## Review summary

Users praise NovelVoice for strong TTS with multiple voices, a robust offline library with cross-site downloads, auto-chapter playback, unobtrusive ads, and active updates. Common drawbacks include Royal Road compatibility issues causing misreads, reliability bugs (early chapter endings and random stops), a cluttered UI, Wattpad page-skipping, and missing features like infinite scrolling and NovelBin support.

### Pros

- High-quality TTS with multiple voices, including two-voice quoting, helping to avoid monotony.
- Robust offline library: download/search across multiple sites, store locally, organize with folders/bookmarks, and back up chapters.
- Automatic next-chapter playback.
- Unobtrusive, non-intrusive ads.
- Active development with regular updates and bug fixes that improve features and reliability.

### Cons

- Royal Road compatibility issues: chapters misread or read only the title, overlay problems interfering with navigation.
- Reliability bugs: chapters end early or are skipped, playback can stop unexpectedly, and some interruptions occur when the app isn't in the foreground.
- UI/UX problems: cluttered controls, hard-to-tune settings, and a generally confusing interface.
- Wattpad chapters can skip rest of the page; inconsistent reading across pages.
- Missing features: no infinite scrolling and no NovelBin support.
