My most used app, and also the only app I've ever donated money to. I have gotten so much out of this free app (hence the donation). I love that I can seamlessly switch between reading and being read to. It makes getting things done so much more pleasant, as I don't have to interrupt my book to do things like hanging laundry. When I'm not doing another task, I can switch from audio back right back to reading, unlike traditional audiobooks. I really can't praise this highly enough.

Absolutely amazing. Only pdf reader I'll use. This has features that i didn't know i needed but i ABSOLUTELY needed. My pdf in all readers interpret some words as "fi eld" instead of "field" and read it as "fie" "eld" but with this app i can add custom pronunciation to change it back to field so it doesn't keep happening. It's a bit of a pain to change a lot of words, but worth it (I'm reading a 500+ page book on electrical engineering, so fields come up a lot lol).

Recently there's been a glitch where I can't access the voices that I like from Google. It gets stuck on one voice and then I have to Uninstall it and then re install it and sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes it does. And I have to wait to see if it will. That's really getting annoying but beyond that I love this app. It just been like a problem for the last few weeks.

Uninstalling is probably not needed. Did you try restarting your phone? See more information here https://evoicereader.com/faq
