HI, under settings there is a button to email the developer. why not use that? they will need your device id to troubleshoot. and this is provided on emails direct from the game itself.

Same is happening on my iPhone 6 running iOS9 but as I really like the Alex voice I hope the developer doesn't fix it, or maybe assigns Alex as the male voice and gives Samantha back her female role.

I was previously under the impression apps couldn't utilize the Alex voice, guess this changed with iOS9.

Hi! I have heard the same TTS sex change here, namely getting Alex instead of Samantha in the Blindfold games. Personally, I like Alex a lot more than Samantha, so this bug doesn't bother me too much, but to have the choice of male and female we need Samantha back, unless she gets replaced by some other Eglish-speaking female voice. In the meantime, the two male voices are easily distinguishable by their accents. I won't worry if this bug is not fixed, but I'm sure there are people who would prefer to have Samantha again. I know third party apps are allowed to use Alex for their own TTS now, but I admit I didn't expect him to replace Samantha in the Blindfold games, even if this replacement is temporary and maybe unplanned.

They know about the bug. Restart the game and you should be good to go.
