"5 stars yes, because it`s better than ``hey Google, read the screen `` . But more needs to be done. i.e I used it on a very long document, and it was limited to reading Up to the middle of the document, I tried to scroll to where I want it to Start reading from it rather started from the beginning, in short it couldn`t read(show) the entire document. It`s also not good at reading PDF format documents despite them having many paragraphs too ."

"I started using it and it`s perfect for what it`s supposed to do. There needs to be a tap to turn off on the floating icon. When your not in that read mode, it`s in the way of screen action. It should be an icon accessable app, not via settings buried in a menu to turn it on and off. But, no criticism of the app and what it does. Great tool if you want to hear articles while driving"

"The app worked well for its intentioned purpose but it also caused an issue with YouTube. The control panel overlay would stay on the screen even though Reading mode was on in the background. Only uninstalling the app made YouTube function normally again. Fix the issue(s) and I`ll be happy to reinstall it."

"Like the reader and no annoying ads like is stated just text. 1 thing like to see the app open and close based on a set of about 10 words give or take. Then you can close when done instead of hanging to the right side of home screen"

"Personally, I like it and it works well, but there should be a way to Google on and off. It seems to mess with the YouTube app. YouTube`s on screen controls (when u touch screen) can only be removed by hitting three x. Had to go into settings to turn off reading mode!"

"Doesn`t work. Followed the instructions to turn on reading mode shortcut, but nothing happened. Try restarting, it didnt work. And not much material on how to troubleshoot it. I expected it to be more user friendly. The instructions was limited. Finally found 1 video demoing it. It turns out, the `allow` never showed up. In my case, after selecting turn on shortcut, it only give the options ok or cancel. No option to give permission. It ended up being to much trouble then what its worth for me."

"Very useful app. BUT Does Not Work On Many Websites. One feature request, add a slider that can hover over words & we can set its speed, so that it acts as a pointer which increases reading speed & maintaining focus. Underline feature is not very good as it distract a lot , slider would be much better like in READ ALOUD Mode while using Assistant. -Secondly :- Add a feature to Save or Bookmark good articles that you want to read later."

"The app is great when it works but some times it does not recognise all the text in the webpage it tomorrow some sentences that are separate in between paragraphs, also it would be great if this could be just a shortcut in the settings page and doesn`t have to be displayed in the apptray. Keep up the great work"
