I really enjoy this app, and even got a Plus subscription - only to discover a 500,000 char daily limit when using Plus voices. That sounds like a lot, but is actually about 5 hrs/17 small-ish chapters. It's incredibly jarring to suddenly get switched to a clunky ai voice after hrs of hearing a natural-sounding one. I use this when I can't read on my phone, which is A LOT, & way more than 500,000 chars, esp when half of those characters are punctuation or I have it go back to re-read something.

Good app. The free voices aren't great, but they aren't terrible. Good cadence. And this has an option to correct pronunciation, which is really great for audiobook immersion. Sometimes loses it's place or even loses the entire text, which is frustrating. I wish either the free voices were better, or the premium wasn't so expensive, but that isn't a fault of the app.
