Sleep times

I wanted to love this app and even pay the big bucks to use it, but I have to have a sleep timer with it. IOS and kindle with this there is no timer. In the instructions it said there is a timer in the IOS clock but mine doesn’t. I made sure everything was updated and is not there. So I had to cancel after my 3 day free trial. Very bummed😔

Expensive

After trail period finished this app keep charging you the full £124 annual cost every day even though blocked from bank . Is hard to find how to delete account I don’t use it …

$130 Annual Subscription, Unreliable App & Disappointing Customer Support

I absolutely love Speechify and find it incredibly helpful for school, but the constant crashing and freezing on my new phone has been extremely frustrating. I’ve contacted support, but they were unable to identify or resolve the issue. What’s even more frustrating is that the app works perfectly on my fiancé’s phone and my tablet. For a $130 annual subscription, I expect a reliable app and better customer support. It’s disappointing to pay for a service I sometimes can’t use for weeks at a time.

Scam

It’s doesn’t scan books it only scans page for page

Annoying

It says “dot” for ending quotations for whatever reason. Literally after every single one. All you get is one voice unless you pay $150 every year.

It should be more obvious what you can get for free

Making people go through a tutorial and then after wasting your customers time finally telling them what the product costs is not a fun friendly business model from the consumer end. I am glad there actually is a free version. I would be willing to pay maybe $10 for a real sounding voice but pay monthly?

Review

It works!!

Great app but can you update it?

Hi, this app was great when I had it before and now it’s slow and not responsive when I press the buttons. Please fix it. Thank you

Perfect for my ADHD brain.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD, and I find that my learning and information retention are significantly improved when I can listen to content as well as read it. This app is therefore ideal for the way I learn. Occasionally, the narration splits words awkwardly, for example, pronouncing “currently” as “curr- rently”, which can be a little distracting and momentarily interrupt my concentration. That aside, the overall experience has been excellent.

How much???

I’m sure it’s an excellent app, but I’d rather they lead in the App Store with the fact that it’s £130-odd. Per annum.
It would save wasting time.

Lies

I downloaded this app because it claims I can scan any book and it would read it. The first book I tried it told me it was not able and to use Kindle or similar. If you can choose anything from the library, then say that. Being able to read any book is a flat out lie.

I gave three stars because some people probably like a library choice.

Ugh

I just do not like it

Please look into plan revision

This is a great app but such a shame there’s no monthly plan. Not everyone can afford to pay for a full year straight up.

I tried scanning my books to no avail!

I am having to take pictures of the pages of the book I own only to be read a page at a glance one. I really feel misled will someone teach me how this works cause otherwise this app is just like audible and you pay for what you listen to.

AI has made it so so much worse

As anoremouk subscriber I've canceled it, as a student speechify used to be excellent with its auto summaries of content and access to shortened sections now you have to have abdrivel conversation with a chat bot that gets nothing you ask for on the first go. Ridiculous why'd you change a product that worked so well

Horrible

1 star

I really want to love it

I get disappointed with each use reading words and numbers that aren’t there so then I have to skip ahead then go back. It’s so annoying. Also, the ads show it like all you have to do is tap the cover and I have to scan and crop each page. So annoying. I wasn’t sure about the full price even worth the free trial so I went ahead and got the full year at a discounted rate and I’m wishing I had done the free trial 🙃 I really want to learn this book though so I’m giving it another try after waiting a few days.

Terrible update

La nueva versión apaga la lectura si minimizas la ventana o apagas la pantalla. Eso no pasaba antes.
