Ripeti Con Me! Review - Is it comparable to Glossika Italian?

Read my review here: www.mezzoguild.com/ripeti-con...
My Glossika review for comparison: www.mezzoguild.com/glossika-r...
I was recently sent a sample of Ripeti Con Me! by Stefano Lodola which I reviewed.
It aims to be a Glossika derivative or improvement so I was keen to see just how close they are (if at all) and raise a few pertinent questions.
Here are my thoughts.

I'm Italian and I love your videos and your blog! Is there a glossika italian demo available out there?

[@mezzoguild]

Thanks! You can trial it free on the Glossika website. Would love to hear your input on the regional accent comment.

@@mezzoguild I don't hear any particular regional accent but maybe it's just me? Maybe I don't have good hears for accents? It's not perfect "standard" flawless Italian accent as a professional news reporter one or a classical drama play one, but to be honest I'm not even sure if something like that actually exists in Italian.
The real issue with their sentences is that they sound "unnatural", they use a monotonous voice and almost every sentence drops in tune. It remembers me when teachers let children read out-loud a passage from a book and they read it without giving the right tone.
Like "E' piovuto oggi." It seems almost a TTS :/
But from a grammatical point of view they seem good, as an Italian people would say them.
(but take my comment with a grain of salt)

Thanks for your helpful input! It's great to hear from another Italian on the accent. The monotone voice issue you raise is definitely important too.

This is not a review of Ripeti Con Me, but rather Glossika's advertising.

It's actually quite a detailed review. What does a review look like to you?
