To the developers of this app. Thank you very much. I absolutely love this app. This app has changed the way I do so many things now. All-in-one convenient location. And a special thank you for keeping the basic plan always free. I will be purchasing the subscription soon. Not because I want the extras that come with it but because I want to to show my appreciation to the developers. Thank you for supporting the blind and visually impaired community.😎

Hello, KIBO Developer. I enjoy reading PDF files. I have a major complaint, That only I don't like, is that, it will read the punctuation, it will say ...., all the time! Please improve TTS Voices, so it will not be able to read the punctuation ever again! Please update the app.
