It's a fun little toy novelty but when you press save, it doesn't save to your phone, it saves to only within the app, like an advanced copy and paste. Add a safe feature and you got yourself a real winner here. I had high hopes. 😏

Great! Only 3 somewhat minor complaints: #1 i cannot select a text file from my phone to use so i have to copy and paste it in (problematic for larger things i want read because copying can take awhile) #2 beyond ~40,000 words the text reader sometimes just won't read it. #3 the two types of ads, the banner ad that is always at the bottom and the three banner ads that stay below everything else in the app, if the banner ad appears but the three don't, you cannot access the bottom most saved text

It's a good app but ever since I got it I've been experiencing 2 problems. 1. Sometimes when I paste text then the app freezes. I paste a lot of text because I paste two versions of something to compare them and see where I made mistakes. So while the app is reading the first text version then I'm reading the second. 2. When the above happens then when I go out of the app and close it before going back in again then the screen just turns white when I try to go back in. Please help.
