The TTS works great for most stories. I definitely love the multiple voices that are used, it helps break up the monotony of usual TTS. The ability to access different site is a great feature, especially since it allows a place to see many stories from one location. The main problems I have been having is the computer has been sometimes been not detecting all the parts of a chapter especially chapters that are longer it just cuts the end off which when I realized made me understand why I wasn’t fully understanding the story at times. The second main issue I have been having is when I am listening though headphones and I quickly pause and play over and over it glitches out and forcefully disconnects my headphones from the phone, this might be a minor issue or just on me but I have noticed that it only happens in this app. The third issue I get is it sometimes just decides to stop playing when you don’t have the app in the foreground of your device and have the device unlocked, this issue resolves itself when I restart the app but it does get annoying at times. But overall I do love the app it gives me the chance to listen to stories I would usually have to read while I get things done or while I am at work. So I do recommend this to others.

This is a good TTS app but it needs a few improvements. First, settings like Voice Rate are hard to control. The difference between 0.52 and 0.58 is significant but it’s incredibly difficult to move the slider that small amount. Second, the general GUI could be rethought. The elements at the top of the screen when you’re reading a book are too squished together. I find myself clicking on everything trying to find the control I’m looking for, and that includes on other screens as well. Third, the Royal Road website doesn’t function properly (can’t click the site menu to get to the search page). I can’t tell if the embedded browser is broken or if this app’s overlays are blocking the menu button. The workaround is to use your normal browser to find the story then paste the link into the app. Fourth, it randomly stops reading, seemingly normally near the end of a chapter. This doesn’t happen very often and it’s trivial to resume, but it happens just often enough to note it here (this isn’t the sleep timer going off). One thing I like is the 2nd voice for quoted sections. That makes it easier to tell when a character is thinking to himself or talking out loud. The voice doesn’t change for all quoted sections… but when it does it’s a nice break from the main voice. As all you TTS users know, a single voice can drone on and on. Having two voices makes the TTS less annoying over the long term. Also the ads are short enough and infrequent enough to not be annoying. It took me a few tries to realize you cannot put a Royal Road book’s main page on your bookshelf. Instead you have to go to the first chapter directly in order to download it. Thanks for making this app. Edit: Newest update fixes the controls. Thanks for taking my feedback into account.

In truth I do not use the TTS voice at all, instead I use this app to download web novels locally to read. I have been using it for 2+ years and it is fantastic for me! It will search and download any new chapters from the numerous stories I follow, it handles multiple different sites, and stores them locally without taking up much storage space.I cannot express how happy I am keeping up-to-date with my stories and being able to keep chapters even if the author removes them from the original website. I love to use folders for novels and bookmarks and the built in backup feature is nice to have.Best of all is the app is always improving. Go check the past versions and read the update notes. This if the first app where if a bug bothers me, I know they will fix it before too long.

I no longer have to listen to all the menu settings! The main issue I have had with this app has been fixed, thank you. I also like that it will automatically play the next chapter.
