Ratings and Reviews
Excellent customer service
My experience with Speechify has been great so far, and it only got better when I had to interact with someone involved in customer service! Wanting to purchase a book with a credit, and seeing that I was unable to do so, I contacted the customer service via text message, and they got back to me fairly quickly. Since the title I was after was unavailable for purchase with a Speechify credit, I was offered a complementary credit to balance it out! Keep it up, speechify! You guys are certainly solidifying yourselves as a major competitor against Audible.
Switched from Audible
I’ve been an Audible user for years, but recently tried out speechify after seeing a clip of Brandon Sanderson exposing Audible for their terrible treatment of small authors. He released his new books only on speechify, so I gave them a shot. The experience is so much better, and I get cheaper credits for books. I can see this app overtaking Audible at some point. Thank you!
Deceptive Free Trial Offer
I signed up for a 3-day free trial. When I went to cancel my trial before the end of the trial period I was immediately charged a full monthly subscription fee. I did not have the opportunity to cancel the trial and avoid the fee. I reached out to customer service and they were unwilling to refund my subscription fee.
Additionally the app interface is annoying. They advertise as a way to increase one’s reading comprehension by merging the auditory and visual, but the highlighted texted word-by-word is extremely distracting making it difficult to read. And you can’t even turn off the highlighted text function. At least let me turn it off.
The audiobook side of the app lacks an easy and intuitive navigation tool. I can’t jump back or forward 15 seconds with the touch of a button. Instead, if I’m just listening I have to scroll the timeline bar manually, or pull up the book text and find the exact paragraph where I want to rewind to. Very clunky and frustrating.
It’s neither a good reading platform or a good audiobook platform.
