Bait and Switchify

I was using the Speechify voice clone feature to clone my voice for my production voiceover work. Voiceover for mundane tasks went to my clone, they stole my voice and shut that feature down. I could’ve grandfathered it in, but no, they just stole it. This forces me to use stupid Hollywood voices but not own. So now I have production work requiring additional voiceover work on my part because Speechify took my money then stole my voice from me. Bait and switch…. Or Bait and Switchify.

Lost your first love

The new UI is maddening. I purchased this app to read to me. I have a full-time job and I’m in school etc, etc. This app was incredible because I can read my school stuff at home, then grab my phone and immediately continue reading in my car. This is now impossible. The new UI has prioritized AI/discovery while making basic reading/library functions harder to access. Please make it stop. Please.

App Is Trash

I originally downloaded this to read long text threads while working. It was simple and did exactly what I needed it to do. This app recently has gone rogue with the AI and changing how to have things read. I don’t want my text saved in a library. When I paste text in, it never starts at the beginning, it starts reading the last few sentences and stops.

I deleted my account and deleted the app. Don’t fix something that was broken…

Cannot cancel Trial

Keeps trying to charge me account over and over. I still am unable to cancel and I have been trying since trial period. Company does not respond to emails and app messaging does not allow you to send a message.

$200?!?!

$200 to continue using the app after the 3 day trial. No other subscription options, they want u to cough up $200 to use it for only a year. Go to hell, ur definitely not getting a cent out of me now
