Their intro setup is NEEDLESSLY long.Hey, downloaded this to try listening to paragraphs of text while riding a lawn mower… they literally put me through like 15 minutes of setup for the app AND THEN we’re getting me to create an account after all that. NEEDLESSLY wordy on their setup process and it deterred me from the product itself.

Stay awayDon’t bother with this app advert shows a man taking a photo of book then the app reading said book false advertising at its best

Xz123, Sep 4, 2026

Horrible confusing appDon’t waste your money. It will be hard to use. Kindle does not allow it to read certain things. When you do get to read or listen to a book it will skip complete sentences or paragraphs and mispronounce words. Very difficult to cancel. Customer service is ridiculous and will not get back to you for…
