Voice Brief - text to speech voice assistant for news email and more App Reviews

Crashes every time I open it.

App has not kept up with newer connections to feeds. Twitter does not work. RSS feed does not work. Google Reader is a discontinued product. And it will not work with Exchange.

No updates in 3 years. Google reader is long dead and there has been no effort to integrate feedly or any other rss readers. Once a great app but now we need a replacement.

This app was supposed to be easy to use with voiceover assessability. However it was not that easy. Difficult to find out the RSS feeds addresses.

This was a good app years ago, but no longer works. Constantly shuts down, even without Calendar in the settings. But wont read calendar, Facebook, gmail - says old connection type in gmail. My guess is the app is no longer supported.

Almost impossible to get real, objective news from any source these days. With Voice Brief I can easily edit and control the areas and numbers of stories and, within a few minutes, am up to speed. Voice engines still need a little work but remind me of the "old days" newscasters that didnt get paid to have opinions.

I have been looking and looking for an app like this. This is another app that has let me down. Shuts down all the time, and wont connect to my common uses apps like Facebook and Twitter. Disappointed.

I cant get this software to run on my iPhone 6.

I purchased this to listen to my emails while driving in the car. It doesn’t work with hotmail because of IMAP (not the developers problem). I then forwarded my email to a gmail account. Google stopped the authentication by the app because it said it did not meet modern security standards. Consequently, I can’t use the app and I’m now wondering if the app has more nefarious uses by the developer. However, it does have good reviews from publishers like ZDNet so I’m giving it two stars because my concerns about something nefarious in the app may be misplaced.

Doesnt work crashes every

I got this solely to read my email in gmail and got the in-app purchase too. I was disappointed to find an email from google saying there was a sign in attempt but because of some lack of security, it blocked access. I used another voice program and it did not have this problem. Gmail is very popular so I am either doing it wrong or these fellows couldnt be buggered to mention that gmail doesnt work for some inexplicable reason. May try some other features but the one I needed I cant get. :(

I hate it when I pay for an app that doesnt work. I even emailed the developers and nothing. How disappointing!

Having problems connecting to Facebook Twitter and my email account

Gmail went to a new form of autheniticaion on April 15, 2015. This program has still not caught up!!!

When editing, I find it helpful to read my manuscripts out loud. This app as been a life and voice saver. only issue is with hyphenated words but once I became used to how theyre read back I found this app great.

Avoid this App!! I just bought it and nothing seems to work as advertised!! Facebook reader always says connection failed, and none of the email accounts work!! Not even one account. It says you have to make another purchase! What a rip-off!! The only thing that worked for me is news reader but the speakers voice seems like outdated technology.

What I really wanted is an app that would read a Note already on my phone. As far as I can tell, this app cannot do that. I tried to have it read my Facebook, which I really didnt want but I tried as an experiment, and it says connection failed. I asked for my money back.
