4 99 for just the app separate purchase if you want it to actually read to you English must be purchased 4 99 and all other languages are separate charges Run your business right then maybe you ll get some business This should be the best out there will be calling apple for this fraud business and get my money back     OMG XGene38
I really like this app for the simplicity and practicality In my case was always stable w minimum crashes So it s not the magic that is very convenient way to get a review on any book                 Solid app Teamora
The voice was terrible and distracting I am quite upset I paid almost ten dollars I did not understand I would have to pay an extra 4 99 for each additional language I wanted to hear nor did I realize it would be a terrible glitchy distraction of a voice Unless they fix that don t lose your money like I did Totally upset I lost 10 on this thing Developers I hope your goal was to be a scam otherwise you failed     Very unhappy Eskimowilkes
I m on the go a lot and this app helps me to enjoy my reading addiction wherever I am Once you get used to some of the strange ways the app reads some words it s just like any other book on CD However now I can have ANY book I like in audible form for way less than the Audible app                 Worth it KYredinMS
Very very bad audio book app The reading voice is same google translation audio Useless I bought and I contact with App Store to refund my money     Don t buy is cheating Sham on you
Where are the 30 000 books I have 50 maybe         30 000 book Ckool4life
This AP stinks can t understand a word they say I switched it to Italian and it must be an Italian language they must have invented like a mix of Spanish Portuguese etc I would like my money back for the Ap and the Italian conversion of the book 4 99 4 99 Also it looks that I can only pick from the selection they give you NO GOOD     the count of monte cristo itasipa
This is a great app I think you could really turn this onto a huge success There are a lot of people out there would love to read and listen to an ePub book all in one place This app comes very close but there are still a few key features missing 1 I can t start and stop the reading with the pause button on my earphones This really makes it hard to use this app in a real world situation where interruptions occur 2 Many of the epubs I import think that I need to purchase the German AIP even though they are in English 3 You cannot adjust the brightness of the screen from within the app You can t really read without that feature Keep up the good work             Nice update so close to having it all Chappy72
This plus Calibre have made my road trips SO much nicer Thanks                     So nice TonyMcCallie
After the update the reading has improved slightly but is still too fast Please restore to the May version or add the capacity to let users adjusting the speed Now it is simply not listenable     Still bad reading after the update lz2006
I ve had no problem having it read my own e books I don t know why other people were having so many issues perhaps I m just lucky The voice synthesis is not as good as Siri but I can t be bothered doing that silly select text trick to make her read through the accessibility menu If there is a picture of a page or any artwork in the e book then it will not read that part and the voiceover will stop You ll have to start again manually on the next page However the bookmarks function is quite handy and works well Additional languages and voices are really overpriced they cost as much as the app does All in all it s what I wanted an app to make my eBooks audiobooks for my daily commute                 Does what it s supposed to do Shogun-one
Speech is sloppy at times I like to read sometimes and have it read to me other times while commuting You can t manually turn the page BACK Not worth the Hopefully there will be upgrade soon         Hope it improves IOSdump
This is the poorest app I ever seen The next time I ll search a demo before buying it     Vbookz Alain Patience Mizero
Thank to your great work I know it s hard to make app like this I also have your vbookz PDF reader and it s fantastic I hope that app get better and better Namaste                     Good app for learning English reading fast Majid roshan
I really love this app The voice synthesis could be a little better but it s still a really good app I look forward to the improvements in future updates             Really Good App TheLegendary
This app has an extremely limited selection It takes too long to get through a page and the speaking is chopped     Bad app hrula
Very expensive Do not buy Ridiculous you pay for languages that you never use How can I have my money back     To expensive Petria Reis
How can I uninstall this app and get a refund They have a very limited selection none of the books I m looking for for school     Student12 Heartapps19
The fact it does not work can t use it since it closes on phone lock and it will NOT remember the last page read don t buy it     Not worth it ajy66
It does everything I had hoped makes my commute enjoyable The only improvements I would like to see is place in book syncing across multiple devices And if there was a way to upload to directly from the iBooks app this would be the best app ever Very Good Job by the developer                     Awesome app mmcculley1
I love it I have read at least 10 books a month if not more since I bought this program I love it so much My toddler will sit in my lap and watch my iPhone while it reads And my toddler will not sit still for anything I also have to hold him to put him to sleep at night and he listens and falls asleep within minutes                     Awesome ShortByNature82
Would not play my ebook     Poor product Lalalaakdjeijc
I bought this specifically to be able to listen from my iPad 3 to my ebooks ePub while I m at my desk or driving I don t use Dropbox nor while I download it to use with this 4 99 app I followed the directions per vbookz website for saving an ePub converting it to text then converting back to ePub with success While that was a bit interesting in itself I could not upload the saved ePub back to vbookz This was a complete waste of money for me I hope the other buyers have better success than I did     Very disappointed in app Not_2_Clvr
The current version does seem to have resolved the issues of importing your own files but playback immediately ceases if you lock your device or exit the app As a primarily audio based app it would be ideal for on the go listening but the inability to lock the touchscreen while playing severely limits it s usefulness in such situations             Why not continue playback while locked PaulBlake
I love this app this app should be for anyone who likes books I can t really read all that well but I can t spell at all but this app rules I m giving it five star and plus it s an awesome app just to kick back relax and listen to the story                     This book reading at is awesome Sonic 7007
Este programa tiene muchos problemas serios por ahora no se los recomiendo los libros se cargan incompletos y falt ndole muchas p ginas algunos cap tulos se repiten y otros simplemente los salta espero en verdad que arreglen este problema ya que si abro el mismo archivo en el ibooks de Apple se ve completo y perfecto     Vbookz PVillasmil
It uses pretty good TTS voices they don t get everything perfect but thats ok I like that you can import from Dropbox and so far I have had no problems importing my own books in ePub format one bit of advice I will give when you want to exit vBookz press the button in the upper left to go back to your bookshelf so it put the bookmark back in to save your progress                     I love it Bright_Cyan
I like the voices                     Great app gamerlpe
I bought the Vbookz app expecting that I could import my own ePub files and have them read to me A previous reviewer suggested to use calibre to convert non drm protected books into the right format epub I tried this and copied the ePub file via iTunes into the app Vbookz recognizes the file and opens it but each chapter of the book I was reading showed only the first page of that chapter When syncing the same file to iBooks the whole chapter is visible I will now use the VoiceOver feature in iBooks instead     Does not work with your own epubs T.orko
Hate it Waste of money     Ms Sudhadhanani
There is a problem with this app on the iPad 3 It shrinks the text and does not highlight what it s reading Works well on iPad 1 2 with unprotected ePub files that have the language set to English use Calibre             Works with some caveats rlay001
I also experienced the same problem as other reviewers It appears that version 2 4 does not have the new book option but that version 2 4 s only accompanying documentation is for an earlier version one that had the felature For a new user like me this was absolutely frustrating as I wasted a lot of my time searching for the new book metal plate and tried tapping and swiping all over the app It is SIMPLY INEXCUSABLE for the app to have been released with such a wild goose chase in the documentation The other reviewer who says all the negative reviewers are incompetent is missing the point After some investigation yes I was able to surmise that I can probably use my desktop machine to fetch texts from Gutenberg and use iTunes to deposit them into my iPad so that vBookz can read them I haven t verified that this works It is ludicrous that that reviewer would think a user that doesn t go to the lengths I did is incompetent It is the company that screwed up the documentation that is incompetent and I strongly suspect that reviewer is a shill for that company All that aside the app s text to speech technology is barely adequate It may well represent the state of the art I really can t judge that but anyone expecting it to sound at all natural will be very disappointed Having contacted the company I have been offered a refund I will gratefully accept that offer         Simply inexcusable Me13013
To upload your own ebooks you need to connect your Idevice to your computer and open iTunes There go to your device on the left hand side and select your device On the top of the screen select apps and on the bottom where it says file sharing you can upload epubs Works as advertised all the other reviewers are incompetent                     Good app Sungreens
This app is gear about reading the few books that come with it I cannot get it to access any of my thousands of books already in my ipad2 I bought this to read to my sight impared relative I also got it to read to when my eyes were tired Only get this if you want the 10 books that come with it     Confused PLEASE HELP Syndjynn
Okay the male voice is a little better than the female one         Okay Kiwihlj
I thought this would be good for school because we read a lot of books in English class but it is not It s a waste of 3 to 4 dollars and I want my money back I cant buy any books it s only the 10 books that they give to you that I read back in 6th grade     Don t buy it Maggie Valarioti
I have emailed them twice no answer yet Update removed the ability to add books I had previously paid for another language pack Italian but there were so few books available and with the update that was removed with no way to add it back I ll change it to 4 stars once they fix the problems     Used to be OK but now unable to add books and to select other languages GAM055
Rip Off     Rip Off J24601V
Sadly it does not see my network connection and won t look for any additional books I may be stuck with the boks that came with the app     I thought this would be great BenjPhoto
The description says that there is Russian language but there is not I do not know what to do I want my money back     Do not buy Voskanyan
The description of the app leads u to believe existing eBooks and PDFs will work they don t After not seeing away to import my files I went to the support page and found it will not work with pretty much anything else I ve never wished I could get a refund so much before     Do not buy Matt-SD
Application freezes on my IPad2 Intensely irritating background musical accompaniment All in all a total waste of time and money     Application Freezes TOR81
Extremely functional and very well designed Just a beautiful app I took the time to learn what it does and how to maximize it based on another review and she was right It s easy and awesome             Gorgeous app Wendy Day
I spent a while downloading and once I had a book downloaded and started to listen I was so disappointed by how bad the audio was It is worth just downloading a book off of itunes to hear a better voice This voice is so chopping and robotic that i had to turn it off I highly recommend not purchasing if you want to hear the audio It is ok if you just want to read off your iphone or ipad     r o b t i c v o i c e unbearable mglade
The monotone robotic voice that places all of the expressions in the wrong places makes listening an annoying effort I love the idea but the technology has a looong way to go Don t waste your money     You ve got to be kidding ddannaa
Complete waste of money Animated voice Annoying     Useless app Lexogram
The vbookz app installs with a few dozen ebooks to get you started reading immediately I am very pleased with how easy it is to download and use additional public domain ebooks As other reviewers have noted the computer generated voices reading the ebooks are monotone But I find the voices speak clearly and are easily understood My favorite Text To Speech TTS app for a computer is Ivona Reader Vbookz is currently my favorite TTS app for the ipod iphone I definitely recommend vbookz to anyone that loves reading books while mobile but is unable or unwilling to stare into a tiny iphone ipod touch screen I expect Vbookz could also be useful to small children learning to read Overall this app is worth the price ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT Vbookz worked well with ebooks downloaded wirelessly from within the app It worked poorly with epub books manually loaded from my calibre ebook management software Vbookz was limited to displaying only qty 70 ebooks loaded from my Calibre collection Vbooks was unable to display or correctly play most of those 70 ebooks they are not DRM protected It might be helpful it Vbookz accepted ebooks in TEXT format Also I had to reboot power off power on the ipod after the initial installation This reboot cleared a problem where the reader would get stuck after turning each page                 Worth the price Easy downloading of Public Domain Books Reader voices are clear understandable FolsDux

Although I like this app I would love to see a PDF Voice Reader version of this app or the ability to have PDFs read out loud within this application but for the iPad I bought your Mac version of PDV Voice Reader and would most definitely purchase an iPad version of the app Thanks J Los Angeles              Like it but

It took me a long time to figure out how to import my own epub files but after reading the instructions on the vbookz site carefully especially step 3 about app file sharing which I never knew about its a piece of cake and the web is full of free epub books The voices are definitely not great and it doesnt run in the background but given that this is the only game in town its a must have application for people who need tolove to listen to books              Good if you can get used to the voice
I bought the Vbookz app expecting that I could import my own ePub files and have them read to me A previous reviewer suggested to use calibre to convert nondrm protected books into the right format epub I tried this and copied the ePub file via iTunes into the app Vbookz recognizes the file and opens it but each chapter of the book I was reading showed only the first page of that chapter When syncing the same file to iBooks the whole chapter is visible I will now use the VoiceOver feature in iBooks instead     Does not work with your own epubs

The texttospeech seems fine on the preinstalled books most of the reviewers here clearly just have no idea what texttospeech is Its all the other problems Importing books is unintuitive and they usually dont work showing only blank pages saying the language isnt supported when the book is in English or crashing the app Moreover if the app ever crashes it will NEVER open again even if you reboot the phone The only option is to delete the app and reinstall and resend all your books Installing the male voice causes the app to crash and thus never open again Books are only shown in cover flow but it doesnt recognize epub covers so it generates identical generic covers for all books with the name of the book in tiny tiny text 3 pixels high so its hard to even see what book youre choosing After spending a few hours reinstalling and syncing dozens of times without getting a single page to read without crashing I finally gave up Ill hold onto it in the hopes they fix the problems but theres an awful lot of them     Text to Speech works but nothing else
I also experienced the same problem as other reviewers It appears that version 24 does not have the new book option but that version 24s only accompanying documentation is for an earlier version one that had the felature For a new user like me this was absolutely frustrating as I wasted a lot of my time searching for the new book metal plate and tried tapping and swiping all over the app It is SIMPLY INEXCUSABLE for the app to have been released with such a wild goose chase in the documentation The other reviewer who says all the negative reviewers are incompetent is missing the point After some investigation yes I was able to surmise that I can probably use my desktop machine to fetch texts from Gutenberg and use iTunes to deposit them into my iPad so that vBookz can read them I havent verified that this works It is ludicrous that that reviewer would think a user that doesnt go to the lengths I did is incompetent It is the company that screwed up the documentation that is incompetent and I strongly suspect that reviewer is a shill for that company All that aside the apps text to speech technology is barely adequate It may well represent the state of the art I really cant judge that but anyone expecting it to sound at all natural will be very disappointed Having contacted the company I have been offered a refund I will gratefully accept that offer        Simply inexcusable
