### 3/5 — Pricey ($15 a month)

*2026-07-30*

The free teaser is nice; but it’s not worth $15 a month for me.

**Developer response:** I've made it so that even the free version can be used without ads forever and with as little stress as possible.  The paid version gets much cheaper with an annual plan. Please consider upgrading whenever you feel it's right.

### 1/5 — 無課金で長文（英語と日本語が入り混じる文）を読んで欲しい場合にはお勧めしない

*2026-07-22*

課金しない場合使いづらすぎる。英語と日本語が入り混じった文章は特に。おそらくAIアプリに文章を読んでもらってそれを録音してリピートする方が使いやすいかも。文章量が多いからこのアプリを使おうと思ったが、読み間違えが多いし、読み方を変えるにも、量が多すぎて修正に2時間かかった。そして、修正してるからもう、読み終わるという。文章を変更するときに初めの文に戻ってしまうから変えたいところに移動しなきゃいけなかったり、読み方を変更した後、音声が読んでるところに戻ってしまったりするところが特に不便。

課金したらおそらく良いアプリだと思う。

**Developer response:** ver3.9.31で読み方変更後、音声位置が戻る問題を修正しました！

読み方は音声エンジンの部分なので、限界はあるのですが、修正できる部分はできるかぎりすぐ修正するので、設定=>要望からいつでも歓迎です。

### 5/5 — お世辞抜きに最高のアプリ😃

*2026-06-24*

★★★★★

とても素晴らしいアプリです。4、5年愛用しています。

もともと読み上げ機能が便利で愛用していましたが、今回さらに感動した出来事がありました。

使っていて気になった点や機能について相談させていただいたところ、なんと1週間も経たないうちに対応していただき、アップデートで改善されていました。

ユーザーの声をしっかり聞いてくれるだけでなく、その対応スピードの速さには本当に驚きました。

アプリそのものの使いやすさはもちろんですが、開発者様の誠実さと熱意が伝わってきます。

「もっとこうなったらいいな」という要望にも真剣に向き合ってくれるので、安心して長く使えるアプリだと思います。

これからも応援しています。素晴らしいアプリをありがとうございます！✨

**Developer response:** ありがとうございます！そう言ってもらえると嬉しいです。何かあれば設定=>要望から歓迎です。

### 5/5 — 歓迎挨拶

*2026-05-11*

皆さん、こんばんは。

本来なら、社長挨拶になる予定でしたが、あいにく出張と重なり、わたぐしのほうで代理を務めさせていただきます。どうぞよろしくお願い致します。

新入社員の皆様、ご入社おめでとうございます。心より歓迎いたします。
また、社員の皆様におかれましても、ご参加いただきありがとうございます。

私たち有限会社アシモは、生産管理・保育・建築と幅広い分野に取り組み、多様性に富んだ会社です。
さらに、インドネシア、ネパール、ブラジル、ベトナム，フイリピンなど、多国籍の仲間たちが共に働く、活気あふれる職場でもあります。

その分、各現場のリーダーの皆様には日々大変な思いも有りますが、だからこそ互いに助け合い、共に成長できるそんな強さが、当社の大きな魅力でもあります。

新しい環境や不慣れの仕事に戸惑うこともあるかと思いますが、その時は一人で悩まず、職場のリーダー、もしくは先輩に相談しながら、自分らしく進んでいってください。

皆さまにとって、良いスタートになりますことと、ご健康を願い、簡単ではございますが歓迎の挨拶とさせていただきます。
　
それでは、本日の時間をどうぞ楽しんでお過ごしください。

ご清聴ありがとうございました

**Developer response:** 長い原稿を音声で確認する用途にも便利なので、ぜひ試してみてください！

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-04-05*

Great app, can save articles and listen on the go.  Use it every day.

**Developer response:** I also save web articles on Pocket, just like you, and listen to them on the go. This is why I started learning iPhone programming about 15 years ago. I'm glad to hear that you also appreciate this habit, which nobody around me seemed to understand when I started developing it.

### 5/5 — 超级好  背书前面可以多听一听

*2026-03-30*

很好

**Developer response:** 谢谢！最新版中可以使用AI语音的重复，还能从标记设置中使用区间重复，所以请务必也试试用于背诵练习！

### 5/5 — L’amour

*2026-02-23*

La femme

**Developer response:** Vous pouvez aussi choisir une voix féminine ! Dans la dernière version, vous pouvez aussi sélectionner les voix IA de ChatGPT ou Grok !

### 4/5 — 収容できるデータ量は素晴らしいものがあります

*2026-02-22*

現在リスト数は自分で思い出せない位たくさん登録しています
同一リストの内容が数千ページになるものでできるかどうかわからないのですけど、同一リスト内の言語検索ができると大変助かります
最小最小ページの検索はできるようなんですけども、同一リスト内の検索が欲しいです少なくても数百ページ多かったら2000ページ位の書類の中からの検索になりますけどもできるでしょうか？毎日のように使わせていただき感謝しております。スクショの画像取り込みが1部できない時がありますけれども、様々なユーザさんのケースがあるので難しいかもわかりませんね。これはあくまでも希望なのですけど、参考書にある簡単な図表の参照表示ができる方法は無いでしょうか？最近の参考書の中には図表で記憶しやすいように説明してあるものが多いです。スクショの参考表示でもいいのですけど、ずいぶん努力していただいているのであくまでも希望です。プログラムが大きくなって重くなってきているので、この2つのリクエストも難しいかもしれませんね。最後にご苦労様です。

**Developer response:** 丁寧にありがとうございます。プレイリスト画面の右上のボタンから、全体検索が可能です。全てのプレイリストからテキストを検索でき、テキストの場所もそれぞれ表示されます。

### 4/5 — Стёрла

*2026-02-16*

Абсолютно стандартно — начитывает теми голосами что уже есть у вас в телефоне, с невозможностью отредактировать текст, игнорировать  знаки , повторить   абзац , вернуться назад перепрыгнуть вперёд — ничего нельзя. Как и сменить диктора  на грамотного . За что деньги то?

**Developer response:** Редактировать основной текст можно через настройки в правом верхнем углу экрана текста, а игнорировать символы — через настройки импорта в экране настроек.

Повтор абзацев и подобное возможно с помощью недавно добавленной функции маркера — повтор участка и так далее.

Перемещение вперед и назад также можно с помощью кнопок «вперед» и «назад».

Самое важное — это звук, но в последней версии я добавил ИИ-голос и ИИ-перевод и значительно улучшил приложение!

Также попробуйте, когда будет настроение!

### 5/5 — 使えば絶対に★5です。4.3ではないです。

*2026-02-03*

とことんユーザー目線で開発されています！1度使ってみて欲しいです。

分かりやすさ、使いやすさ完璧です。複雑な操作は一切なく、ブラウザ・アプリ・紙面など媒体を問わずコピペしたものを瞬時に垂れ流してくれます。
テキスト編集、数秒停止、mp3出力、テキストのプレイリスト化etc
mp3化、外部出力しなくとも曲と同じように操作出来るためバックグラウンドでの操作性最高です。

レビューを見ればユーザーと対話しながら真摯に向き合って改良を重ねてこられたことがわかります。4.3は過去の評価に引っ張られていて気の毒です。過去のユーザーの要望が全てアプリに反映されています。期待に応えようという姿勢が素晴らしいです。厚かましくも私の希望する機能を直接お伝えしたところ数日で実装してくださいました。
皆さんぜひ使ってください。

**Developer response:** すごく嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございます。何年もコツコツライフワークのように改善し続けているので、こういうレビューを書いてもらえるというのが本当に嬉しいです。

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.9.37 — 2026-08-24

Hello, last night was rough because of stomach pain.

This time, I added sorting options to the Reading List and improved AI credit guidance, new text creation, importing, AI Voice playback, and more.

New

- From the Reading List title, choose Newest First, Oldest First, Recently Used First, Title: Ascending, or Title: Descending.
- Made low AI credit notices easier to read, with clearer plan details and the steps through purchase.

Fix

- When creating a new text, the checkmark button to confirm is now clearly shown after entering the body.
- Fixed colors when switching an empty Reading List to Dark Mode.
- When importing from files, shared content, or photos, partial saves are now explained correctly instead of being shown as fully successful.
- Fixed an issue where an old loading result could be applied after switching to another text or playback position with AI Voice.
- Made purchase status updates more reliable after a purchase or restore.
- Reduced display load when switching appearance or searching in long texts.

The sorting options are especially easy to use now, so please give them a try!

New

- Added a way to select a voice you like directly from AI Voice samples.
- Added a way to return to confirmation of the Voicepaper AI plan you previously selected after purchasing Voicepaper Plus.
