## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don't Bother

*2012-11-07, version 16.1*

This app has been "trying" to install on 2 iPhone 5s and 2 iPad 3s for about 3 weeks!!! I just can't get rid of it

### 1/5 — Just a demo. Real version costs $20!

*2012-07-15, version 12.4*

Don't be deceived.  This is little more than a demo, and an inadequate one at that.  Buried deep in the description it mentions that the free version will only speak 2 sentences, which makes it completely useless other than as a sales pitch for the developer.  Oh, and he even collects ad revenue while delivering his sales pitch to you.  How nice.

 As I said - it's a demo.

### 1/5 — Crashes EVERY TIME!!!

*2011-11-10, version 9.2*

Speak & read
Yes it really does crash EVERY TIME after just a few sentences. A lot of times after just a few words. It would be a great app if they ever fix this. I've had the app for about 4 months and nothing has changed. I wouldn't even waste my time downloading it but if you want to see for yourself go for it. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2011-06-14, version 5.1*

Fix it it closes the app every time I use it

### 3/5 — ?

*2011-10-30, version 9.1*

I'd buy it if I knew that it really works. One of the reviewers wrote that they bought it and it constantly crashes every time. If I knew it worked, I would buy it, but at a cost of $20, I won't take the chance. The only feature I was planning on using was reading articles in English without translation.

### 5/5 — Awesome! Incredible read aloud!

*2011-08-30, version 8.0*

Incredible app.
I like it reads CNN news with natural English voice.
Key in, paste words, or tap on web page, ebook files, It reads with translation sentence by sentence.
Incredible read aloud from touched words to end functions.
Reading performance is perfect.
