### 1/5 — ポップアップ広告がウザい

*2026-01-10*

いちいちポップアップを開かなきゃいけないのがウザすぎ。広告の入れ方にセンスないアプリは使われない。

### 3/5 — 質問

*2025-10-26*

広告消したくて支払いして、広告出なくなりましたが、数時間して使おうとしたら、また、広告出まくるのですがなぜ？

**Developer response:** 「音読」をご利用頂きありがとうございます。
「音読」は無料版です。

おそらく、お支払い頂いたのは、「音読」の有料版「音読+」だと思います。

その場合、お使いのデバイスに「音読+」がインストールされている筈ですので、そちらでお試しいただけないでしょうか？

よろしくお願い致します。

### 5/5 — アプリ開いた瞬間閉じちゃう

*2025-08-25*

質問に近いのですが、アプリをインストールしてさあ開こうとアイコンを押した瞬間、タブが開いてすぐ消えてしまいます。iPhoneで対応しているOSのはずなのですが、端末の問題でしょうか…?

*2021-08-31*

無料だからと最初は思ってたが、一度文字を再生したら広告流れるのがうざい

### 5/5 — 質問
