User Reviews
every single time I go to use it after not using it for more than a few hours, it no longer works and I have to reset it entirely every single time. when it does work, it works decently. it's not perfect but it's definitely better than some I've used in the past. definitely need some improvements because it has decent voice options, but after more than a few minutes they all end up sounding like the same computerized robots
Doesn't work in Chrome or in files. Forced to give permission to track your activity and give it control over your apps and track anything you do on your device, and the list of third party apps they share your data with, is alarming. Some are just developer tools and storage, many have very odd names and call for concern. I should be able to listen to a 31 page document when my eyes are sore, Google is supposed to be better than this.
It worked fine on the Pixel 6a, but on the 9a, there seems to be no way to make the floating icon appear. Instead, I had to add the "Reading mode" button to the Quick Settings menu. To use it, I have to pull down the quick settings menu all the way, go two columns to the right, enable it there, and then dismiss the menu. That makes the app far less useful. I don't know why Google broke it; it was okay the way it was.
used to be perfect! no ads, just reads my stories to me at the perfect speed I want at the time, easily adjustable. until one day it basically broke. Now, every period means a pause that lasts anywhere from 5-10 seconds, sometimes even more than 30 seconds! completely unusable. I don't understand why this happened suddenly n I did a bunch of things to try and fix it, even messing with my phone settings, but nothing. until that's fixed and addressed, I can't recommend this app at all.
