## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-14*

I tried it out to see if it had any use and it just doesn’t read. Text aloud on my iPhone. Happy I didn’t pay for it.

### 1/5 — Robotic voice… please return my money

*2025-08-02, version 1.0.10*

Robotic voice… please return my money

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-01-02*

The app just provides an interface that uses the built in text to speech voices which are already accessible in accessibility settings. There really is no point to this.

**Developer response:** It’s free app.

### 1/5 — Unavailable

*2024-03-19*

Not Support for Portrait

### 3/5 — Poor Design Practices, but it works I guess

*2025-11-13*

The buttons are small and all the same size and color which makes it feel very plain and boring. When I scroll through voice options my phone lags heavily which makes me assume the app is running a heavy function while an option is in focus rather than waiting for something to actually be selected. If I am on silent mode the app doesn’t tell me that the playback failed.

### 4/5 — Price is excellent

*2024-02-12, version 1.0.3*

= don’t spend outrageous amounts for a text to speech applications=
Text2speech:

A little less real than human voice, but- you can adjust all the features tone, speed, tone, language and female to middle range from top to very low - I found the right setting , tone, speed , male / female. There are an array of different voices, different voices - I wanted the male voice to setup my voice mail- not my voice - but so easy to change for what I needed. Some of the text to speech outrageous in price - from $230+ - right down to 2.99 and SPEECHIFY is the worst rated! 
Do a search for text to speech applications, however : be careful as I said - research for the best text to voice rated ( and for its value it’s a winner- especially if you’re wanting to make a voicemail and using Text2speech is one of the easiest platforms to work with. You enter your text and then play- you can adjust pitch, speed and tone - male or female, or a neutral voice if that is what you desire.

Thanks App Store

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-17*

This app is beyond great.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you need it to

*2025-02-26, version 1.0.10*

Some small features missing and UI could be cleaner but god for free it’s insane thank you! It should be open software if it isn’t! People can often fix that stuff up

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective.

*2024-12-02, version 1.0.10*

Work like a charm. I wish it had more natural voices.

### 5/5 — amazing app
