Having a crashing problem.
So this app has worked for me really well since I first downloaded it. It would sometimes crash when I tried to open it, but then would open the second time, so I didn’t see a problem. Now it crashes whenever I try to open it. It sits there like it’s trying to load up the app like it always did, then just closes after about 16 to 18 seconds. The only thing I know that’s different is that I copied about ten 3 to 5 hour long text files in, and put them in a folder. Not sure if the app just can’t handle loading that much or if it’s something completely different, but I hope it gets fixed soon. Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this issue, and sorry to hear that this crash has been repeated multiple times in your experience. ReadBit is designed to handle 3-5 hour long text files (and even more), so there might be another cause to this crash. We would like to resolve it as soon as possible, so if you can email us the details of the issue (file format, screen recordings, any additional information) at readbit@mediate.tech, we can help you faster. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
The ReadBit Team
NEED A LIFETIME PAYMENT OPTION!
I can’t fully get into ReadBit because of the subscription pricing! The idea sounds great, but I don’t really know what ReadBit gives me that Voice Dream Reader doesn’t! Why? Because being a disabled senior won’t allow for all these app subscriptions so prevalent today!?i seriously need a LIFETIME payment option! If there was a LIFETIME payment option, I would jump on it right away! I just can’t take on all these app subscriptions!? Won’t you PLEASE consider a Lifetime pay option? I think the subscription payment should go into hiding! I know developers need to get pay for what they build, but the iOS PLATFORM’S gone crazy with the subscription model! And, what does ReadBit give me over Voice Dream Reader and such apps? Until something is done about the subscription model, I take away stars! I would like to use this app but the subscription payment is not for me, unfortunately! PLEASE set a Lifetime payment option! I am waiting! THANKS! DEVELOPER, would you please address! Please don’t ignore this review! Thanks!
Developer Response ,
Dear User, thanks for sharing your concern with us. We hear you and we're sorry that this is not the ideal solution for you. We would also like to inform you further on why we need to have a subscription. We work with external servers to provide natural voices in ReadBit, and those servers charge us for this voices based on word usage of our users. Our subscription plans that offer natural voice words are priced based on those costs we face to make our business sustainable. We hope to find new solutions in the future to make ReadBit more affordable and accessible for our wider community of users. In the meantime, we'd kindly like to remind you that you can earn up to 10,000 natural words by referring your friends in ReadBit. You can also reach out to us at readbit@mediate.tech to share more feedback about our app and let us improve your experience in the best way we can. Thank you for your understanding. All the best, The ReadBit Team
Lovely Reading Companion
I’m really glad that I found out about this app and can finally have the books that I already own as audiobooks. Sometimes while working on a thing, I wished I could resume my books as if I was listening to a podcast, but didn’t really want to be charged for a book I already own twice for the audio book version. Now I just scan several pages before switching to work and keep listening to my books. Once I’m done with my work, I just switch back to the book, and I don’t even need to worry about where I was since the app does a great job at showing where I was exactly.
