    I purchased this app and paid to unlock premium voices, but they took them away and made the app subscription only. Way to scam and alienate your loyal users.

    I loaded a book in PDF format, but the play button is grayed out and will not engage. I cannot find the information to get past this obstacle anywhere.

    Like other reviewers, I paid for advanced voices and have used them for several years. They have just been taken away. They now want a subscription for something I already paid for. Seems like this fraud/theft should be illegal. I’m looking for a way to report it to Apple. Unfortunately, Apple only benefits from more subscriptions that people forget to turn off. Ugh. I just reported them to Apple, which you can do by scrolling down to the report a problem link at the bottom of this page. Just took a moment. I encourage you to do the same. Use the words fraud, theft, etc..

    Can’t even use without signing up for the trial. You guys just want us to forget so you can charge us.

    Suddenly, I was using the app and then was told I had to pay for the voice I was already using for the past several years and it was now a subscription.

    $70/year after a one week free trial ends? In this economy? I think not. No idea if it works well because at that price I wouldn’t use it even if it were a godsend.

    I paid for the Heather voice which is a natural sounding human voice. They took it away and gave you all awful AI ROBOT voices! They lie and say “we are fixing it”. No they are not. They have STOLEN something I bought and only the suckers who are just now finding this app think robot voices are fine. This app is USELESS! Do not buy!!!

    I did the trial and already had problems - iCloud was on and files that I add in computer Voice Dream app weren’t showing on my phone app with same email account. I had to text myself the PDFs to then add to Voice Dream app on my phone. The same day the trial was over the app started to crash and not open. I contacted Costumer Service right away and they still haven’t answered. I contacted Apple Store and asked for a refund and they denied. So now I’ve paid $79 for an app that does not work. I deleted the app, reinstalled twice and didn’t work. Two days later it worked (today) but now all the files I had on my account aren’t there anymore. I’m traveling, don’t have my computer with me, so I can’t access any of my files. This app is beyond frustrating. Not to mention the voices aren’t very clear. I just started a trial on “Speechify” and I’m blown away with the quality and functions of the app. Would rather spend $139 and have an app that works than $79 and have a broken one that I can’t even use. For reference my trial ended on Feb 1, 2025. Today is Feb 3, 2025. They stole my money and didn’t provide what they promised. Run away from this app!
