User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the app for natural, high-quality voices and a strong listening experience, especially for readers who prefer audio or have impairments. However, users repeatedly cite steep pricing, content-length limits, and missing core features like auto-scroll and highlighting. Reliability issues and frustrating sign-up/ads also recur. Overall, the key pull is top-tier voice quality; the main drawbacks are cost, content limits, feature gaps, and occasional bugs. Users want longer content support, cross-app highlights, and more reliable operation.

Pros

Natural-sounding, high-quality TTS voices with a broad range of premium options (including distinct voices like UK George) praised across multiple reviews.
Strong listening experience and accessibility value—especially helpful for readers who prefer audio or have reading impairments, making content easier to absorb.
Widely regarded as offering high-quality voice variety and overall TTS performance compared with similar apps.

Cons

Expensive subscription pricing with perceived poor value and frequent complaints about limited word counts and long-term commitments.
Content length and usage limits are overly restrictive (e.g., only 200 words free, 6k-word cap on paid tier, and page-by-page reading).
Missing core features like auto-scroll/read-along, text highlighting while reading, and cross-app text highlighting across other apps.
Reliability issues and bugs (e.g., uploading problems, incorrect reading order, login/verification issues, outdated status) and a call for better updates.
Marketing friction including sign-up prompts and ads, with some perceptions of bait-and-switch pricing.

Nanami can’t pronounce when she’s talking in Japanese but only some words

Why were the bots grace and Benjamin removed. Those two in my opinion were the absolute best to use, and now I can’t use them anymore, is there a reason for this?
