Practical
I just barely downloaded this and I already love it.
When I found this, I was looking for some kind of auto-scrolling app that could connect to my Kindle app. That way, I'd be able to do other things with my hands while I'm reading.
It's a shame that this app is currently only compatible with safari. I hope this changes in the future.

Great, but with a few notes
I think Athena works remarkably well given that the iPhone isn’t exactly made for eye tracking. I think it’s easy for the tracking to become inaccurate or unresponsive over time. A settings menu with options to calibrate tracking, manually adjust scroll speed, or to make cosmetic ui changes would be much appreciated. Also, I would prefer that the app tried to stay more faithful to the look of the original website; the default reader look is inoffensive, but websites loose their charm. I feel that it opens videos too easily as well. If it takes up a lot of space on the screen, it’ll keep opening the video, even when I’m looking nearby-ish. It would also be nice to be able to browse and search for websites within the Athena app itself. Other than that, very impressive!

Athena is a game changer!
I read a lot on the internet and scrolling with my thumb page after page was not only annoying but was giving me carpal tunnel. This allows me to relax and just read!
