Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to read messages aloud, aiding hands-free communication and accessibility. However, common issues include the app stopping unexpectedly, not starting automatically on phone reboot, and malfunctioning 'shake to stop' feature. There are bugs causing erratic behavior and limited Bluetooth headset support, which reduce usability. Despite these drawbacks, the app remains valuable for many users when functional, but reliability problems and feature limitations prevent a perfect experience.

Pros

Reads messages aloud effectively, especially SMS and WhatsApp messages.
Helps users stay hands-free and aware of incoming messages while driving or occupied.
Free to use with generally good interface and voice announcements.
Useful for users with physical difficulties or accessibility needs.
Supports Bluetooth message reading to some extent.

Cons

App often stops working or requires manual restarting.
Does not automatically start reading messages or turn on after phone reboot, causing missed messages.
The 'shake to stop reading' feature frequently does not work as intended.
Bugs such as spontaneous volume changes, erratic behavior, and failure to read some message types (e.g., Facebook groups).
Lack of reliable Bluetooth headset audio output, only uses phone speakers, which can be embarrassing or inconvenient.

2026-05-21	Ka*****	enjoy that it reads my messages out loud, however, I can't get it to stop reading out loud. shaking doesn't work, opening message doesn't stop it. I have to disable it if i might get a text when in a meeting and I can't get it to stop reading.
