Comments on Evie - The eVoice book reader for Android
★★★★★Tiel Forrest· Sep 20, 2025
I love this app. Not because it's free either. Changing the voice to match the book is great. I would pay for the added voices if it were a yearly subscription and reasonable. But I live it the way it is now.

I AM SO LOVING THIS APP!!! The new Evie Ai voices are very nice.... just wish they would read sentences that end with a question mark ? Like a question for example
★★★★☆Mike· Apr 7, 2026
I've been using this app for about 2 years, and I love most of it. I listen to books usually 10-12 hours a day, so I have a fairly large collection that's only growing. So I'd like to see an option to have books in different library's or to be able to mark books as read and drop off the list so when I'm scrolling for something to read I don't have to scroll past dozens of books that I've already read. Also, maybe a timestamp on the last time you read the book. Thanks for a decent app.
★☆☆☆☆hmc· May 26, 2026
This just doesn't work. It loads part way through the book and doesn't load the whole book. It has lots of features, but it's pointless when a basic thing like loading the file correctly doesn't even work. I had no issue with the file on any other app I tried. Plus I hate layout (the stupid tabs) and everything is tedious and slow. I thought it had potential, so I've had it installed for a while hoping for updates with improvements, but I've wasted enough time on this.
★★☆☆☆Josh Viola· Aug 20, 2025
Such an amazing reading app with motivating voices... but unfortunately it has a big problem. Whenever I choose the voice I want, it keeps on changing to other voices, and it freaks me out so bad. I'm sorry, but please tell me what's the problem or is the problem is with the app please take a look at it.
