Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant App
This app provides an efficient and user friendly way of reading webpages and PDFs. The built-in web browser is easy to navigate and use, and the ability to save articles and documents into a playlist makes this app a convenient reading tool. Furthermore, features such as Touch Assist and Reader Mode enable the user to specify the content that they would like to be read aloud and skip extraneous content such as advertisements on webpages. The app is also fully accessible with the VoiceOver screen reader on iOS, meaning that it will work well for blind users. The app is constantly improving, and the developer responds promptly to feedback and suggestions. I would highly recommend this app and I look forward to finding out how it continues to develop in the future.
Nothing can touch this Text to Speech Engine
It have tried numerous other Text to Speech Solutions, but this stands in a class of it's own!
Poor execution
Great app but a bit of a buggy mess. Ao3 is ranked third most used site, but the saves don’t title any pages from that site properly. Frequently needs to be closed and reopened before it’ll play. Won’t restore purchases.
Developer Response ,
If you’re having issues with the app please contact me at contact@weboutloud.io. There is also a “report a problem” feature within the app. I will work with you to address the issues if you’d be so kind as to share some info with me like what iOS version you’re using, voice, etc.
You said that restore purchase is not working. I cant reproduce it but obviously it is something that I would want to fix immediately, so I’d definitely appreciate some details. Thanks
