### 1/5 — Not much better than free version!

*2024-08-27*

Very glitchy. Can’t pause between sentences; starts over from the beginning! Saved phrases won’t play. App freezes so phone must be turned off and back on! Not very productive and very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Paid version is worse than the free one!

*2024-07-03*

Quirky behaviour; won’t play on command; making my life miserable!

### 5/5 — Fix the strange sound

*2023-09-19*

I depend on the application to a large extent. Could you fix the export? when saving to files by pressing play, a strange sound plays. please fix these problem

### 4/5 — User Friendly and can pre-save text

*2023-01-30*

I have been using this app for awhile. I really like a lot of the features especially the pre-save option for when I have medical appointments. Only problem I have been finding lately is the screen gets locked and I am unable to play messages. Also, if you want to correct messages you have to replay the entire thing. Not sure why the problems now as it has been working great for years that’s why I upgraded to the pro.

### 1/5 — This app crashes to often on both the pro and normal app. Fix it.

*2022-07-05*

This app crashes to often on both the pro and normal app. Fix it.

### 3/5 — Please fix this

*2022-05-23*

Ever since iOS updated this app no longer works. I'm seeing new updates coming out for the app but I still can't even use it. I have deleted and redownloaded this app every few days, both the free and pro versions, trying to see if it's fixed. I even emailed the developers. No responses, no fixes and it's been over a month. I'm a bit frustrated as I spent money on this app only for it to not work.

Before it broke, this was by FAR the best text to speech app. I hope the developers will at least address this issue and let us know it's being worked on before I just give up and ask for my money back.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-04-21*

This is a brilliant app and worth paying £8.99 for. I’ve checked others out and there that much just for a month! Not only is it helpful if you struggling to speak but it also lightens the mood if your health is poor. Every time I use it we laugh. I’m a Yorkshire lass but now have an a beautiful speaking American voice called Eva 😆
Thanks so much for creating this app it’s been such a help! 
I definitely recommend it! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤪😆

### 1/5 — Crashes consistently

*2022-02-22*

I don't know the reason it keeps crashing....

### 5/5 — Very helpful.

*2021-06-01*

I’m not sure what to call the situation I’m in, but I was born with a deformed mouth, so I have a hard time communicating with people who are not in my family bubble. With this app, it’s a lot easier.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2020-07-31*

What an excellent app, it has transformed my videos and made everything sound professional.
Thank you to everyone who created the app and I urge you all to download this brilliant app.
