This app has broke my damn phone. It turns my notification sounds off all the time. I know it did this over 48 times I would turn it back on and in the next 7-18 min it would do it again & the as loud as it could say notifications are turned off and must be turned on manually. It's been messing with my phone and the notifications now for months. I didn't know what was going on. I missed so many important texts & calls. If I could I would sue over the broken phone I have bc of it. I HATE this app

I come from the Italian FNR app, which I have used for years and years, and it was working great until the developer got weird with the monetization scheme, now it forces you to watch ads like it or not. This WD Spoken Notifications seems to be a better option. A bit simpler but as long as it reads my written messages and spoken messages (whatsapp) I'm happy. So far, I still have not been able to make it play my whatsapp messages, but I see the option seems to be there. Kudos for the developers!
