After purchase of the Dark Lord I am unable to set it as my default voice. When I opened the app I checked for updates from Google Play Store then again opened launched your app from there, I received a pop up message about my Internet connection (not the issue) & to try again later. Refund please.
This app stole my money, i bought it and it wont run, tried to email the designer and i keep getting an error message saying it was rejected.
Opens for half a second before it closes. Yay for wasting money on this....
All of the rare other male voices are too high pitched or perky.
I used it so long ago. Cant download voice pack
Cannot install anymore
7 years abandoned and should be removed from playstore,,, REPORTED ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠
Voice data failed to install.
Was amazing loved it but now won't install on Android 6 and the developers email is disconnected
Crashes every time
But the pronunciation is off
I use this voice to read articles aloud from the web. Nice. Got free trial version first.
Opens for half a second before it closes. Yay for wasting money on this....
This is the best voice to have bar none!
Simply horrible.. If your thinking Darth Vader or something cool.. be prepared to be let down.
1. Install the trial version before buying this app. 2. Install Voice Notify from pilot_51. 3.Add Master:%m: in Voice Notify configuration.4. Act like Souron as your cellphone calls you and read every notification on your status bar . Works great on Xperia E1 lol.
It always trips people out for the first time they hear it, lol
When I first bought this I LOVED it. Now on note 3 it constantly crashes. Have not been able to use it yet
Won't work on Galaxy S4
Does not work on the S5. Crashes everytime.
I want this voice on my PC as well.
This app sucks now. I want my money back
This is the best voice to have bar none!
Sounds cool! Much better than the stock voice.
Meh, not worth $3
Sounds good on my desire no problems at all friends think its return cool not heard anything like it before
Refund please I didn't know I could choose different voices. Don't care much for this one.
I love it! But I warn you; don't buy it. People complain about the voice so much, I changed it back to shut them up!
Force closes on install. Android I727 ICS 4.0.4. Will not work with or on anything because after first run, does not complete installation, force closes & thinks it's installed the paid for voice, but my text to speech clearly says to install it. Tried installing it again but takes me to svox voice select with no installation options.
Deep, resonant, and a bit kooky sounding, it's like having Lurch from the Addams family, lol!
Simply horrible.. If your thinking Darth Vader or something cool.. be prepared to be let down.
I payed and every time I open it it crashes. I want my money back
I am on Galaxy s2...not one issue to date. Works exactly as it should.
SVOX US English DarkLord Voice is the official voice of my entire Android fleet. I think I bought this app almost two years now! I never had any problems with this voice, from Froyo to Jelly Bean.
It seem unresponsive to my GS4 it never actually talks using the voice other than in the preview.
It doesn't work on galaxy S4!
The notice to reinstall was irritating. Now can give it a good rating again.
So far so good.
A pleasant and relaxing deep male voice. Sounds like a cross between Barry White and a radio announcer for a Smooth Jazz radio station. Have used it successfully on Samsung Galaxy Note and Note 3.

It says on the start up that it can't install due to internet connection but I have perfectly good connection.
