Ratings and reviews

very useful and very helpful. have been using for years, unfortunately lately it's been getting developed without fixing old bugs, can't put in more than 2.5 hours of text without it breaking, I would like to see up to 8 hours like it used to be without breaking. also the cost to remove ads is absurd, it should be a one time purchase and not a subscription. they did recently fix one of my biggest gripes with the app being unable to pause it by using the pause button on my devices, so cuddos

🌟 Wow! 🌟 You're seriously the coolest developer ever. Added this pause feature exactly as it should be in such a short time. Salutes 🫡 🔄 Repeating each sentence x time would make it perfect 🔄 I wasn't expecting such quality for the standard voices. The option for automatically removing unwanted characters like * and also being able to add your custom ones is really great and saves you from a very common headache in TTS apps. I try to open interesting ads, generating some revenue 🤞

This app is lightweight can copy paste text into it, to go over my writing to see whether I made any mistakes. Very simple and straightforward to use 2nd EDIT since the new update, app is resetting to the start of the document every time I minimize it to use browser. I'm using it listen to very long chapters so now I have to forward it to the general place I was at before. Thankfully I can just look to see how many minutes has elapsed so I can get it pretty close
