Therefore, I don't believe it's ready for prime time and giving it two stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2014-02-19, version 25.1* Don't waste your time like I did. Don't get it, it doesn't even read to you.. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2013-01-20, version 17.0* Cannot pronounce I've, isn't etc. free version reads only few sentences. Have an option to read docs in other application but didn't open the docs. Useless. Deleted. ### 1/5 — gabage *2013-01-12, version 17.0* so bad！！ ### 1/5 — Junk *2012-11-18, version 16.1* Don't waste your time with this application. It's complete garbage; doesn't function as advertised. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2012-03-19, version 12.0* I bought this app to read some words documents. But it crashes all the time despite upgrading to the full version. Very frustrating! I hope I don't get charged twice as other ppl said. Wish I had read the comments before purchase ### 1/5 — SpeakText *2012-03-02, version 12.0* Freezes repeatedly when it tries to read web pages. I had already paid the $19.99 for the full upgrade and so I tried to download the upgrade again twice to solve the problem - but no help. Then I found that SpeakText charged me 2 more times for additional charges of $42.48. Stay away from this highway-robbing junk program!!!! ### 1/5 — Maybe the paid version is better... *2011-12-13, version 9.2* This app only reads a few sentences and doesn't continue reading while switching to other apps. ### 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. Rich ### 1/5 — Misleading *2011-11-05, version 9.2* Bad app. It is not the icloud ### 1/5 — Junk *2011-07-03, version 7.01* Does not even open.what a waste ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — awesome *2015-02-04, version 29.0* Just want I was looking for! Love the features. Will purchase app in next couple of days. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Talk about a support aid *2014-11-30, version 28.0* I'm a teacher and needed something that my students could use for free . Something that supported all content and mobile. Awesome product I wonder what the full version does. I plan to spread the word . ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-10-07, version 27.0* I love this app; it became the big part of my life since I bought it two years ago. I use it mostly to listen to books from the Internet sites like Project Gutenberg that offer books in a text format. English is my second language and the 'SpeakText For Me' gives me the possibilities to listen to books, sentence by sentence, with a speed that is comfortable to me, the app translates all sentence to my native language, additionally I’m able to repeat all the difficult parts of the books as many times as needed to fully understand them. I spend with 'SpeakText For Me' one to two hours every day and, since I started using it, I have made very big improvements in my abilities to understand and speak English. I plan to use it for many more years, read hundreds more books and, at the same time, improve and perfect my English skills. I’m convinced that it is “must to have” app for everyone how tries to learn a new language. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-12-11, version 16.1* I love listening to my texts and translations!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Good Application *2012-10-23, version 16.0* Thanks ### 5/5 — Good program thanks *2012-08-13, version 12.4* Thanks ### 5/5 — Perfect tool to read and translate web pages and documents *2011-08-30, version 8.0* Incredible read aloud from touched words to end functions. Reading performance is highly improved now. ### 5/5 — Not typical *2011-05-18, version 4.0* I know it's not the typical use for this app but it still pretty much saved me when I got my tonsils removed. It hurt so badly to talk and my mom doesn't understand sign language so I would be able to type everything in and use it as my own voice box. Helped me out a lot. ### 4/5 — Worth the money *2014-07-29, version 26.0* I am using this app to speak aloud my written Spanish lessons. I plug the phone into the big screen and sound system, and teach the Spanish lessons to my family. Some functions are not user friendly but I can figure it out. ### 3/5 — Works for me *2013-12-07, version 22.1* I tried Speak for Me and Speak it to me and and they both wouldn't work. This one did. I am using an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
