I love this app!

This app has been so helpful for me! I use it with both my work and personal email and I really appreciate being able to file emails and write responses through the app. I looked for other ways to accomplish this, but I could not find anything this good! I highly recommend it!

Crashes

This keeps having issues and doesnt work & we are told there aren't fixes. Works about 1 in 5 tries.

Life changing

My wife needed this for a few months while she was recovering. It was absolutely life changing! Easy to set up and easy to use. We had a minor issue and reached out to the support team. The resolved the issue quickly. We have recommended this to many friends and will continue to do so.

Great app! Gave me functionality I could not find anywhere else.

I really needed a way to get through my email while I was driving and out of all of the options I looked at, Speaking Email was by far the best one, nothing else was even in the running. I have been using it for several years and I can’t even say how much it has helped me stay on top of my email. This doesn’t just read your email to you but allows you to respond and file email, which is really what makes this better than any other product out there.

Doesn’t actually work, and there’s no support

Granting Gmail access to the app is very buggy. I tried multiple times to no avail, and without that the app is not usable.
