### 1/5 — This app is worthless…

*2023-11-27*

This app is worthless… it does absolutely NOTHING

**Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry that you have this impression of SubReader.
We have made SubReader to be able to read subtitles aloud for people with dyslexia, and that is the core functionality of the app. If that is was you intended to use it for, then please feel free to reach out to us in case you have experienced it not to work?

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-02-01*

I’ve tried it on my iPhone and iPad and it doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Promising but with huge issues ...

*2021-01-25*

I got the app with an expectation to help my dyslexia. I watched ‘Call the Agent’  sadly the translator scrip is littered with “ “&lrm” a million times throughout the text so you hear “&lrm” more times than you hear the text at times. This is so off putting it destroys a good intent. What’s is wrong?

**Developer response:** Hi thank you for the review, luckily this issue has been resolved after your review, and i hope you can enjoy the app now.

### 4/5 — Purchase

*2020-03-29*

Hi, I just bought the app and it says that I have a 14-day free trial. Does that mean that after 14 days it will automatically subscribe and costs money? 
Because I don’t want to. I want to delete the app cuz I actually just subscribed to netflix and it already comes with subtitles.
Thanks

**Developer response:** Hi Sarah, after the 14 day free trial you will not be charged automatically! :-)
The app is meant for people who have trouble reading the subtitles, so it can read it aloud for them :-D
