Ya que la opción GRATUITA deja de funcionar durante el uso. pero por lo de mas, es la mejor de las que he probado. ### 5/5 — Mala app *2024-08-18, version 1.6.3* Muy mala app ### 5/5 — Buena aplicación *2024-07-14, version 1.6.3* Es una aplicación muy buena y la recomiendo mucho ### 4/5 — Update! *2024-05-23, version 1.6.1* I love this app. I’m a chronic reader and this app allows me to listen to web novels on the go. I’ve been using it for about a year or two and haven’t had any problems until this latest update. Ever since the latest update the follow along function has been very choppy and the while the audio will continue the page will freeze. That’s the biggest issue I’m having right now, I would like to suggest however if the reading speed function could have a 1.8 button because 1.5 is too slow and 2 is just above too fast lol. I definitely recommend this app regardless of anything else tho, for the most part it’s everything I need it to be ### 5/5 — Best review *2024-05-10, version 1.6.1* This app is so great. I love it. ### 5/5 — Buenísima para exámenes *2024-05-07, version 1.5.7* Me ha ayudado a sacar la nota máxima en cada uno de mis exámenes de comprensión lectora, 100% recomendada y todo lo necesario en la parte gratuita 🫶🏼 ### 4/5 — HABLA MUY RÁPIDO *2024-02-18, version 1.5.7* no sé si hay alguna manera gratis de hacer que lo diga más lento pero está guay ### 5/5 — La mejor experiencia *2024-02-07, version 1.5.7* Si me ha ayudado en varias tareas o ensayos de mi secundaria, lo recomiendo mucho. Yo pienso pagar una suscripción. Está por lo bueno de la app. Ayuda mucho y se las recomiendo todos los personas que lo ve útiles para trabajos o tareas. Me despido con una carta formal. ### 5/5 — La aplicación esta chida *2024-01-24, version 1.5.7* Esta aplicación me salvo la vida tenía que leer un libro de 200paginas y lo termine un día antes ### 4/5 — Very Good *2023-10-27, version 1.5.1* Using the basic version so the voice is very mechanical but I think if you’re prepared to pay for it it will be quite good. May need some practice to get it working better. ### 5/5 — G *2023-10-01, version 1.5.1* Good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-03-25, version 1.6.3* This app is definitely not meant to read long documents. Every time I tried to upload the file. The app would crash out. ### 1/5 — Literally what… *2025-02-20, version 1.6.3* Bro I paid for the HD plan what do you mean you can only listen too 325,000 characters A MONTH and then you have to pay for more characters like hello? Use another text to speech app that’s not weird ### 1/5 — No funciona *2024-11-28, version 1.6.3* Intentas subir un libro en PDF y la aplicación se cierra en IPhone 13 👎 ### 1/5 — tienes que pagar bastante por un app que solo te dicta *2024-11-10, version 1.6.3* mal app ### 1/5 — Mal *2024-07-30, version 1.6.3* Es bueno para leer pero después de armar tres documentos te dice que o que pagues O que te vuelvas a sing Out en la app ,cosa que si lo haces no te va a dejar de cualquier modo, aunque lo que estés poniendo bien tenés que volver a descargarte la app de nuevo para que te vuelva a dejar iniciar todo de nuevo y así sucesivamente si querés seguir leyendo ### 1/5 — If you want free get PocketBook reader *2024-07-14, version 1.6.3* It’s $16.99 a month and you’re limited 325,000 words I don’t understand why there’s a limit I mean it’s reasonable but does the app get tired? Also, a lot of your books don’t get uploaded on the free version. I think I should only be charged $10 once and every time a new human voice comes out. ### 1/5 — Free version doesn’t work *2024-02-14, version 1.5.7* Is the free version doesn’t work how do you expect me to pay money? ### 1/5 — App won’t open after 1.5.5 update *2023-11-29, version 1.5.5* I have used this app for close to a year now & even have the subscription. However a couple of days ago it automatically updated on my iPad Pro and ever since then I can’t even open the app without it immediately crashing. I have tried deleting it & redownloading but same issue. On my iPhone which has automatic updates turned off the app still functions as usual. If it wasn’t for the app my phone still working I would have cancelled my subscription. However if the issue doesn’t get resolved soon, I will have to cancel the subscription & subscribe to another app since I do most of my reading on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Ruined by Ads *2023-10-27, version 1.5.1* Was a Great App. Now whatever is being read is constantly interrupted by ads. Useless. ### 1/5 — problemas al ingresar *2023-08-27, version 1.5.1* hola , he estado tratando de crear una cuenta pero no me deja ya que pague el plan más económico y todavía no me deja ingresar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Me obligaron *2025-10-04, version 1.6.3* Wow me encanta ### 5/5 — Muy buen *2025-10-01, version 1.6.3* Muy buena ### 5/5 — Para leer libros *2025-09-04, version 1.6.3* Lengua ### 5/5 — App *2025-08-15, version 1.6.3* Increíble herramienta ### 5/5 — Lucia *2025-05-29, version 1.6.3* Lucia Juana ### 5/5 — Me estan obligado a poner 5 estrellas *2025-05-23, version 1.6.3* Me estan obligado a poner 5 estrellas ### 5/5 — good *2025-04-07, version 1.6.3* muy buena app ### 5/5 — Lo mejor que me a pasado *2025-03-26, version 1.6.3* Me sirvió demasiado me encontraba en un apuro y llego para salvarme ### 5/5 — Aún no lo pruebo *2024-11-21, version 1.6.3* Aún no lo pruebo ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-10-04, version 1.6.3* The app is simple to use and does the job well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
