’ll have to adjust the slider in tiny amounts until you get the speed you’re after

### 5/5 — Crash

*2019-10-10, version 1.4*

It’s an awesome app but I downloaded the new update for the iPhone and it keeps on crashing
Can you please fix this

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2019-04-05*

It works really well for me when I lose my voice and I need to ask my sister or a friend something! I would recommend if you lose your voice, other wise there’s not really anything else you can use it for. Or, just use it for fun to communicate with siblings. :)

### 4/5 — Its good! 😊

*2019-03-19, version 1.4*

I really like this app, i can easily edit the voice by pitch and spped. (which is funny 😂) cause i csn chsnge it to something funny, or normal! I can write very silly things for no reason and type whatever i want!

Although if i tipe atleast 5 or 6 lines it glirches and closes the app or it just switches off, all you need to fix is that. :P

### 1/5 — A complaint please address it..

*2019-01-19*

I love this app so much, I use it for YouTube videos but I bought the fun voices package and I decided delete the app because I wasn’t going to be on YouTube for a couple of months because of school. Now that I have time to edit a video I want to use the fun voice package but it told me it was only the demo mode and not the premium like I bought.

**Developer response:** If you tap on restore purchases it should restore your purchase for you. If that doesn’t work you can attempt to “buy” the pack again. Because it’s a once off payment product, Apple will not charge you again for it. I’m releasing an update soon and your previous fun voice product will be valid for that version too

### 4/5 — Amazing for people who can’t talk

*2017-11-08*

This app is very useful for those who can’t talk and don’t wanna communicate by using Hand Language. You can type in anything, it reads out loud for you. 

But if I want the app to read for me, is it possible to have a button to clear all the texts I have typed?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-08-01*

Tried on two tablets and it doesn't say anything

**Developer response:** We have updated the app to make sure it speaks even if your device is on silent. This should address your issue
