I really like this app. The voices are realistic, and I use it to read books that aren't available on audible. the problem that I have is that after the free trial, it won't let me buy the whole year package. It is the only affordable way to use this app as when it's free, you only get about 5 minutes of free listening time a day. now that I've done the free trial, the only option for me is to do the weekly payment, which is just not sustainable for the average person to pay. otherwise, 5 stars

This app has huge potential, but obvious bugs make it useless. The speech is very natural, one of the best I've heard from an app. Unfortunately, unless you keep the app in the foreground and screen on, it pauses after a few paragraphs. (I suspect that it's failed to request some permission that media players need to keep running in the background.) This means that, if your use case is listening to documents on the go, it's no good. Fortunately this problem was obvious during the free trial!

Garbage, literally pauses for 3 seconds at every period can't seem to figure out a way to change this and when it starts playing something it won't stop playing it there's no way to pause, it feels like a bug cause that can't be intentional. Anyway I pasted a book and was trying to listen to it but it literally would pause for 3 seconds at every period and then I couldn't get it to stop and it was constantly running in the background even when I force close the app, uninstalled
