vBookz PDF Voice Reader App Reviews

This app says its free but it only lets you hear the first page after that u have to buy the voice.

I would really really really love to give this app five stars. I use it all the time and it has totally transformed the way I consume text books and other things that I cant find in audiobook format. Ive use this app for years. Yet there is one gaping problem. The navigation is very challenging. If you try to change where the cursor is reading, you can easily flip to the next page by accident. If you try to scroll through the pages using the slider at the bottom of the page, you can easily jump five or 10 pages ahead of where you are, totally losing your spot. Often, the slightest touch will mean you will lose your place with no way to find out where you were. I also find that the app does not have a great memory when it comes to interruptions. If you get a phone call while listening it will often start you over again at the last place you shut down the app. If youre listening quite a lot, this could mean when you start the app again you find yourself a dozen pages back. It would also be really helpful if there is a way to underline, highlight, or in someway Mark pages for important information. I read long text books with this app and ultimately theres no way to Mark important sections and return to them later. Amazing app, and if marketed well, this could be a game changer. However, as it is now its challenging.

Searched and tried various methods to turn reading material into audio that flowed pretty much like audible.com. This exceeds my expectations. As I can use other apps and work while listening. Pause, go back, toggle ahead .... Definitely worth every penny !!

I really like the header/footnote feature. One thing that I dont like is that theres not bookmark option.

only offers to read 1 Free page App is a lie and totally misrepresentation couldnt do anything unless I paid

You pay per language, it gives one free page. The app can be amazing, but it suffers a huge deficit in navigation. It starts at the beginning of the page, and does not allow you to place a curser over where you want it to begin. You cant tap the screen to see how much you have left to go because it flips to another page and starts there, then when you try to go back it starts from the beginning. It doesnt recognize chapters or section numbers and references - reads numbers and you cant skip over. Very very frustrating, especially when you are trying to study with it. I would pay three times this amount to have something with better navigation. I wish the designers would get on this and build it up to its potential. Im sure its great for leisure reads in the car or whatnot...

This application has various challenges, however its much better than many of those out there. One of my biggest problem is that I find is that does not point out where you are while reading, the second issue is that its hard to control the page or navigated the page is easy to lose the location where you were reading. If this issue is work to resolve this would be one of the best application for reading out of phones out there

I purchased this app full version. It worked fine. Then I got a new phone and tried to restore the app on my new device and the app continues to quit every time I attempt. I reached out to customer support TWICE and have yet to hear back from them after a week.

I get that the free version is a trial and Im all for it. I was hoping to hear how it sounded before I purchased the full version. Unfortunately, the one page trial read the very first page. I got to hear 4 words. No punctuation, no paragraph breaks, just the 4 words on the very first page of the pdf. Why even waste my time with the trial?

Was able to read a 900+ page book in two weeks thanks to this app. Yeah, its got its hiccups. But so what. I read a 900+ page book I would have never read and plan to go thru it again. Looking forward to going through many more.

1. navigation is bad. when trying to adjust the settings, you will spend more time flipping pages when you dont want to. 2. voice and the word transition is no better than any other free apps. app also skips words. 3. 4.99 for one voice option.....refund please

Ridiculous app that took me 10 min. to get my document uploaded then read the title page with a horrible sounding computer voice and then required me to purchase it to use further. Total waste of time.

Great app... Navigation needs some work. Add additional features like editing, bookmark, etc.

Why dont you just make it as not free?!

(Ive switched to the newer version of this app: Voyzer. It does all the same stuff, with a better UI) This app wins because its the only app that allows one to quickly crop every page in a PDF so that it doesnt read headers, footers, page numbers, etc. Suggestions: - in-app cloud syncing (the between app transfer is vulnerable to glitches with the other app and Dropbox, for instance, can be glitchy) - the ability to play/pause playback with the play button (e.g., the remote/mic button) - updated UI

It is mediocre. Would be nice to know what page I am on too.

When it works it is fantastic, however, sometimes it does not even power up. It just starts to load then shuts off. Not worth paying for!

Probably the best $5 Ive ever spent in my life! It makes reading a whole lot easier. I am in school so I find it very helpful to listen to my books while commuting. It doesnt always let me change the pronunciation of words. Which can be annoying sometimes but overall, I am pleased!

Works great for PDFs that are a single column of text vertically oriented to the page. Smooth continuous reading you can pause and continue. It does not work for text with any other orientation - this is so sad because it works so well when it does work. Please fix this! Also, would be great to be able to insert notes and highlights. This is the best reader I have found when it does work for a text I need- keep adding features to stay ahead of the pack.

I bought this app about a year Ago but when I changed my phone and wanted to restore It,the app just keep closing.
