Hello everyone,
Iβm part of the team working on Readify, an iOS reading app that supports various document formats with text-to-speech playback. We have been focusing on improving its VoiceOver accessibility and would appreciate feedback from blind and low-vision users who are willing to try the app.
At the moment, we are particularly interested in feedback on:
1. General navigation with VoiceOver
2. Playback controls and gesture usability
3. Chapter navigation efficiency
4. Suggestions for improving organization of voice-related settings
5. Interest in potential rotor options for adjusting certain reading controls
We fully understand and respect AppleVis policy stating that developers must not submit their own apps to the App Directory. Therefore, this post is only to request accessibility feedback. If any user feels the app is helpful and wishes to submit it to the Directory, that decision is entirely up to them.
For anyone interested in testing, here is the App Store link:
https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6743287753?pt=125781725&ct=applevis&mt=8
Thank you in advance for any feedback or suggestions. We value the AppleVis communityβs expertise and will continue improving VoiceOver support based on user input.

Before we give feedback, what's the USP here?
Thanks for the heads up about Readify.
Without meaning to sound rude, what does this app offer that similar apps such as Speechify, Dream Reader, Eleven Labs Reader etc, don't?
Sell us the idea and we might give some feedback. :)
About the USP of Readify
Thanks for the question!
The main differences between Readify and those big apps are pretty simple:
β’ Readify is completely free β no subscriptions, no ads, no locked voices.
β’ It supports more file formats out of the box (TXT, PDF, EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, DOCX, etc.).
β’ Weβre adding more natural-sounding AI voices all the time, and all of them are available without a paywall.
Weβre not trying to replace the big apps β just offering a fully free alternative with broad format support.
If that sounds useful, weβd love your feedback on the VoiceOver experience. :)
A MacOS Version ... Please
SInce this is compatible with iPadOS I think it can be easily imported to macs with M processors?
