User reviews

loving

i love the simple layout and the ability to move the layout also love the voice customization options, the reading speed, the pitch, the speed and pause between paragraphs. i enjoy the article history view option too!

Free and easy

Simple app layout that makes accessing the articles easy. The voices are a bit robotic as they are older, but there are many options to choose from and it does hurt the experience.

Works as Intended

Great app :) the voices are fun to mess with and i can now clean and listen to a wikipedia article at the same time.

Nice; with suggestion

This is a really nice project, kudos for making it. You may consider replacing the robotic voice with the file uploaded to Wikipedia:Spoken articles on articles for which a recording in that project exists. Maybe even make a separate playlist or search filter for articles where that exists

Really cool app

Understand the reasoning to not include AI-generated voices but i think it would make it a better listening experience. Otherwise really cool app, that I’m excited to use instead of doomscrolling
