### 2/5 — Apple Watch

*2020-11-18*

Don’t actually work with the Apple Watch only shows a black screen when you open it on the watch. I use text to speech to talk it be nice if the app worked on the watch as well. Since I often forget or lose my phone. There is an expensive one I read about, but who has 120 bucks to spend on a talking app?

**Developer response:** Unfortunately was the Apple Watch feature not a success. Maybe in the feature when Apple give access to the Scribble. This will be amazing when we could use Scribble on the Apple Watch for Talkie.

### 2/5 — Apple Watch bug

*2020-01-24, version 2.8*

I love the idea and I want to be able to use this on my Apple Watch! But when I get into the app the screen goes black and nothing happens..

### 4/5 — Lots of options for voices!

*2021-04-12, version 2.9*

There is a whole lot of variety with the voices and languages. I do like that. However, I don’t know how to save the speech to my device. It is very confusing, that or I’m dumb lol. Overall, looks pretty good.

### 5/5 — Amazing free app to easily convert text to speech

*2022-02-23*

Thanks, great app!  Nice play button and clear button to speak things quickly.  There doesn’t seem to be any adds or things I need to pay for.

Will update if anything changes.
