## Review summary

Reviews repeatedly praise the app for accessibility and the ability to export audio, plus a broad range of voices and a simple UI. However, multiple reviews report instability—frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches—and concerns about voice availability after updates. Overall, it’s a valuable tool when it runs smoothly, but reliability and consistent voice options are the main drawbacks.

### Pros

- Accessibility: helps people with speech impairments communicate more easily.
- Export text to audio files for use in skits or prompts.
- Wide variety of voices and options for personalization.
- Simple UI that’s easy to use.

### Cons

- Frequent freezes and unresponsiveness, making the app hard to use.
- Persistent bugs and glitches across features (paste, typing, favorites) that disrupt performance.
- Voice availability and quality changes after updates (some voices removed or unavailable).
