This app has a lot of potential, but it could use some improvements. For one, I constantly have problems with uploading on my phone, paryicularly for larger PDFs. A lot of the time an upload gets stuck at 90% and then eventually fails. A couple times it's been stuck at 90% then I retry and it ends up uploading the PDF twice. The voices are a bit robotic compared to the latest advancements in text to speech, and often the word tracking gets out of sync with the audio after a couple minutes.
