Too Many Defects

This app is not user friendly and does not cater to all readers. When try to download books , it takes forever or it doesn’t download at all. For the price it should and could be better. I’m not happy with speechify at all.

Why Not?

I’m sure this app would be amazing. But why release it for Aussies, and not allow us to use it?
It’s pointless and outrageous.

Glitching

I downloaded the app and during set up it froze on a blank screen. I reopened the app and set up. It will not let me select a book for the trial period.
