Ratings and reviews

I don't understand, this app doesn't work as it used to. First it forcefully captured the media volume button, and now the little figure at the bottom right disappeared and I don't know how to change accessibility volume because it's not visible. Can you just give us the old version from 6 months prior? Maybe don't fix something that is not broken? Thanks!

This is only thing I hate about the phone !! trying to get phone open to turn it off. then to figure out how to turn it off. even then, with phone locked, knowing how to turn it off it was a fiasco. would like to disable it! ok after reading some of the settings I see what it can be used for. that would be neat. I just don't like to accidentally turn it on while in the middle of something else, I don't like being able to access it from home screen . it's to easy to hit by mistake. .

Don't know why after selecting words and clicking right button for it to read but no sound at all, but you can find setting of text size and speed. My phone is working well, only it cannot. It had this sound many months ago when I used it. Recently it has not had. I am thinking to delete it for saving phone space since no use at all if no one can help me with solving this problem.
