Accessible, intuitive, and easy to use

Came across this app and now absolutely love it! I find it to be the easiest way to save webpages and news articles and other things I want to go back to and look at and use as references for things like books movies other lists of information that I want to keep for the future

Scrambles document text and becomes unintelligible

There has always been a minor issue with the document import where it would drop the odd word but it’s gotten significantly worse lately where it moves whole sentences around and the audio becomes a bit of a garbled mess - please fix!!

Rating glitch

This app has asked me to rate it SEVEN TIMES!!!

It use to have a four star rating, but this constant need for validation glitch has cost the app a star

Great for dyslexia

I have severe dyslexia and I struggle ate reading this app makes it very easy to go through my favourite fanfics or books

This is what I am looking for it

I found it really enjoyable to listen to a book while driving and walking with my Bluetooth earphones.

Works great

Download fanfic onto the app so I can listen on the go

Cannot read scanned PDFs

This app cannot read scanned PDFs. I already bought it but it cannot read scaned PDF

Very good app

But I’m mostly doing this in hopes that the app will stop asking me to review it

Please refund me

I bought pro because the free tier voices were really bad, but it had the exact same voices.

Okay it’s the best

Only because the “Are you enjoying this app” pop up keeps assaulting me every time I open this app and desperately hope it stops after I leave a Written review along with my forth 5-star review, YES I might use this app a little too much for reading my fics. Biggest perk is it’s free even if the AI voices are a bit rough. I did find a way to upload a slightly better one but still not the greatest. I’ve gotten used to it. I like that it saves my stuff in one place. Again it’s FREE, so beggars can’t be choosers. Room for improvement, but don’t think that’s the goal for the creators of this app because I’ve had it while and haven’t seen many changes. If you want delivery for the cheap price of FREE, this is your reader app.

Excellent

Very good app!

Great, but has a few bugs

I’ve been using this app for a few years and overall it does 90% of what I want. The only gripe I have with it is that it doesn’t play very nicely with AirPods. It seems to interpret the in ear detection as a toggle so that sometimes when I take out one of my AirPods from one of my ears, it will just start playing. Occasionally it also starts playing on speaker when I put my AirPods away.

This is exactly what I need.

Fantastic, simple and efficient

Ok but needs I pad support for reaction

Slow and unresponsive in settings on iPad, totally still freezing after one full day and keeps shutting down there’s been no resolution and it’s totally unusable the way it works on that side.

Ideal solution with ethical business model

One-time cost is refreshing in a world of subscriptions and it works great! Just make sure to download “Premium” voice in Accessibility settings.

Sync with desktop version is seamless & super appreciate the privacy profile (nothing shared with Developer - everything local to device by default).

Choppy in CarPlay

I moved to speechify. As to the devs comments, I don’t think a brand new iPhone pro on a 2026 Lexus stock CarPlay is low cost device, idk why the developer is mad, he made a bad app so I reviewed it fairly. No other app has these issues. Also i discovered on reddit from googling that the developer often attacks people not just me.

Choppy in CarPlay

Does anyone know a good app to read word docs in CarPlay?

Surprisingly good

I've tried other, more expensive text to speech apps and cancelled them all. This is good enough, I can use it easily and listen happily. And it's a good price too.

Amazing

I use this app always help me a lot
