Eine tolle App und ein fantastischer Support! VORBILDLICH! (*****) by UweHermann – Nov 26, 2017
Ich nutze die App als Sprachausgabe, um meine Texte auf Wordwiederholungen und Rechtschreibfehler durchzusehen. Das klappt prima. Ich lasse mir den Text vorlesen und verfolge ihn gleichzeitig in dem Textverarbeitungsprogramm meine Wahl. Nachdem ich die App ausprobiert habe, kam mir dann die Idee für eine weitere Funktion, also schickte ich dem Programmierer eine Mail. Innerhalb weniger Stunden bekam ich völlig überraschend eine Rückmeldung. Er versprach mir, bei nächster Gelegenheit diese Funktion (Den Text der Zwischenablage vorlesen zu lassen) zu implementieren. Am nächsten Morgen hatte ich eine weitere Mail von ihm. Er hatte die Nacht durchgearbeitet, die Funktion eingebunden und bereits ein Update eingereicht. Unglaublich! Besser kann die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Entwickler und Anwender nicht sein. Allein dafür würde ich schon 5-Sterne vergeben — und für die App sowieso. Wer so eine App sucht, sollte hier zugreifen!
