Love this app! It lets me listen to what I'm in the middle of reading while doing other things, so that I don't have to choose between my fanfics and cleaning, lol. British voice is so realistic, somehow having inflections for questions, etc. It also gives the option to correct its pronunciation. It has changed my life, TBH. It's made my digital textbooks more accessible to my ADHD brain, and I've been letting the app read me to sleep, too. 5 stars! No, 10!

I like this app. Don't misunderstand me. This app is worth paying for. It really helps with reading for research while on the go. After I paid, my TTS settings got reset to an American English male voice. When I tried to put the settings back, I couldn't find the voice I had been using, which was British English & male. The closest one I can find has an issue where it fluctuates between insect-like high pitch and a regular pitch. So, that's really annoying, but I suppose I'll get used to it. 😒

This app is perfection; I'm going to the paid version now. Because: 1. Share to read immediately or add to list for later. 2. The ability to customize the pronunciation of certain words or acronyms is perfect for technical articles. 3. Choice of voice, pitch, rate, etc, saves so much time. 4. Ability to sync from pocket and by tags is perfect. 5. The UI scrolls along with the reading which allows for much better time scrubbing. (Pocket just removed this from their UI; awful.) 6. Option to read through with the bell between articles. Perfect for commute. Developers, it's practically perfect, please don't succumb to Material Design or other much less efficient UI choices. Its current feature set and robust configuration options mean it is a somewhat complex app and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Many apps are trying to put form ahead of function and the result is just useless 9 times out of 10 (Pocket, Kindle, Linux Academy, YouTube). So, please, trust your instincts and don't neuter an app that is an incredibly useful daily-driver for many of us. Thank you
