Very useful and reliable app. I have paid-for version. Only slight oddity is that it turns itself on when headphones are plugged into 3.5mm jack, but not when car radio is plugged into 3.5mm jack.

Bought the unlock! This is the only app that I've found that actually allows to read emails & txt & set for screen open or locked & set up apps you want to hear! Tried several & none work all the time or allow to be set up how you want to use! As long as Google doesn't screw things up this app is Great! One I've noticed it sometimes starts on Bluetooth devices not selected to start on! But overall a Great app! Highly recommend!

Excellent, reliable app. Very simple to use. The free version only reads notifications from 1 app, but that is all I need.

I drive with Door Dash, so I want texts to be spoken without me having to look away to the phone. For the most part this app works flawlessly with one glaring major exception. It seems to crash when I have Google maps on the screen. Doesn't seem to be problematic with Dash app, but google maps cannot coexist with it. Need to fix this issue. Edit. Must have fixed my issue. Haven't had an issue in months!

Pretty good. Just installed easily with straightforward set up. Works well, except that only the first part of messages are read and there seems to be a word limit. I've emailed the developer with the query. 3 stars as it stands, though would be 5 if this is easily sorted.

UPDATE: Intermittent problems with OnePlus 7 Pro upgraded to Android 10. Seems resolvable if you turn off power management of Out Loud. PROBLEM: TTS announcements stop after the phone has gone into (then out of) a period of Do Not Disturb. Status says Out Loud isn't saying because the phone is in silent. Open Out Loud app and the status corrects itself but still doesn't read any more notifications. Meanwhile, the Read Test Notification continues to work. Buggy Android 10? 😢

I went through a half dozen notification reader apps. This is the only one I could find that would only read when my screen is off and I'm connected to Bluetooth. The only improvement I'd make is that the speech speed selector is too limited for some voices, and needs to be a sliding bar, rather than a 5 option picker.

I have tried more than a dozen of these apps that read notifications out loud. I'm using the app to read notifications through my vehicle's head unit through Android Auto. This is the only app that I have used that has worked consistently. Anybody who is using Android Auto should be using this app.

this app reads out gmail email subject lines twice before reading the body. reading cuts off if i touch the phone or use it sometimes too. on note 9 os: 9.0 would be nice to have the option to just read out email from one specific email sender. EDIT: FairEmail doesn't show up in the list of apps to choose from :-( EDIT 2: you have to uninstall this app & reinstall for FairEmail to show.

This is the worst app ever.First, it won't work and second it tries to force you to buy it,or it just sits there doing absolutely. Nothing I deleted it fast!!
