Review summary

Users appreciate Read4Me for reading text messages and notifications aloud, facilitating hands-free communication, especially when driving or multitasking. However, many find the app unreliable across devices, with frequent failures to read messages or announce calls. The persistent 'call in progress' announcement during calls and a non-intuitive user interface further detract from usability. Despite these issues, some users prefer it over similar apps and find it helpful in daily use.
Pros
  • Reads text messages and notifications aloud, enabling hands-free communication.
  • Helps users stay in touch without needing to look at their phone, useful for multitasking and driving.
  • Pleasant user experience reported by some users compared to similar apps.
Cons
  • App does not work properly on some devices, including Huawei P30 Pro and Xperia Z with custom ROMs.
  • Fails to read messages or announce callers as expected.
  • Annoying 'call in progress' announcement during phone calls that cannot be turned off.
  • User interface is not user-friendly, with complaints about automatic enabling and unclear operation.

Bernard Howard		 Good app, does everything I need except when I get a call, i can't turn off the "call in progress" announcement that keeps continuing all through the call. Could someone please tell me how to turn this off when I answer the phone.

A Google user		 I love this app. I have it configured so I can hear my text messages, app and email notifications as they come in. It allows me to stay in touch with my contacts without having to be looking at my cell phone screen. I'm able to multitask much more.
