vBookz PDF Voice Reader App Reviews

I purchased this app a year ago. I opened a pdf this morning and the app read the first page. Afterwards, it prompted me to buy the app again. Nowhere does it state the app is only good for a year. Going with another app.

Then pay $5 to read?!?! No thank you

So frustrating, Im sick of all the false advertising of apps. Waste so much of a persons time!

I hate reading and this app makes it a lot easier to enjoy reading while listening at the same time. Easy to use. Has some misread words and doesnt know how to slow down between title and paragraphs but its manageable to adapt to it. Other than that its a great tool for all your PDFs and books/textbooks in PDF format.

Was going to use it for online book reading, on top of original price had to pay for international version. This app would not open even single book I wanted to read! Dont buy!!!

I like the app overall, its helping with getting through my research reading, however both the British and US accents have poor pronunciation of f which makes comprehension hard. Would be better to be able to highlight and make notes too...

Seems like a great product. But DO NOT get the in-app purchase for English. It charges you the $4.99, but does not actually work. It continues to want you to purchase again. Even though you can log into iTunes and see that your purchase went through. Horrible developer.

Crashed while I loaded my physics textbook...

Just bought ($4.99!) what I thought was going to be great app, but it just keeps crashing. After a file has been opened, crashes (closing), and reopened, several times, it will start reading aloud, but then it crashes and closes. Bummed.

I am studying for my CHA and this is allowing me to drive and listen to the PDF study material. Woot!

Love this app, voice takes a little getting used to, and it occasionally does odd things, mispronounces, "comma", "dash", rereads titles and page numbers at the top of the page. Some of it might be my using it as an audio book... But for 5$ nothing Ive found in the App Store comes close. I use this app to read just about everything, great for getting through large amounts of information. Does less well at poetry, dramatic readings, and anything technical with a lot of diagrams. Even with the problems you get more then you pay for with this app.

In general this is a great app. However, a couple of tweaks are needed. First and foremost, I need a way to display the titles in my library more clearly. I simply cannot read the titles of the books and have to tap on each one to see its title. Second, I cannot figure out how to make it stop reading the header and footer on each page. That function is supposedly there, but I cannot do it. Third, I need a way to delete changed pronunciations. Otherwise, though this meets my needs very well. It reads to me in the car while Im driving on my long commute, so that time is no longer wasted.

Only reads first page, wont do anything else. Waste of time.

I got this app to help with my studies as I have to read a lot of material for college and a lot of that material barely holds my attention. I recommend this for students who have a tough time sitting down to read. It has helped a lot! No problems with the app, however, it may benefit for some smoother voices. At times it sounds a little unnatural but it gets the job done.

This app is not really free.

Terrible robotic, hard to understand voice, once youve spent your five dollars. It makes reading more difficult actually because the voice is so confusing

Great to have audio capability for my PDFs.

I just love to be able to listen to whole novels that I get online for free! I am currently listening to one in Portuguese, to polish my knowledge and my ear with the language. It is not perfect, sometimes it does not pronounce things just right, but still, to be able to work around the house for hours listening to a good book, that to me is very well deserving of those four stars, oh yes!

The app is a complete misrepresentation. It is not free. The only thing you got to listen to for free are there couple of PDF that they will read for you. Dont get me wrong. I buy up all the time. What an upgrade is warranted and a product has shown that it is doing the job it was designed to do, I am the first one to purchase it. But I get very ticked off, as do many others, what an app advertises itself is free but is as useless as a brick unless you pay for it. Its false advertising, it destroys my trust and theres no way I will ever purchase something that starts off as a scam.

I imported a PDF to read aloud. It read the title page and then said I need to purchase the full version. Well why would I give my hard earned money to someone who just mislead me? Ill pass thanks
