Ratings and reviews

The type of device/OS you're using will determine whether your experience is good or bad. On Android, this is at best average. File import/TTS work with local Android voices. Can't get Microsoft Azure to work even with the correct API key, region. I can see the voices, but never works. I also tried on an iPhone with the same API key and it worked. Something is wrong with the Android app and connecting to Azure. Also, iOS has Google AI setup options. I can't rate this higher until Azure is fixed.

So far, not bad. I wish there was a way to import or add websites in bulk or to read. the sync to pocket does not seem to work properly. I was hoping to use this app to read web novels (some are hundreds and thousands of pages). So the current option or process to add even one page is too cumbersome. If there was a way to import or add sites in bulk or a little easier, this would be an easy 5 rating and would definitely push it to the web novel community.

This app is bugged on my s22 Ultra. Every time I click on settings, the voice randomly changes. Also, the voice will suddenly change throughout the reading. It's also hard to distinguish which voice to choose from as they're all basically named the same thing in a large voice list from your phone, so it's difficult to find the ones you like unless you memorize the exact spot. While I appreciate the owner's efforts, how can you not expect people to leave bad reviews if it doesn't work properly?
