NaturalReader Pro App Reviews

If you have a document like a deposition that you need to read, this app is very helpful. It can be a little finicky, though, and often crashes if you try to skip pages.

Now it also skips full paragraphs in PDFs and jumps around without any order. And for webpages, you need to swipe every single page. So there is no way you can read a full article Apple should have a way of returning the app for a refund when it becomes buggy and unusable after the "update". Same is the case with its iPad version. After paying for it, I was pretty happy. I could listen to multiple page articles from the web. Now the text of multiple pages stops and requires swiping up pages.

NR pro is quite obviously suffering from neglect by the makers - you open the help page and nothing shows up (iPhone 6+). More importantly - leave the app and come back to it only to find that theres no pause where you left off feature for webpages - you have to search for the Wikipedia topic, just as an example, and start all over again or remember the line and page where you last were - in a multi page article such as Alzheimers dementia this can be frustrating, and thats one thing the app needs to have to facilitate reading. Opinion: suffers from short term memory loss itself! Caregiver-neglect also in evidence.

I would like the ability to save and store web pages on articles I love. Thanks!

Does not work with iOS 9 or above. Worst customer service ever. No updates. Please give me back my money.

I tried downloading from Dropbox and t keeps having an error, I click on the how to download from email or computer and it just shows a blank screen, what was the point of paying money if when I upgrade the service gets worse

NR is better than (most) other text to speech programs Ive tried. I say most because Ive switched to Voicepaper because the pronunciation and cadence is significantly better. On the upside, the place in the text is highlighted as the speech progresses so I can read a snippet of unclear. It has great support for importing from the web, Dropbox etc. The downside is that it too often mispronounces words and has an unnatural cadence. NR could be improved by enunciating some words clearer, talking slightly slower (or better ability to control speed), pausing at line breaks and bullets. If they fixed those issues, Id buy it again but presently it needs a few critical improvements to get over the usability hump.

I used the free version, worked good. Just now paid for the pro version, and when I hit play, the pages just quickly flip all the way through the document and doesnt read anything. Both 15% buttons are flashing while pages are constantly turning.

This app is a must have for individuals with Dyslexia or who just prefer to have written material read aloud to them. *Affordable *Best Text-to-Speech on the market *Easy to use Compared to Dragon, I found NaturalReader easier to use with as good or better Reading fluency for significant less cost.

app does not work. has no features regular version does not have.

There is not point in having an iPhone app designed to read books aloud, that does not access iBooks. Square peg in a round hole dilemma, except in this case theres no hole at all. (Oh, and it doesnt work with kindle either.)

I absolutely love this App, Ive had it for three years now and cant live without it.

It really good at reading web pages and pasted text, but it has dome pronunciation problems. Like saying that a program is live, ( pronounced ly-ve) it pronounces it as live, as in something has life. Otherwise it comes in handy if Im too lazy to read. Peace Whoga

This has great features and a variety of voices. I really like the versatility.

Horrible changes to a once great program. Please change it back!! It distorts the words and the reading is strange.

This is an app that I use without fail, every single day. Im very satisfied. Its feature rich, and easy to use, especially since the latest update, which made it even better! Thanks, NaturalRead, and please keep up the great work.

It just sticks words together and read just characters! Previous version worked just fine, current one doesnt. I asked for help to fix the problem, sent them PDF file - they just said that they are too busy with other problems.

I purchase the pro version of Natural Reader after happy with the free version, thought it will be better. Instead it is not even reading no more, crash every time try to add voice.
