Canceled but charged anyway!!!!
I canceled my annual subscription months ahead of time but got charged for another year!
Currently trying to navigate getting a refund and it’s infuriating and impossible.

Did not care for it, found something better
The voices are way too artificial. It’s usable but there are better programs and it’s certainly not worth the money.
Needs work
Purchased this to help read scientific text books in an accelerated program. Pronunciation is horrible. Program sees the shadow of words on the reverse side of the page and tries to read them, speaking complete gibberish. Unnatural cadence. With today’s AI, I think the experience could be improved with minimal effort.

Whew!!!!!
Fix the bugs!!! The app shuts down for no reason. It speeds up or slows down, it turns off and it takes days to upload books. Most importantly tho my books are starting to disappear 🤦🏽♀️
08.11.26
For some reason all of my covers are reverting to a standard VDR cover 😡 the standard cover books go to the top of the list hundreds at a time. I’ve created a folder to put these books in just to get them out of the way, however every few days they come back. In the middle of reading my book will stop I press play and it reads back a few sentences. When I go back to my home page all those books are right back again. I’ve moved 1300 books that have lost their covers. This is why I cancelled my subscription.
Update 10.15.26
Again, Apple Updates and VDR leaves us hanging. The app keeps shutting down, I’ve lost all my books again, when the app does read a book it’s only for a few minutes. Books keep randomly trying to load but they disappear. I reached out to VDR and got no response on FB, insta or email. Again this is why I cancelled my subscription. Who wants to pay $60 a month for this?!?!?!?

Why does it have to cost money
Why does it have to cost Money. If the point of the app it to read to you than if you don’t want to pay for it, it does not make you so why does it not read to you. The whole point is for it to read to you you don’t have to pay for it but when you don’t it does not do what the app is supposed to do! That makes no sense this is stupid!

Good
It can be better because it still needs some adjustments and improvements.
Once best in class, now abandoned
I use this app literally every day and have for 6 years, and it’s a shame to find it in its current state. It’s still the best TTS app due to exactly one thing: regex-based pronunciation rules. Pretty much everything else is better in rivaling apps. Voice Dream has been going downhill for years, and it’s basically abandonware at this point. The developer doesn’t fix any bugs even if you report them (and there are many many CRITICAL bugs, some leading to loss of data), and only releases occasional updates that tend to break existing UI and push completely unnecessary AI features. The justification for the subscription model was that it would allow for a more continuous development of the app but unfortunately it’s now clear that was a blatant lie.

Books Disappear after updating to ios 27 after they sync to cloud
Hi I have been using the app for years and love it. The recent ios 27 update is causing the books to disappear on e they have been upload to the cloud. I have tried reinstalling the app and even deleted my entire library from the cloud and started over but it still causes the books to disappear. I looked for a way to contact support for the app but could not find it in the app or online. I will edit this review once the issue is resolved but at the moment the icloud back does not work.

I never review
I was denied a refund request on the natural voice reader and I only assume it was because I had previously been given a refund for a different app but then later decided to purchase that app. Please give me the refund for the natural voice reader!!! I never meant to purchase the voice reader app and requested same day refund as purchase. Having to pay a whole year for an app that I will not use is not okay and I will report it to my bank.

As far as i can remember
I’ve had this app installed for YEARS now. Back when it was a one-time purchase. My membership is still honored as it has moved to subscription based. Even then i still know it’s worth it.
TLS issue, can’t find support page
Was great, and no issues previously. Looks like there’s a TLS issue when downloading voices that should be addressed. Will update rating once fixed.
Want Our Money Back
I just bought the year subscription for this app and the entire time it’s had TLS errors on every voice that comes with the upgrade. I’ve waited a long time hoping they would improve the breaks on their servers side but to no avail. Even their app support is showing a 404 error. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, there is no way to even contact them, half the app is broken now for at least a month or two (since day I got) and their website also down. I want my annual refund or this review will not be taken down. If I receive a refund, I will take this review down. If nobody responds to this I will have others who are also in my household experiencing this same issue leave their reviews.

Powerful App
The features are what makes this app great
Scam! Frustrating App
The voice is robotic, the same one u can get for free with ur iPhone. It doesn’t work, I try to jump to a different page and it will only keep reading from beginning everytime. Run away!
The only thing I rely on
Been using for a decade. Have my webnovels in text running as I work, hike, fish. 10x more efficient than anything else, and doesn’t eat into your day.
Bad app
Hate it why do I have to pay for it
The best
The best, hands down
