Negative review I never agreed to install this. by anonym
It's one of those apps they force you to have on your phone. I can't stand these! 1/5
Negative review Wtf by anonym
Every time I restart my phone this thing turns its self on and it takes an hour for me to turn It off because the touchscreen won't work. More then a little upset. Its my phone I'd like to be able to use it when I need it say like in an emergency. 1/5
Negative review DAMN by anonym
Friends, don't try this app...it may hang your phone and may lead to lock permanently...I like Google but , this is so damn... 1/5
Neutral review Good if you need by anonym
Look people if you don't use it just root your phone and uninstall. If you don't know how to look it up on YouTube. 3/5
Negative review Never ever play with this option. by anonym
I just start to test it, never ever try it. You will be stuck by tutorial and will smash your phone on wall. 1/5
Positive review Accessibility by anonym
While most of us can't imagine the benefits of such apps, they can make a huge impact on some people's lives! 5/5
Negative review Not happy by anonym
Is there a reason why I'm obliged to have this app on my phone? Why can't I uninstall it? Again, why I am forced to have this on my phone? 1/5
Negative review There is not real need for it by anonym
In case its made for eye challenged users it may be beneficial but still to people who can see can and will uninstall 1/5
Positive review 5 strs for those who need it by anonym
I turned this on, and keeping my eyes closed fallowed tutorial, which made me very grateful that I can see 5/5
Negative review I don't need it. by anonym
Even thought it takes up little space, I would rather use the memory on my phone for something else that I need than on something I don't need, there is a reason for all the complaints on this app. 1/5
Negative review by anonym
Probably one of the worst apps I ever tried. Won't ever enable it again. Too hard to get to another section of my phone cos it stops the screen from moving 1/5
Positive review Very good app not a spyware by anonym
Hey people, if you think this is a spyware that invade your privacy. Take a good look at what Facebook does maybe you should uninstalled facebook. Read before you leave negative comments. If you don't need it just force stop and turn off. Ignorant Idiots!! 5/5
Positive review 5 stars by anonym
cause these comments. no clue how much it impacts their device but they sure know how to post an irrelevant and showingly ignorant comment 5/5
Positive review LG G3 by anonym
Like the hidden message. Talk back and then a big hand for the app. Slapping bitches! 5/5
Positive review Requesting a new change by anonym
So, now you've launched an update of the app and that too without any greater improvement. Charging status support? Was that really needed? No. One could check the status by touching on the right side in locked screen. No web scrolling is being seen yet. It is still as it was. So, if you're launching an update after a huge gap, keep in mind that the number processing could be sorted out. I really apreciate google's talkback though. 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Hate this app had to reset my whole tablet do not mess with this thing messes up your whole device. I can't even uninstall remove this out of my device please whoever installed it bad idea 1/5
Negative review HORRID.. by anonym
Probably the most incompetent app I had ever used. It takes a long time to get the full joist of what to do in the app and achualy it takes and controls your data and when it means it talks back every swipe text movement you do with your tablet/phone/iPod etc it says what you are doing. If u still get this app remember to read the instruction because when you download it and you open it.. That when it takes over. 1/5
Negative review Google Talkback by anonym
More enforcement of bloatwere from good old Google, and more updates! Think I will disable, and many can do the same with this forced piece of garbage! Just goto application manager uninstall updates then disable with pleasure. 1/5
Negative review Thumbs down by anonym
Bad worse worst, what is the next word? I can't even control my phone, it just won't stop talking... wth 1/5
Negative review by anonym
Wish I could rate it zero stars. It took over my phone and ruined my life 1/5
Neutral review Google Starting to listen to the Users? by anonym
TalkBack, the Android ScreenReader, at the outset is a fabulous concept that provides a blind user the experience of out of the box accessibility to Android. Having come through solid stages of evolution right up to Android 4.3, there has been a stagnation in the development of this otherwise wonderful screen reader. There was a major communication issue with the development team not responding to the users, on bugs and issues raised on all relevant platforms. some gains in earlier versions are gone in the latest release, beta testers have reason to feel hard done by. TalkBack development team seems to be changing on to a different track though of late. After a lot of efforts from the TalkBack users on the Eyes-Free mailing list and other platforms, the team has started initiating an engagement with the users. Hopefully this process would go on. Hope the bugs would be addressed, new gestures and features added including to pause and resume reading when reading continuously. And hope it all happen soon, and hope users will be kept involved. Raising the rating a point higher to acknowledge the fresh efforts at listening to the users. 3/5
Negative review Worst with samsung galaxy gt i8262 by anonym
While providing the accebility permission to other app talkback gets starts automatically creating lots of problem and the main thing is that it cannot be turned off untill you cancell the permission for rest all othe apps. 1/5
Negative review Gummy drop by anonym
Would have given 5 stars but want address the problems with fixing it keep taking me back to tokeyo when I was in new York my boats in new York .need to fix it when it is done I will give 5 stars 1/5
Neutral review Disable it by anonym
I never use it... but if u don't want it on your phone... root your phone and uninstall it OR just disable the app on your phone... App Settings... all apps... choose this app... then uninstall updates and disable... problem solved... * the more u know 3/5
Neutral review Not so accessible. by anonym
As it stands, the gestures while simple in description, have absolutely no visual cue or example to go by. I realize that a visual cue may be useless to the blind, but a better audio example would increase ease of use. 3/5
Negative review Never ever try to use it. by anonym
I got a new galaxy s5. When I saw the option of talkback, I just gave it a try but it made my phone go hell. The phone slowed like it has a million viruses. I just disabled the feature after a great difficulty and will not ever try to use it. 1/5
Negative review Ridiculously annoying! by anonym
This is a nightmare. I turned talk back on to see how can it makes a difference on Motorola. It never let me unlock my phone but kept blabbering, I was unable to navigate anywhere on my phone, it kept ringing and I couldn't take calls no matter how many taps. I was unable to receive calls or do anything for 2 hours until I reset. 1/5
Negative review I hate this thing!!! by anonym
I literally had to uninstall the updates and disable the app. It just went off and my phone would start talking back, it would have lags because I can't use my phone as I usually would. I hate talkback!!!! I just want a way to delete the stinking app from my S5 mini. 1/5
Negative review Shut her UP PLEASE!? by anonym
I REALLY wish this TALK BACK crapp was NOT preloaded by Metro PCS!!! I have NO need or desire to constantly hear that annoying female nasal voice reading the screen BACK to me entirely and interrupting my Pandora music especially when I'm listening to my tunes!! Get rid of her FOR GOOD PLEASE!??! Or a least let your customers have the option to delete her instead of battling her and your unnecessary updates causing this drama!!! Thanks in advance for your consideration. 1/5
Negative review Google Nazi's at it again by anonym
Hey you don't want this app? Think you're phone is just fine the way it is now? WRONG say Google! Google's latest force fed down your throat (take it!) is here! More mandatory junk to ensure your phone is slowed down and laggy just in time for your next upgrade ;) 1/5
Positive review Google talkback by anonym
It is really useful if you are in a rush for research and things like homework, and things you only have so much time to do. I gave it five stars because of those reasons. 5/5
Negative review Does what it wants by anonym
I explicitly declined the update after reading so many devices developed issues from it. I don't use it. I don't need it. I don't want it. But some how, it updated itself without my consent. NOT OK. NOT OK IN THE LEAST BIT. 1/5
Negative review Don't want it. Don't need it. Can't uninstall it. by anonym
While I commend Google on their desire to address the needs of all kinds of people they really should NOT be forcing SW I don't need onto my personal device. Especially since they just turned my Nexus 7/12 into a doorstop with the Lollipop release. 1/5
Negative review Another piece of crap by anonym
I want this bloatware removed from my phone...why do you insist we have to have this. People that want it put it on your phone, people that don't allow us to remove this pile of steaming crap! 1/5
Negative review Fuckin' Bloware by anonym
Disabled it, now I have a hand on the notification bar, it's something small but you'll go insane. Google, I don't want to use your Google plus thing, I don't want to use this ether. 1/5
Negative review Do not install this app by anonym
this app flat out sucks and destroyed my phone. I tried to uninstall and now my touchscreen does not work. 1/5
Negative review WTH by anonym
What the heck is wrong with this thing!? I updated it, never actually used it ever, and out of nowhere when my phone has been sitting idly for 20 minutes playing music, it loudly says "please try again" 6 times in a row until I go up to it and back out of it. Then my phone started lagging. Unintalling this junk if I can. Makes me want to explore and find an app that works. Sorry, my G3 deserves better. 2/5
Positive review Google, I like you. But... by anonym
I'm not a big fan of Microsoft, but after trying cortana, I'm not impressed by Google tts' quality. Sure, Google now is much more functional than any competition, but the tts sounds nowhere near as good as cortana 4/5
Negative review Never try it by anonym
I have a galaxy s5 & I hardly use any of this. app I can't Uninstall it gets me upset when they just throw stuff on my phone 1/5
Negative review When I use it on my tablet it... by anonym
