They all help me and I will never use the IPhone primary for my reading or music needs. The apple system is not good enough for that and besides, its much easyer for example to activate the sleep timer or just to quickly skip to the next radio station on the stream or other player than it would be to do on the IPhone. There are so much disadvantages to use a phone for all of this exclusively that I hate it, but yes voicedream is a good app. I rather get an IPad mini to help out where the IPhone cannot always do enough.
