User Reviews

Users find the app intuitive and useful for studying, with no subscription requirement. However, reliability problems across devices and updates, voice/accent quality issues, iOS-specific failures, and difficulties importing text are the dominant drawbacks. Many users also want background playback or screen-off reading.

Pros

Intuitive and easy to use
Functional when it works / straightforward interface for reading text aloud
No subscription required
Useful for studying/reading tasks (helps with homework)
Copy-paste workflow is convenient in web/extension

Cons

Unreliable across devices and after updates; audio stops working in many cases
Voice quality issues: heavy accents or unclear speech making it hard to understand
iOS-specific issues; iOS version function does not work
Importing text/files is confusing or not straightforward
Missing background playback / screen-off support (feature request)

This newest version hasn’t worked out well for me. I haven’t been able to use this app in months on 3 different devices. I absolutely loved the older version and I really enjoy the PC version (web based). I typically end up using the web interface on my phone and tablet because this is so unreliable.

The web page and the browser extension supports copy and paste, but the iOS function does not work on this app. That makes this app useless.

It used to work well once I could get it to read a document. Though it could have used a return to top of document feature as I’m using it to listen to books. But now all of a sudden, it’s not giving me any audio. I’ve tried restarting my phone, new documents, updating the app, nothing works. So I’m going to have to find a different one.
