This app is useful & has helped me get through many books. The only issue I have is the pronunciation corrections don't always work. E.g., "punishment" is pronounced by the app as "poo-nish-eh-ment", it won't stop saying "Street" instead of "Saint", stuff like that. Nothing I tried fixes it, even though corrections I made work in the editor. It's very frustrating when it happens repeatedly. Overall, it's a helpful app, but I wish it would use all of my edited pronunciations, not just some.

Considering all the other ones in the market are pretty crappy, this app is fair game. It sounds monotonous at first but if you play and tune the pitches, speed, pauses, voice, etc. You'll eventually find the right wavelength that doesnt make you cringe. Pdf with pictures doesnt usually work, youd have to somehow convert it into text first. Hope this helps

I updated and it killed my library and kept crashing. My mistake was not backing up before uninstalled. I thought it would ask if I wanted to clear all files or keep my library. I had to get a downgraded apk. It also changed all the libraries progress to index. Also no longer updates progress of chapters not sure how to fix the progress tracking. Also can't verify cloudflare anymore. I had been waiting and hoping to edit my previous review! You have redeemed your self! Love the additions!!!

Been using this app for years. It reads ebooks, articles, PDFs, webpages, it amazing. Usually automatically. Sometimes you have to tell it what you want to be included in the text that's being read to you, like pictures, etcetera. And that's a great option to have in a reader app. You can customize it to your liking. It's a huge time saver. Definitely worth getting.

After you learn the controls, this app is great for turning downloaded books into audio books. I only get ads when I'm reading from the app, never any when I'm just listening with my headphones with the screen off. I recently had a problem with ads popping up and increasing the volume. It usually happens when I'm reading with app, I turn the volume all the way down and then an ad pops up playing audio. I don't know how to fix that.

This app has been fantastic for helping me proofread. Listening to what I write as I read it helps me find problems better. Oddly, the last few days it has started freezing up after reading an article. I end up having to uninstall and reinstall to get it to read again, and then I have to reset all my settings. Even with that inconvenience, it's still awesome.

I have used it for years but I use a separate app and paid for a couple voices. For what ever reason the basic voice not the pro works better when you do that. You can change pronunciation and even though I'm American, I use a British accent to combat that digital sound and funny enough it changes words on its own to the British version. Like boot for trunk and things. Kinda cool. I use the eReader app for .epub and .mobi file types, every day, all day.

This app has a confusing user interface, but I used it happily for years because it worked with all sorts of text sources and had solid voices in many languages. I don't know what changed, but now it constantly stalls, freezes, shuts down, and takes forever to load pages and reading lists. Cache clearing and reinstallation didn't fix the problems. I have uninstalled it and am looking for an alternative.

The only redeeming factor about this app is that it's free. The read-aloud function will play at a hair trigger, even when you are just tabbing through chapters. It's hard to search a document because the app locks you to the text that the app is currently reading. Also, the app will lose your place when you close the app, so you can expect to do a lot of searching.

love the app, it's very useful. can you add a feature where I can have the control panel (pause, skip line, rewind) overlay while I use other apps? the drop down menu is nice but I'd like the option for quicker access. it's like how YouTube has PiP(picture-in-picture) so you can watch videos while doing other things on your phone
