Do NOT Purchase! *2025-02-08, version 2.4* This app is absolute garbage. $79.99 right from the start, you can’t even preview the app without purchasing! Then, the app doesn’t even work! I tried uploading a pdf to convert it several times and it just gets stuck loading. Apple won’t refund! I wanted this for my kid who had ADHD, so misleading! It deserves 0 stars! ### 1/5 — After reading another review I had very low expectations *2025-01-27* Conclusion: it’s worse than I expected. This is the most amateurish app that I have ever seen and they have the gall to charge $79 within 30 seconds of opening it and even before seeing any menus, options, settings, content, etc. The developer has obviously paid for fake reviews because any review that’s better than 1-star is either a bot or someone with incredibly low expectations. No idea if the app even works. It took me just two minutes in the app before I knew I needed to delete it. If you decide to install it, just do it for fun to see how awful it is 🤦🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Testen unmöglich *2025-01-26* Wollt‘s ausprobieren, weil ich langfristig eine Möglichkeit suche, um Ebooks mit Bionic Reading Methode zu lesen. Ob und wie die Unwandlung von Ebooks funktioniert, ob eine Integration in oder Kommunikation mot Ebook Apps wie Kindle oder Apple Books möglich ist. Gibt keine Möglichkeit außer ich zahle ein Minimum von 9,99 (wird in der Beschreibung fälschlicherweise auch noch günstiger angegeben). Das ist mir viel zu viel, um auszuprobieren, ob die App mir überhaupt bringt, was ich suche. Deinstalliert, probiere jetzt die Konkurrenz aus. Schade ### 1/5 — Nothing happens after uploading epub *2025-01-06* Purchased premium, uploaded an epub file and it returns nothing…doesn’t work at all 🥲 ### 1/5 — $8.99 Weekly? *2024-11-10, version 2.4* Thanks for taking advantage of people with disabilities. Forget about it. I will keep trying another way. This pricing is just insane. ### 1/5 — Doesn't allow to read anything *2024-10-03* You install the app and the very next step you have to do is subscribe for premium. It wouldn't let you read anything. Could be at least some trial pages to get the feel of it. Nope, nothing. But how can I know if it's worth the money? And why do you call it "Premium" if that's the only subscription option available? Waste of time and very misleading! ### 1/5 — STOP *2024-09-27, version 2.3* This app is entirely subscriptions only. Nothing free. Don’t download ### 1/5 — Ads ads!!! *2024-09-02, version 2.3* Lots of ads. You are not allowed to use anything other than copy text! And only once a day. ### 2/5 — Avis *2024-08-13* L’appli est bien dommage que ce soit payant De plus on ne peut pas faire de copier coller **Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis sur Fast Read.

You can’t even try the app before purchasing subscription. Whatever you click, takes you to purchase page and only option is to choose one of the two subscriptions and click continue. Even the continue button is not fully within the screen on my iPhone. What a waste of time. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback on Fast Read.

I don’t purchase software without testing it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — APP IS A DUD *2026-01-05* I paid the subscription but it won’t let me upload content unless I pay again. I’ve contacted the developer requesting a refund but haven’t heard a word back. What I don’t understand is that Apple is prepared to list the app - I thought we were protected from this type of scam. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-23* The reviews seem to be paid. They make you subscribe before testing anything. This is a scam ### 1/5 — Scammer *2025-11-01* First thing you see is a rating window. How can you rate it before you’re able to use it?! You rate it is order to advance to the next window, which hits you up for $79 a year and you still haven’t had an opportunity to try it. SCAMMER! ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-11-01, version 2.4* The app pressures you to make a purchase within the first 30 seconds of opening it, before testing it, and it’s absolutely not worth it. Even if you request a refund within the first 24 hours, Apple won’t grant it. $79.99 lost. ### 1/5 — Not Worth It *2025-08-23* Slow, glitchy and can’t upload images. Just went to ChatGPT and it took a pic from a book and translated it into Bionic Reading font in 2 seconds. AI for the win! ### 1/5 — 👎 *2025-08-03* Everything is paid. Do not download ### 1/5 — Non-working App *2025-07-11, version 2.4* The Big Ohhh ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-05-07, version 2.4* This is a scam- do not buy ### 1/5 — Issues kept happening *2025-05-04* Restore purchase doesn’t work. I paid the money and now it keeps asking me to purchase again. Upload took so long without showing if it’s working or not, some point I was worried that the app could stuck and decided to redownload. And now I am stuck with my license when I already paid for it. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-04-12, version 2.4* Unless you can copy and paste an entire book, it’s not worth it. Super disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-04-13* this is the best app i have on my phone. they do expect you to pay 80 bucks for a year, but with the regular unpaid version you can just copy paste text into the format for free. i’m a student in hs and this app helps me read so much faster and understand so much better than when i don’t use it. idk where i would be without this incredibly brilliant app ### 5/5 — Oh wow *2025-02-26* It was like putting glasses on my brain. ### 5/5 — Luv this app *2024-11-24* I can read so much faster thx ### 5/5 — Honest Opinion *2024-10-31* I have ADHD so this really helps a lot ### 5/5 — 评论 *2024-09-29* 通过加粗前面具有代表性的字母，充分发挥人脑的常识性和阅读经验。只看到加粗的字母，大脑的运行速度很快，大概就推断出这是哪个单词，然后粗略的扫一遍这个单词的未加粗的部分便可确认这个单词，中间的花费的时间很少，阅读速度大大提升。当然看未加粗的部分是后话，因为一句话到底是什么意思可以根据这句话的我们的大脑在看到部分内容后会有先断，只通过加粗字母，读者读完后会形成一段猜测的意思，只要逻辑合理，一般都是这句话原意。 ### 5/5 — Fast read for ADHD *2024-06-11* Love this app - it’s really helped me to get back to enjoying reading. I find it helps me concentrate and stay focused which I struggle with due to my ADHD. ### 5/5 — Wonderful tool and resource! *2022-06-18* I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — It WORKS! *2022-06-13, version 1.4* It WORKS! ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-08-11* The app works great and I’m able to read better My only complain is the price 7.99 a week for this seems steep I would pay 40 bucks for the year but not 7.99 a week If y’all could work something out with me y’all can take my money but not 7.99 a week ### 3/5 — Good for a day *2025-02-04* I used this app twice and i loved it but now the pdf is not working --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
