### 1/5 — The MOST HORRIBLE APP EVER CREATED.

*2023-07-08*

THIS IS A POOP OF APP BC IN SPANISH PRONOUNS YOUTUBE YURUB BUT IN SPANISH TE CORRECT PRONOUNCIATION IS YOUTTUBE.

**Developer response:** we are very sorry for your inconvenience.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-01-15*

Basically, almost every time you click the thing so it reads it, you get an add. Almost EVERY TIME. Plus, the adds range from 30 seconds to 1 minute and a half. Also, it’s very hard to use this. Don’t waste your time with this app.

**Developer response:** we are very sorry for your inconvenience.

### 1/5 — ESTO DEBE SER BORRADO

*2022-12-27, version 2.0.0*

No me gusto por que solo tiene voz de mujer y no hay de hombre y yo necesito voz de hombre por que soy hombre

### 1/5 — Esta Horrible

*2021-11-18, version 1.0.1*

Esta Horrible.

### 1/5 — Only reads what you type.

*2021-09-28*

Does not read websites or documents as it claims. It’s ad-bait, having you watch an app advertisement to remove a banner. Very simple app and very limited.

**Developer response:** we are very sorry for your inconvenience.
