  1. [R1] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US MUCHOS ANUNCIOS: Mas anuncios que voces
  2. [R6] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Good! But has too many ads: I like the app. It has a lot of good TTS voices. But the ads are popping up like every 5 swipes i do on the app.
  3. [R19] Narrator's Voice 2/5 · US No es tan buena :/: La mayoría de voces sobre todo en español cuestan dinero. Intenté pues ver las cosas en español y sólo había dos en cada idioma y eso es que y eso y que hay muy poquitos idiomas en el español en la app también el problema es que cae en sus que no se pueden saltar o al menos como que me salió uno que lo intenté quitar, pero no se pudo también que se ve que es muy viciosa la apli
  4. [R24] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Go ahead and take my money: Why are the ads so interruptive?
  5. [R3] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Repeats: this is a good app, especially voices but some bugs have got to be ironed out out with some of my Bible verses it keeps repeating several times that takes away the flow of the scriptures
  6. [R9] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Glitchy: The voice in this app is glitching like stuttering, and some phrases are being repeated without commanding to do so
  7. [R12] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Mejora la app: Muy buena la app pero por alguna razón está agregando efectos a lazar así que por favor corrijan ese bug extraño
  8. [R13] Narrator's Voice 2/5 · US The dang app wouldn’t load for no reason.: Everytime i try to open it, nothing happens, instead the screen is just loading forever. Please fix this now.
  9. [R4] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US LO PEOR NO LO DESCARGUEN ES UN FRAUDE: Descargue esta aplicación pero me robó más de 60 dólares disque subcripcion para un año y ni un libro puedo leer. Esto es una estafa por favor no lo descarguen tiene buenas voces pero quiere que compres puntos por qué se terminan prácticamente en nada. Me robó más de 60 dólares y de verdad espero que me reembolsen mi dinero. Que asco de aplicación
  10. [R15] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Used to be excellent: There was a big update a while ago and now the image to text doesn't work. That was the main feature I used and paid for on my other platform. I was going to buy it here but it's not useful to me anymore
  11. [R21] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Voz Jorge antigua: Antes la voz de Jorge la que ahora es jorge(chat) es mala, ya no suena igual cuando antes, antes era gratis y sonaba mejor, ahora tienes que pagar premium y suena mal, no me gusta para nada espero lo arreglen porque suenan mal las voces de Jorge premium, aparte era mucho mejor cuando eran gratis.
  12. [R14] Narrator's Voice 4/5 · US Jorge voice and limited settings: The app is great and all but something I dislike about this app is Jorge’s voice in Spanish language, is to loud and pitch and using editor apps like kenemaster doesn’t help at all, besides that the settings are very limited to fix this issue.
  13. [R18] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Interesting voices: This is just quick and short, but some like Michael 2 just sound curse basically out of a EMS broadcast message or something
  14. [R34] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US Evil: I don’t know what this app is but most of the free voices are straight up demonic. I’m not saying that bc of my religious views, but the voices genuinely freaked me out. They sound like they came straight out of an analogue horror. I immediately deleted it after hearing some of them.
  15. [R43] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US Just get another app.: I’ve only had the app for 10 minutes now and the voices are low quality and I feel like you would be better off just getting a better app or using Google translate it will only let me use it four times in a row and you have a character limit, kind of because it lets you type everything out it just won’t say everything and most of the voices cost money so if I were you, I wou
  16. [R30] Narrator's Voice 3/5 · US Need more limit word: I need to change the limit of 500 word to infinite please now they change the course of it. So now this new versions have 500 word limit now
  17. [R38] Narrator's Voice 5/5 · US only rating 5 so its up so let me just say this bruh: as someone who used this since 2020, i find it very irritating that this app is so undeveloped now when i come back. i literally only used this for infinite tts, now i cant use more than 10,000. hell i used to be able to use like 500k or whatever. now im limited? seriously???
  18. [R40] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US Deleting after 3 years: I’ve been paying my subscription and after i havent used it for a month, now its charging per letter lol, thats right, per letter. Will be deleting im not paying for something im already paying
  19. [R51] Voice Memos 1/5 · US Why I think you’re Should be delete it: Because you guys aren’t even doing nothing all you’re making us do is do wraps and stuff and then make it on that then you won’t even let us do it on YouTube so at least making a app where you can record yourself making song put it on your voicemails or your camera, then make a video then go on that one app and then make it together and then make another app
  20. [R52] Voice Memos 5/5 · US Thanks: 10/10 :)
  21. [R53] Voice Memos 3/5 · US Recording turns off for dumb reasons: I started recording 40 minutes ago and see that only 13 seconds were recorded. It's like, twice, you turn on the camera and it turns off, you start a video and it turns off. You lock the phone and it turns off! Fix this. · translated
  22. [R54] Voice Memos 1/5 · US Deleted voice memo: I had recorded the last conversation I had with my dad before he passed on here. I bought iCloud storage a few months after thinking the voice memo would sync and I wouldn’t ever lose it. During syncing, the voice memo was deleted and after contacting Apple was told they don’t know what happened and I haven’t been able to recover it since.
  23. [R65] Speechify 1/5 · US AI read books: The only voice I seem to be able to get is Samantha. She sounds exactly like AI and speaks too fast even at the slowest speed having her read a book is useless with her fast, nasal toneless voice. It appears if you want a decent voice you have to pay a month monthly fee. Unless you want to do this, don’t bother to download books unless you intend to read them and not listen to them
  24. [R66] Speechify 5/5 · US So far: So good
  25. [R67] Speechify 3/5 · US Decent But Not Great: AI tools are nice but not precise. - Numerous pronunciation errors with common words. - Scan tool is cool but processing takes too much time. Basically, scan some pages, go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home and listen to one of them. Go to bed, wake up, eat breakfast, go to work, listen to another page. - Free book collection is fair. Some dec
  26. [R68] Speechify 1/5 · US The quality got significantly worse after my free trial ended: I am a graduate student who needs to read 4-6 textbooks intermittently for each semester of my graduate course. I thought that this would be a good way to do so. I signed up for the free trial and decided I would pay for premium if I liked the quality. Those first three days of my free trial there were no issues. It was on the day that
  27. [R79] Voice Changer 1/5 · US Why it’s 1 star: You get a add like every ten seconds and like I was playing for like a minute and I got like 8 adds it’s not recommended
  28. [R80] Voice Changer 5/5 · US One question: Can you connect it when your calling someone to prank them
  29. [R81] Voice Changer 3/5 · US Don’t know how to prank call someone: How do you prank phone call someone with this app
  30. [R82] Voice Changer 1/5 · US Be aware, 18+ ads on a 4+ rating app: This app is targeted for kids and they show 18+ inappropriate ads in it. Be careful. Delete it from your kids devices.
  31. [R93] Voice Changer Plus 1/5 · US 1 star and that’s honestly being generous: I expected a mediocre distraction, but instead, I got a display of sheer incompetence. The advertising algorithm is apparently broken beyond repair, pushing 'religious-themed' content that is as inappropriate as it is desperate for attention. It’s tacky, it’s offensive, and frankly, it’s an insult to anyone with a functioning brain. If the developers put
  32. [R94] Voice Changer Plus 5/5 · US Needs updates: Timeless but needs new voices
  33. [R95] Voice Changer Plus 3/5 · US Minor issue: For some reason, the import button doesn’t work on Mac, and I don’t know why.
  34. [R96] Voice Changer Plus 1/5 · US Something: I mean it’s kind of fun but gets boring over time and SO MUCH ADS
  35. [R107] Text to Speech! 2/5 · US Glitchy already: I just downloaded this app cause of surgery so I can “talk” still and it’s already glitching out and making my keys stick
  36. [R108] Text to Speech! 4/5 · US Too simple: Its a great app but its much too simple
  37. [R109] Text to Speech! 3/5 · US Inconvenient to use: The app needs refinement regarding its UI settings and core functionality. Currently, you cannot copy text from the 'Starred' section. This is a major inconvenience because it prevents me from backing up or transferring important data before the app's auto-delete function triggers. Having to manually transcribe text that should be copyable is frustrating
  38. [R110] Text to Speech! 1/5 · US Ads: Annoying ads not good quality software but doesn’t say yeah very well
  39. [R22] Narrator's Voice 1/5 · US Buggy: Got premium and everytime I set it up with text to audio it tells me I don’t have enough credits but I have over 10k credits. I have to close the app and reopen it to make it work every single time. It’s broken. I want a refund or I’m disputing the charge
