### 5/5 — It’s me again lol you know who

*2026-05-29*

Well so far 
it does pretty good tracking where I am where I go and what I’m doing wow I just want privacy guys like you that make this app give guys like me a bad name

### 3/5 — The voice I listen to is gone 😔

*2026-01-23*

After the new ios26.2 update all of the voices have changed and I can no longer listen to the voice that I used to - Nicole. It’s extremely annoying because I got used to that voice and all of the others sound too fake or the tone sounds wrong. If there’s any fix I’d love to know it

### 2/5 — Voice

*2026-01-11*

2026: After the Apple software update of ios26.2 and the Apple being the most rest update the voices changed and the voice that I used to listen to disappeared. I believed the voice was ‘Aaron - English’ looking at the high definition and standard versions the name wasn’t there, which I was disappointed with. When trying the 3 day free trial version, there wasn’t any voice option that I liked so I don’t think I would use the paid version after the trail ends.😓
2025: I have used this app for a year, so and I have never experienced this issue till today. When I listen to the text I had pasted and fast forward a few times it just stops speaking, I had to restart the app in order for it continue the reading 🥲. The issue still persisted even though the app is in the most recent update and my device is in the most recent update.

**Developer response:** Hi Shanni,

*2024-12-06*

When I’m listening in English every now and then it’ll switch to another language and voice then when I switch it back it’ll be another voice as well so I have to change language and voice which makes me lose time

### 3/5 — Great app! Very buggy at times

*2024-09-24*

The app has worked well for me over the years.. of course it would crash and minor bugs here and there but still very useful. Just recently tho, it completely stopped functioning through safari for me. Any website I tried to save through the shortcut just wouldn’t come up.
