### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-12-19*

Couldnt even copy and paste my story onto the app for a while snd when I finally did the app says I need at least one character…. My story has 3000 words in it….

### 1/5 — Funny Story

*2025-05-21*

All this can be yours, for the low low price  of FIVE dollars a month to get ONE page per day. Wait, what? You actually write stories? You could use in a single day, say, 50 pages? No problem at all that’ll be $90 please. Per month.

### 1/5 — Stürzt sofort ab

*2023-12-12*

Funktioniert nicht am Mac mini (M2)

### 1/5 — está enInglés

*2023-12-10, version 2.6.0*

Está en inglés En inglés no le entiendo nada

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2023-06-18*

If a conversation has more than 1 or 2 dialogue boxes, it downloads a Zip full of empty files. Consistently. Also, it charges me for every blank download. I’m using my credits for nothing. It’s starting to feel like a scam. The only article in the Help Center is about unsubscribing. I can see why.

### 1/5 — Se atora

*2023-03-19, version 2.5.0*

No siquiera la pude probar bien

### 1/5 — No trial.   No demo.

*2022-05-29*

They want $10 for the first month before you can do ANYTHING with the app.  From past experience, I find that apps that are afraid to let you see their interface or try them out are usually disappointing.

Use your own judgement - but I’m not paying for something I can’t try first.

**Developer response:** Hello,

The welcome page is a trial offer for one week. You also do not have to signup, there is a close button on the top right where you can use the app completely free.

### 1/5 — It’s too expensive and misleading

*2021-12-10*

After you pay for “pages”, the app will deplete your “character count” each time you listen to the recording, update the text, or save the recording.  So you may end up using all the characters you paid for just from editing the text and listening to the result.

The text input is also buggy, so the text you’re writing will almost always be out of view.  It sometimes works for a second, but will scroll back to the top of the text input box after a few seconds of typing, which makes it nearly impossible to work within the app.  Repositioning the cursor in the text box is also buggy, so trying to edit specific parts of text within the app is very difficult. The app quality does not justify the price even if the text to speech is pretty good.  Especially when the app charges you every time you listen or save a recording.

The app is an amazing idea, but it needs a lot of work before they charge you per character.  I hope the developer takes the issues seriously because it’s a pretty cool app if you don’t mind paying a lot of money for text to speech in a somewhat buggy app.

They also removed the ability to watch ads to get credits, or get credits for leaving a review, which is kind of a bummer considering the other issues

### 3/5 — Awesome Ai voice app

*2021-02-28*

This an an awesome ai voice app. However, why isn’t there a subscription model instead of the expensive per page cost? Something d the times you have to fix how the voice sounds and you can’t fix it until you hear what’s been said by the ai voice and of course that costs money. Please take in consideration.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion. Please upgrade to the latest version (1.4.1+) to view the new subscriptions. An additional benefit of the subscriptions are use of all voice actors and an ad free experience.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

### 5/5 — Needs more realistic AI voices

*2024-05-22*

Amazing all but needs improved voices
