The voice is just scary and creepy specially when you’re alone. ### 4/5 — Useful *2026-01-13, version 1.5* This is useful for the purpose. I had mine for it could come with more voices, but still it’s good. ### 4/5 — it’s epic *2025-12-08, version 1.5* Tbh I thought it was gonna sound more different and you could change the sound, but apparently that’s in the full version, it’s still really good though ### 4/5 — I like it it very fun *2025-11-16, version 1.5* It good for music ### 4/5 — Amazing app!! *2025-07-19, version 1.5* This app is great, I’ve been have so much fun with it. Even though some words might have to be spelt differently, you can figure out that part easily, it’s really fun to use. Especially for an animatronic-like voice. I really enjoy using this app for creepy stuff. Totally recommend if you’re trying to creep someone out with the voice. ### 4/5 — Speak bot *2020-09-19, version 1.5* The app is OK, but there is one future you should add. There should be an ability to change the default voice without having to change pitch too. Like I was wondering if you can add voice is like Microsoft Sam where any other Microsoft voice is because then I would be able to understand what the voices are saying without having it to be my fault like. So I was wondering can you please do that? Then I will get this app or five star review ### 2/5 — Meh *2018-12-27, version 1.5* I am not a big fan of this, I mean it’s fine but I feel like the voice is not clear enough and it has to fixed and placed in a more modern way. I also think we should custom the voice and and I kinda want the app to be more creative in any way possible and less B-O-R-I-N-G... please do read this and try to try your best to use my ideas.This is not the best voice app, and it should be fixed. I also think that this app is not really trying. If you are try to use every idea these reviews are asking for. ### 2/5 — Well *2018-02-11, version 1.5* I agree that you know what you type but when it talks you hardly know what it is saying ### 4/5 — Anybody else here for day of silence?? *2016-04-15, version 1.4* Great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-11-28, version 1.5* The speaker graphic moves after you type, but no sound comes out. Yes, I’ve tried adjusting my volume and phone settings. This app just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Terrible!! *2019-03-05, version 1.5* I typed in something to say, and it wouldn’t say it! I thought this app would help me if i lost my voice. ### 1/5 — S *2019-02-18, version 1.5* It doesn’t know it’s abc ### 1/5 — I’m not a big fan of this app *2018-09-21, version 1.5* This app is not the best. I typed in some words and I pressed talk and I could barely understand what is was saying. Usually I use these apps if I lose my voice so I can still communicate in some way, but obviously this app was not the way to go. I do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Not a good app! *2018-02-09, version 1.5* The “voice” is so robotic that you can’t hardly understand it. ### 1/5 — What *2017-05-16, version 1.5* It's won't work it does not say anything it's a ### 1/5 — Doesnt work??? *2017-05-14, version 1.5* I tried using it and i turned my volume all the way up but didnt hear anything :/ ### 1/5 — Ok *2016-07-24, version 1.4* For all thise people having trouble getting it to speak try turning on your ringer and turning up the volume This app doesnt pronounce things properly and i do not like the robot voice and wish i didnt have to buy them ### 1/5 — Can't understand *2016-07-15, version 1.4* Can't understand ### 1/5 — Not very good *2016-03-11, version 1.4* All it does us copy what you have typed in and say it in a robot voice As I had lost my voice I hoped it would be sensible but it is a stupid app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-27, version 1.5* Its very good I will not be taking a star for this but it wont let me get full game im on iPhone ### 5/5 — Fun fact about this app *2021-06-25, version 1.5* They actually used this app for the voice of butter bot from Rick and morty. A bit of back story, the voice actor of Rick and morty was asked to voice lemon grab from adventure time, (notice how lemon grab screams a whole lot) causing him to loose his voice. So he used this app and everyone thought he was sad because the app sounded so sad. Therefore when making the episode, They used this app but pitched the robots voice a little higher. ### 5/5 — ... *2020-07-22, version 1.5* I can prank my friends. ### 5/5 — Because of Rick and morty *2020-06-08, version 1.5* I only got this cause this was used to voice the butter robot from Rick and morty and gotta say that’s awesome ### 5/5 — I guess I give it a 5 *2019-02-02, version 1.5* I lost my voice so this is the only way to communicate with my family hen just writing my words so this is one of my choices but if you can pick any sound, it would be good. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! *2016-12-20, version 1.4* I lost my voice for a few days now and I have wasted lots of parchment. This really helps! ### 5/5 — Hilarious! *2016-12-08, version 1.4* This app works very well and I really enjoy it. If any of you reading this know who purple shep is, you will love how it sounds! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2016-11-19, version 1.4* I don't have a losing my voice story but I've tried it and it's amazing! It's a must download ### 5/5 — Great and helpful! *2016-02-07, version 1.4* It's really quite helpful when I have singing concert! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2015-12-27, version 1.4* My voice is gone! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
