## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Stops speaking after an advert is shown

*2024-07-26*

And then will never speak again. Even if you reboot your phone.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue. That definitely should not happen, and I understand how frustrating that would be. Since that review, I’ve continued improving the app, including speech behavior and ad handling. I appreciate you taking the time to point it out, because feedback like this helps make the app better.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-09-04*

Will not speak

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, and I’m sorry the app did not work properly for you. Since that older version, the app has been updated and improved quite a bit, including speech behavior, controls, and overall performance. I appreciate you trying it and taking the time to leave a review.

### 2/5 — I don’t really know how to feel.

*2023-08-30*

I downloaded the app in hopes of the original speak and spell voice but it just sounds WAY off. But it’s still a decent text to speech app I guess.

**Developer response:** Thank you for trying Spell And Say and for the honest feedback. I understand the disappointment if you were hoping for the original Speak & Spell style voice. The app uses the system voices available on Apple devices, so the sound can be different from the original toy voice. I’ve continued improving the app with clearer controls, more practice modes, and better overall layout, and I really appreciate you giving it a try.

### 5/5 — Better than DeepL translate

*2025-09-30*

Pretty cool, it has the OG Siri voice and the DeepL translate voice
