Text to Speech Reader: ReadBit

Positives: The text to speech is flawless. You can’t tell the difference between a human and the AI. Truly impressive. Natural reader, dream reader, and others don’t even compare. I will never use another app for this. I love the way it organizes the library Negatives: However, it randomly pauses sometimes. Understandable. It’s using the internet to interpret the text. But they need to dedicate more resources to this. It’s a problem sometimes. A bigger problem than other apps. It reads footnotes. I wish there was an option to cut out footnotes, page numbers, superscripts for citations, etc. The margin crop feature doesn’t seem to work Wish list for future updates: I would love it if they had the ability to download the entire book audio so I can listen on the train on my way to work. This is a feature most apps don’t have so this isn’t the fault of ReadBit I would love a chrome browser extension I wanted to put down some minor criticisms but I will never use another app for this. Even with those criticisms, this app is by far the best. I hope to see the company grow so they can add new features. I would even pay more for the features if they set up tiered subscription or something. Keep it up

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!

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!
