Who it's for

This app is for users who need a variety of text-to-speech voices for content creation like YouTube videos or presentations and are willing to tolerate frequent ads or pay for a premium subscription R1R12R24. It is not for users who expect a completely free, ad-free experience, or those who need a highly stable and bug-free application R4R6R13R111.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding ads, bugs, and the paywall. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment suggests a significant decline in user satisfaction, possibly due to recent changes in monetization and app stability. The developer's notes mention a 'fully rebuilt' app and 'simpler, more intuitive interface,' but reviews contradict claims of increased stability and ease of use, with many reporting more bugs and a restrictive experience.

  10. [R23] 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

[R28] 1/5 · US Premium🙄: Estaba planeando mi primer video estaba buscando la voz que ocupaba todo bien hasta ahi pero cuando puse mexico me di cuenta que todas casi todas las voces de ese pais son PREMIUM exeptando 2 voces que no suenan bien No lo recomiendo al menos que sea tu última opción para editar un video
  12. [R46] 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

  15. [R27] 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
  16. [R31] 3/5 · US Glitchy: The voice in this app is glitching like stuttering, and some phrases are being repeated without commanding to do so
  17. [R20] 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. [R49] 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
  19. [R82] 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
  20. [R91] 1/5 · US To far: Ok, I get this is a free app so there are in store purchases but this is to much, first, I got this app mainly for the text to speech function, after one use I was hit with an add, I look at the voices most of them are subscription only and after my fourth use of the text to speech function, the apps main function? I get “locked out” it tells me I can only use the feature 4 times every 90
  21. [R40] 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
  22. [R47] 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.
  23. [R73] 1/5 · US Once a hands down favorite..: You know, at one time, this was my most favorite go-to app for assigning different voices to different tasks. However, you have completely ruined and destroyed it, and you have lost a loyal follower. It's been real, and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.
  24. [R254] 3/5 · GB Old version used to be much better :(: Shame as I loved using this app for videos specifically the voice “Esperanza” (Spanish- Mexico), this voice was actually used in a tiktok trend (“sita/ sito trend”) but now it appears that voice has been removed which is extremely disappointing, a lot of the stuff is now premium too :(
  25. [R32] 1/5 · US No tiene la voz de Miguel: Me encanta esa voz y queria usarla pero ni esta en free ni de pago vaya...
  26. [R15] 5/5 · US Plz help what is going onn: So I have first discovered this app in 2020, and I have been using this as my Main TTS app for a while. So I have not used this app since like January or February or something and I was trying to enter the app but it is not opening. I can't even open the app. Every time I try to click on the app it just doesn't let me in at all. I thought smth was wrong with my apps but
  27. [R21] 1/5 · US Can’t work: Won’t load :(
  28. [R7] 5/5 · US Needs more voiceforge: Voiceforge I’m so happy for the app But I need some more
  29. [R9] 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.
