    The app DOES NOT SYNC so the documents are in perpetual "syncing" mode.

    How can I cancel my membership. There are various ways to start membership, but I can’t find any direct contact information or any cancellation information at all. I do not want to be charged for this app because I am not going to use it. Thanks

    As of 10/30/2024, Google drive refuses to share w voice dream cuz it grabs personal info. If these 2 apps are incompatible now , v d is useless to me & i must cancel my subscription . Was great app till now but hard no. Waste of $$ if I can’t put my docs in here. Figure out your privacy protections problems & fix your app!
  • Not very useful

    When the voice is reading the text or paragraph is not steady. Suddenly it gets stuck making robotic noises, very weird. Not always useful, unfortunately.
  • Not working anymore…

    The last 3x I’ve tried to use it … it stops after about 8 words. Pretty useless now. iPhone 12 user.
  • Do not use

    A core function of an audio app is being able to fast forward and rewind easily. PDFs being read cannot be fast forwarded through nor can I change the sections being read out. This renders the app genuinely useless and a total waste of money. Do not bother.
  • Awesome

  • Where are the voices?

    I’ve been using this app for nearly a decade. Originally, it offered more voices, including high-quality ones I purchased directly through the app. Over time, those voices disappeared, though that’s less of an issue now, as Siri and iOS voices have greatly improved. However, I can’t access Siri voices within the app. The interface has remained the same—clunky 10 years ago, and even more so now. Although iCloud storage of my books was always enabled by default, this time it wasn’t. I manually downloaded my books only to later realize that iCloud sync was off, so when I enabled it, the app downloaded the books again, duplicating the exact same files I’d just retrieved. Overall, the app feels tedious, with an outdated interface, and I’ve lost voices I’d paid for. Still, I’m rooting for this app to reach its full potential.
  • I can’t restore my purchase because it’s behind some survey thing

    I downloaded this app for my school work, but it didn’t help at all!! Everytime I used the scanner option it scanned my textbooks all weird. When it came to actually reading the text it would skip lines and go back to random words. HORRIBLE!
