I'm a long-time enjoyer of this app, it's definitely my favorite t2s reader. I love how customizable it is (especially with pronunciation). Because I use it so much, there's some very specific things I've found over time that can be improved. In the future I would like to see compatibility with car-link systems like android auto so that I can play and pause the reader from my car while I'm listening. I would also like a setting for reading out different kinds of text breaks like < hr > lines.

This is hands down the best app for reading long web articles. The controls are intuitive and practically every feature I want is here! How do I pay you money? Edit: Just sent you the $5 for pro. Edit2: after more than one year, I wish there was a subscription tier where I could request features. I use the app to read web novels and there are no tab management features. I can't group tabs together and I can't change how the tabs are sorted. Tabs just stay in the order they were opened forever.

Good, if you use one device. But the main annoyance is the scrolling, especially when trying to highlight text, it goes uncontrollably to the bottom, so you lose your place and train of thought, not cool. Also the ability to go from device to device would be cool, fix those two things, you'll get 5 stars. Get 6 if you add ability to add an image. Yes, I get that it's meant to be a simple text app but, what I use it for, setting up my images in the places I want, in one app, would really help.
