User reviews

No metronome

Hello devs, I’ve noticed that the app says it supports an “audio ticker “ but I have yet to get it to work. Please address this asap!

Otherwise, it’s an excellent app!

Thanks!

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for getting in touch. Could you email lorraine@aptus-slt.com and we'd be happy to help with this? Thank you

No directions and no clear operating usage

This app opens with zero directions or instructions. It’s not user friendly and I can’t get it to work. Money wasted.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the app. There is an info screen with instructions. We’d be happy to help you get everything working — please reach out to us through support. We appreciate you letting us know.

Overpriced and underwhelming

I purchased this app cause for $15 I was expecting a easy to use pace training app. In reality, this app has very minimal functionality beyond highlighting words at a certain pace. The exercise is helpful but certainly not worth $15

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Speech Pacesetter helps the user to slow their rate of speech by highlighting each word or syllable at an adjustable speech. It has a collection of poems and stories and it also allows you to add and save your own texts. I'm glad you find the exercise helpful and I'm sorry you don't feel it is worth the current pricing. If there is anything in particular you feel would be of additional benefit in the app, please do let us know. Please email lorraine@aptus-slt.com. Many thanks.

Update has caused glitches

Since the new update, I am unable to highlight individual syllables using my own texts. Before the update I was able to, but now it randomly highlights text and doesn’t work as intended. Please fix this!! It was such a good app before.

Response from developer

Hello, apologies for the late reply. We've updated the app since January and it does now highlight each syllable in the user's own texts. Please let us know if you are still having issues. You can contact us via email lorraine@aptus-slt.com Best Wishes.

Not able to paste new reading passages or save

Cannot cut and paste new passages on Pasteboard. Would also like to save for future reading aloud. I tried from internet articles and iPad Notes app. So it’s only good for the 4-5 passages already supplied.

Response from developer

Hi Norine, sorry to hear that you had trouble pasting text. Could you please email lorraine@aptus-slt.com and we will help resolve the issue for you. Many thanks.
