  • Premium is bull

    Paid for premium. Apparently this means I can download 3 pdfs (not enough) but even then, I tried and it didn’t work then got told I hit my limit. No customer service accessible on the website. Nightmare. Con artists. Don’t bother.

  • Not worth the effort

    It’s fine if you just want to copy and paste stuff into the box. I am trying to read in my Kindle app without all the hassle of uploading stuff and having it emailed to the app again. If there’s an easier way, I’m not finding it. The minimalism on the app is nice, but some simple step by step directions of getting a kindle book in my KINDLE app to have the altered font would be SO helpful. It’s two stars because these seem like things that should have been thought of from the start. I want this app to work so well I paid for premium without figuring stuff out first but now I’m stuck with an expensive app I have to do a bunch of work to use.

    Hi aplingtonk. At this time, Amazon Kindle is unfortunately not interested in including Bionic Reading® as a permanent product in their ecosystem for Kindle. Maybe that will change in the future. We hope so. I’m sorry. Best regards from the Swiss Alps, Renato
  • Thank you for an amazing tool for work

    I have been using this tool for months, much of the time to plow through bloated memos and emails. I just don’t have the patience to read either without this tool now. Also is fantastic for long form articles, especially anything technical. I’m perplexed by some of the reviews I see here. I use this on an iPhone and IPad and it’s one of the most robustly reliable apps I have.

    *Update- I took a look at other reviews- they do have issues with subscribing through Apple- that’s legit but easy to navigate. The vast majority of the other objections are absolutely ridiculous. Someone complaining it won’t work on their kindle is my fav…If you’re dyslexic (like my daughter and I are) and have to read technical information do yourself a favor and give this a try. It’s a great product and SUPER EASY TO USE!!!!

  • Broken app

    The update that was pushed out seemingly breaks Sign in with Apple, and won’t allow you to upgrade to their premium plans. Beyond that, the marketing tactics they use to attempt to get people to upgrade are a shame. You have to rummage around their website looking for what the premium app even gets you, and even then, it’s not clear what the benefit is. I’m giving 2 stars, because I think the core idea of this app is a great one. However, the business aspect of this company hurts the apps potential to actually help people… I hope a course correction, or an acquisition by a company like Apple come soon, as I could see Apple just making this a built in accessibility feature in iOS/MacOS.

  • Absolutely Amazing

    I really love using this app to help me read better! It’s hard to explain if you don’t have ADHD, but I’ve always had this disconnect whenever I read. I read the words, but I don’t really process what it is I’m reading, like a wall blocks me from comprehending it. But with methods like this, it helps tear down that wall, and I can better understand what I’m reading! That’s why I’m so grateful to have gotten this app! I enjoy reading a lot more than I do now, and I hope it gets the credit it deserves. Definitely give it a shot if you think Bionic font works for you!

  • Show promise

    Promising but can’t actually convert any documents I need to read with it! Maybe that’s because it’s in the early stages of development? After reading the text in the advert I was hoping it would instantly change my life but I guess I’ll need to wait longer.
