Ratings and reviews

I downloaded this app and proceeded to use it. Well, the automated voice started talking and continued to talk throughout the whole time I was trying to do other things with other apps!! I couldn't get it to shut up!! And then when adjusting the volume buttons the voice started talking faster and faster and faster!!! I couldn't wait until I could figure out how I could shut that voice off!! I finally did and ahhh!!! Peace again! This app may be great for some people but I am not one of them

Whenever I play a video on Facebook, the TalkBack continuously speaks and does not shows the option to revind, pause and forward any video properly. Along with tha5.t, it does not read the name of a particular video properly whenever I scroll on Facebook to play it. These are the most common accessibility bugs. Kindly investigate and resolve these issues.

Can't stand this privacy and control seeking app. TalkBack is awful, slower than molasses and is just too robotic like that it's almost creepy. This is nothing but pre-installed BLOATWARE that should be a choice download rather than pre installed system app that's bogging down my storage GB and system RAM. You can't even base the memory allocation of a device upon what information is displayed or advertised, good third of that is consumed by useless pre installs and unnecessary "system" apps.
