Overall app is Good, for Caller Name announcer & battery fully charge alarm. But sometime creates issue while answering the present incoming call. As phone screen cant show incoming number, & answer/ reject options. Because screen occupied with app logo. On before answering the call. This is the only glitch found in this app so giving stars ๐คฉ

Continuous announcement of caller's name is not working. Before, it was perfect. Also, when sms received, it doesn't announce the sender name although setting is ok

Works real well for sms calls and what app read out. Unfortunately the shake to stop does not work on Samsung S26U.

This app announces only 24 an hours good. The next days onwards doesn't work properly.
The app doesn't link with the Contact list and announces all nos as an Unknown number. Gives irritating & Repetitive announcement for SMS, that SMS is running in the background. Didn't find the app to my satisfaction.

I'm facing an issue with the battery full charge notification. It isn't notifying me when the battery reaches full charge. I've checked the settings for the charge percentage, but I still don't get a notification. Otherwise, the application is working fine.
