I like this app. Don't misunderstand me. This app is worth paying for. It really helps with reading for research while on the go. After I paid, my TTS settings got reset to an American English male voice. When I tried to put the settings back, I couldn't find the voice I had been using, which was British English & male. The closest one I can find has an issue where it fluctuates between insect-like high pitch and a regular pitch. So, that's really annoying, but I suppose I'll get used to it. 😒

This app is perfection; I'm going to the paid version now. Because: 1. Share to read immediately or add to list for later. 2. The ability to customize the pronunciation of certain words or acronyms is perfect for technical articles. 3. Choice of voice, pitch, rate, etc, saves so much time. 4. Ability to sync from pocket and by tags is perfect. 5. The UI scrolls along with the reading which allows for much better time scrubbing. (Pocket just removed this from their UI; awful.) 6. Option to read through with the bell between articles. Perfect for commute. Developers, it's practically perfect, please don't succumb to Material Design or other much less efficient UI choices. Its current feature set and robust configuration options mean it is a somewhat complex app and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Many apps are trying to put form ahead of function and the result is just useless 9 times out of 10 (Pocket, Kindle, Linux Academy, YouTube). So, please, trust your instincts and don't neuter an app that is an incredibly useful daily-driver for many of us. Thank you

Just what I was looking for and it can even use my Ivona Kendra voice to record 😀 (unlike other apps I have tried in the past, that only let you save audio files using their voices). Well worth the $10 for the premium. Would be nice to be able to save files directly to mp3, but it does support wav, which I can easily edit on my computer, or straight convert using a difference app.
