Messages Aloud reads your unread Facebook messages aloud so that you can stay connected with your friends anytime, anywhere. Using state of the art text-to-speech technology, you can listen hands-free to whatever your friends post in a soothing voice when you’re driving, walking, working out, or just plain relaxing. Messages Aloud is a personalized “News Radio” that can broadcast your friends’ messages directly to you. Why listen to gritty news that you don’t really need to know from around the world, when you can listen to news from the people you care about instead? It is presently Waiting for Review in the App Store, and should be available very soon.
