If youre sitting on the fence at all about purchasing this app, dont wait, buy it now! You will not be unsatisfied!
Although I may have what could be called "user bias," because I have been using this app for so many years that I dont know how I would live without it!
This app, its companion app, and the voices that go along with them are perhaps one of the best investments you can make in apps from the App Store
I am a very persnickety person, and I have very particular sensibilities. Therefore, I would not recommend just any app. Trust me – this app and its companions are the real thing! Truly, the developer has a niche Jewel that he could over charge for, like some other developers do, ripping us all off with apps over $20. This app, and the price point it maintains, are very much a worthwhile purchase.
That said, however, I would not pay a penny more than $20 for this app and its companion apps. Although, I have invested more money in the voices, which are sold separately, for the most part, because they allow me to customize my user experience with different voices, still at a reasonable price.
Also, to address a previous reviewers comments about this app being "garbage," one must always keep in mind the old adage: GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT. As a user with reading disabilities, I can tell you that most websites are NOT optimized for web readers such as this app. A web developer must code his or her site properly in order for it to be read properly by a website reader.
For example, the web developer can, and should, indicate in what order the website should be read by an electronic web reader or other accessibility tool. As well, the web developer must indicate for the electronic web reader what items are graphics and what items are pictures, and name each one in the process to describe what it is.
It is fully NOT the responsibility of this Voice Dream app developer that most websites are not accessibility friendly. This means that this app is in no way responsible for the "garbage" that was put into it by the other reviewer.
As an aside, I do feel strongly that developers who gouge the market with their apps selling over $20, show very little respect for the iOS app buyer. This app, and the price point that it maintains, prove that a developer can make a reasonable profit while still having enough resources to develop a great app!
