Voice Aloud Reader for Negative User Reviews
✓ PoorDoesn’t support language that it states it does.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Does it’s job, is very glitchyI downloaded this a month ago. When it works it’s great. Often when I change the voice it glitches and says “No active subscription “ when I purchased the upgrade. It’s pretty frustrating because I have to close and relaunch the app. I like it because I can take a screen shot of my digital books and it’ll read it. It can’t read my actual digital book because it requires a login and the app doesn’t support it yet..Version: 2.2.5
✓ UninstalledNow you can only read for about 3 minutes at a time and then need to wait for 30 minutes. So greedy..Version: 1.2.3
✓ DisappointedVery disappointed in the speed of processing in this app. By the time it scans my text book my class will be graduated..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Horrible voiceoverIt works but I cannot stand the sound of the voices..Version: 1.4.1
✓ CrashingI’m currently having an issue that if I’m not in the app listening like I move to another application the reading stops. I’m trying to figure out if this app is worth it as I have the pro version and mostly enjoy it but it does frequently crash as well as there isn’t really any support listed from the app. I also have a reasonably sized library of pdfs downloaded to the app and it crashes when I try to select one to listen to or even just scroll through… I’m not really sure how to contact support for these issues as there is no inner app selection for support...Version: 2.2.12
✓ Pretty GoodIt’s not as intuitive as I like and the voices could be better but otherwise it’s pretty good. I’d like to be able to slow the voice down more as even on 1/2 speed it can be a bit fast for me. All in all a programme like this is a godsend..Version: 1.3.0
✓ It is just okI can’t read the clipboard anymore. It has been one or two months since I bought it and one week ago doesn’t load the clipboard anymore. I uninstalled it and nothing. There is no way to fix it and there is no support to at least troubleshooting. I can’t delete books from the library. The reading speed goes up to 2x. I mean. It reads to you but it is very limited. I need to find an app that reads faster and let me use the clipboard. I bought it because I needed to save time with this feature and I can’t use it anymore..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Kinda brokenGreat in theory, once you get over some of the idiosyncrasies of how it reads certain things. But there are some super basic elements here that are just busted. When you pause from the lock screen, it often doesn’t work. When you hit play from the lock screen or an earbud, usually you have to do it at least twice before it registers. Sometimes it’ll inexplicably play from two spots at once, making it incomprehensible. Fixing these issues would make this app immeasurably better. EDIT: now it often just randomly crashes and necessitates a full restart. It will also rewind by a few pages after this, so you have to hunt for your spot. Not worth it, look elsewhere..Version: 2.2.6
✓ The absolute worstAwful app it is completely dumb, thought this would be better than the other dumb readings apps but it is almost worse..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Too expensive… alternatives are cheaper.They have two versions… one where you have the same voice but no adds for a one time fee. The other is a pay per month… the costs for one month costs more than the one time fee..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Does what I need it toFor the most part I’m happy with this app, I got it after iOS removed the part of the text to speech feature that allowed iBooks to read books to you. I enjoy listening to books while I work, and this app allows me to listen to one’s I download from the web. My biggest complaint about the app is that it can’t access the iBooks library, so the hundreds of titles I have there I can’t listen to. Should the developer add a plugin to the app to access the iBooks library, I will likely increase my rating..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Not greatThe voices are not super clear, the app had a hard time clicking to read a different section when the formatting of the file/ book I needed to read wasn’t straight down which made it frustrating constantly trying to get it to click the next section I needed to read. Lastly, after a few months of using the pro + premium voices, I went to switch my membership to the basic pro plan thinking it was a one time charge for this feature but it turns out they charged me $8.99 for a one-time use and I’m gonna have to pay again to use it for the month and they have no app support/ anyone to talk to for questions..Version: 2.2.4
✓ App requires purchase on other same I’d devicesI paid for this app last year. At the time of purchase it was only a one time payment however now the app is asking for a monthly subscription which violates the agreement on which I first purchased the app at the time that it was a one time payment. I expect that original agreement to uphold and if the app developers want to make it a monthly subscription for new users then it’s in it’s right however I purchased the app on the agreement of a one time payment for the use of the app thus then I should not be charge a monthly fee and I expect the original agreement on which I purchased the app to be upheld. If someone can look into this and fix it it would be great. Thanks.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Je viens de le Dow loaderOn verra.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Not the bestThe voices available are terrible the woman’s voice is the only one that’s half decent and clear, the narration doesn’t seem to recognise punctuation, question marks. I’ve bought it now so I guess now I’m stuck with it, but I will not be a repeat customer..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Started great, ended badThe app was my favourite at first but the voices you pay extra for are limited text, I run out fairly quickly. There might not be ads but once I run out of the premium voice, it closes the app like crazy. I paid for two months and I will not be paying a third..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Way over priced.$12 a month to get voices that are actually understandable. Meh. Maybe for the app total. Subscription is way over priced..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Ads ruin itUninstalled immediately when I realized the reading would be interrupted by ads every couple of pages. Makes it impossible to get into the story. The robotic voice that doesn’t follow punctuation is tough enough to follow and the ads ruin it completely..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Why sell it with the naff voicesThe only reason people are buying this is for the decent voices. Immediate refund please..Version: 2.2.3
✓ CameraThe app needs some camera work.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Whats is thisThis is a really bad app so sad.Version: 2.2.6
✓ ReadingDoes not read correctly cannot understand.Version: 1.2.3
✓ I use this app all the time, here are a few bugs.So, I’m obsessed with this app. It’s a life saver. Fantastic. I use it for like 10+ hours every day. One major bugs I’ve noticed is that 9 times out of 10, when it reads the word “wow” the speed changes to 0.5x and can’t be changed without changing the reading spot. Also, I’d like to be able to have a settings menu for voice and speed on the Home Screen. That way I don’t need to adjust it every time I open a new book. Other than that, good gravy, keep chugging..Version: 2.4.0
✓ DemoI tried the app and it could read a single pdf or webpage I tried. Waste of time..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Great when it worksIt’s very handy to listen to a book when doing other things however the app keeps crashing after about 30 minutes of use. Please fix!.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Subscription is limited to charactersI have paid for premium voices. A few days in it has stopped working and says I’ve reached the character limit. Nowhere said there was a character limit. Nowhere. It’s now useless..Version: 2.3.2
✓ AlrightGood app but didn’t last me 10 min before they wanted payment. Voices are robotic too.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Website reader doesn’t work, JavaScript errorWebsite reader gives JavaScript exception error. Other imported pdf docs work fine. But need to fix website reader. Then this app will get 10/10.Version: 2.0.1
✓ I paid for the pro alreadyIt says i havent paid for it.Version: 2.2.6
✓ HorribleDon't even bother downloading it, it reads without bothering about punctuation. You end up with phrases that make no sense. The scanning feature is also messed up wether you're on tablet or phone. Sometimes it can even end up skipping whole sentences. It will take you less time reading the book than waiting for the ads to play. Horrible..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Croatian Serbian?It says that supports Croatian , Serbian, Macedonian , language but it doesn’t ?.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Useful but with a ton of adsThis is a simple read aloud AP. The main thing I don’t like about it is the Advertisements which turn on every two or five minutes of reading. The Ap will not allow you to continue using the Ap unless you watch the entire advertisement. Some of these advertisements can be lengthy. If you shut down the Ap when it prompts you to watch an advertisement to continue then the Ap will prompt you to watch the advertisement to continue. It doesn’t automatically play advertisements. You have to select play advertisement to continue the read aloud function of the Ap. The other thing I don’t like about the Ap is the “begin reading here” function. The Ap will begin reading from the place you point but the chances of getting the first sentence correct is not 100 percent. The Ap will read a sentence: “Jack went up the hill,” as “J a c k went up the hill”..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Bait & SwitchI loved this app so much that I paid an $8.99 upgrade to get enhanced voices. Now, it turns out that that deal has changed … Now, they want $10 every month or my enhanced voices are gone? Actually, they are already gone. Talk about, “bait & switch”! This is the second app that’s done this! It just means that I must stop using this app, too! Hopefully, somebody else will make one I can buy outright (again?). Apple doesn’t appear to care or do anything about this kind of questionable activity? That lack of ethics on Apple’s part will weigh heavily on my mind when I consider upgrading my iPhone 12 Pro Max! I live on $700 a month (retired) so, I can’t afford to pay again with monthly rentals for apps that I previously bought, outright? It’s like having the mortgage company contact me to tell me that the home I’ve paid them for is now going to be their rental property for ever or else I must leave it? This can’t be legal! If Apple does this then I’m done with Apple, period … not that I’d have much choice. Steve must be spinning as the universe he created, tips to the dark side by greedy app developers?.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Not happyThis app is totally mercenary in its execution. It states that it has ‘free’ voices which turns out are limited in their actual servicability. Then it limits the amount of time that you can listen to to about five minutes (unless you watch constant adverts, and who can do that when you are listening when you are engaged in something else!). Then you have two tiers of paid. One that doesn’t really give you any functionality and one that works out at approximately £100 per year. They ought to be honest and state that this is a paid app rather than misleadingly stating that this is a free app with paid options!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Needs some workI have the “pro” version of this app, which I paid $8.99 for. That is supposed to come with “background playback” which has been inconsistently available to me. Often, the audio will stop if my phone screen turns off or I switch apps, which makes this app essentially unusable. It’s also frustrating that there’s no way to bookmark audio. The app is constantly losing my place in multichapter EPUB files and I have to browse for a while to figure out where I left off. The standard (non-premium) voices are more robotic than many other free voices available on other apps. If the developers improved these voices or even offered a non-subscription premium voice to buy for a reasonable cost, I’d raise my review. I’d appreciate if there were more settings available for voices, such as pitch and sentence pause. I’d like more customization to make the voices more lifelike, if they can’t be improved globally. If I hadn’t paid for the Pro version, I’d be pleased enough with the quality of this as a free app. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for some updates that improve its features..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Majorly disappointed.I purchased the subscription that’s $10 a MONTH because the premium voices are so much better and I’ve been using this app daily while working to listen to all my favorite books. I already felt like that was quite a lot to ask for an app but felt it would be worth it considering how much I’m using it. I went to use it today and found out there’s apparently a character limit for the premium voices, so I’m paying for a subscription I can’t even use for another two weeks now. I’m incredibly disappointed because the premium subscription option is clearly a scam. I shouldn’t be blocked from using the features I’m PAYING FOR. If I could give this zero stars I would..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Not so great at itI took a picture of the article in a newspaper there was a picture in the Center but the article wraparound it but it was skipping from left column to right column and so it made no sense I thought it would help my husband who can’t read very well but this isn’t good at all..Version: 1.3.0
✓ If your not willing to go premium, it’s scummy…The app is great! Everything works as should. But if your planning to stay free to use, have fun. I don’t know the specific amount of time but if you don’t go premium the app will go, “you’ve reach your free reading limit.” So you either pay premium or watch an ad, and that just loops. Hoping to take screenshots and read it out loud to you? Sorry… you can only take 15 photos….. but hey— if you Just buy the premium version and you can take unlimited! Those are the only other tools I used before uninstalling so idk if there’s anything else but still. If your maybe a student or someone who just needs it here or just not willing to pay in general don’t get this app. Sadly idk what other app would be better..Version: 2.0.1
✓ After a few pages, it is asking to upgrade to a paying version.I expected a bit more.Version: 1.3.0
✓ App has some great functions but serious drawbacksI like the fact that it continues playback even when you unplug headphones, and then ‘play from here’ and ‘previous position’ buttons are great too. I also like the clipboard read and website read as well as the versatility to read all formats. However it will jump around a lot. This is a serious problem for regular readers; if you are in the middle of chapter 6 it might jump back to chapter 2 randomly and you won’t notice until the text starts to sound familiar. This problem will repeat over and over again in certain texts..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Requires you to watch ads to listen for freeGreat reader but not free to use, there are also different levels of voices but the basic voice still requires you to watch an ad every couple minutes..Version: 2.2.11
✓ Too CleanI kind of misses any kind functionalities, but it’s cleaner and it actually works consistently now which is great. The one issue I do have which is just cosmetic that it doesn’t tell you how much time is left with the book which it used(I might be confused with another program) but it does not have the functionality. Also, I wish I had the ability to select text and then repeat that text over and over (memory aid). I also wish it had underlining and highlight functionality..Version: 2.2.11
✓ Doesn’t workIt just wont work it keeps saying a javascript error occured.Version: 1.3.0
✓ PaulRead too fast and mechanical, even when slow to 1/2 the reading speed. Over priced compared to other similar products on the market..Version: 1.2.3
✓ I’ve paid and it only read one page? WANT MY MONEY BACKI’ve paid and it only read one page? WANT MY MONEY BACK.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Not free.You can read about 4 pages for free and then a pop up will appear, and won’t allow you to use it anymore unless you pay..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Free versionI’m unable to purchase the paid version. I don’t mind ads if a program is reasonable and we’ll done. This program is excellent in most ways. Ads are to the point it seems a pain. Understand that I will watch many more ads on any program if I enjoy using it. Thirty minute wait rather than an ad option? That’s a dealbreaker. Kind of like changing channel on a station and never going back. The paid version may be wonderful but if the free version gets frustrating, why would I trust the paid version? Maybe if I can afford it someday I’ll try it. But probably not because I’m not using it much. Once it puts me on 30 minute wait I leave..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great but purchased and premium voices still not selectable:-( ive tried to restore purchase to no avail. So pleased with this app for not being subscription based, please work!!.Version: 2.2.10
✓ TerribleTerrible app.Version: 2.2.12
✓ Not the bestIt’s doesn’t work all the voices are horrible and it doesn’t even start on the word I would of like it to be one.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Lots of potential, small issuesWith some tweaks this could be a go-to app but a couple of issues limit it to 3 stars for me. 1. There isn’t a share feature from other apps. The primary thing that I want to do is read from web pages and to do so I have to manually copy urls from a browser and paste them into this app. Extra and unnecessary steps but not a deal breaker since it does perform well. 2. If you are reading something lengthy that you won’t be able to finish in one session, you better hope you remember where you stopped because chances are you will have nothing but a blank screen when you try to return to the app. Definitely need a way to save what you are reading to be able to return to it (and also the option to discard when done). 3. Keeping links active once a page is processed for reading would be very helpful for multi page articles. You do have the option to return to a version of the original page but again, extra and unnecessary step. 4. Include an option to “edit” the pronunciation of words and this could easily become a 5 star app. Looking forward to future updates..Version: 1.0.5
✓ FonctionnelFonctionne très bien,mais une pub par page si vous prenez la version gratuite.Version: 1.1.3
✓ UselessCan’t do anything with it except listen to three books I have no interest in at all, not even close to what I need or want and certainly bears no resemblance to the images on the app info.Version: 2.2.5
