We have received feedback from people with ADHD that thanks to Bionic Reading® they immediately understood the content of various texts the first time they read them, which was impossible without Bionic Reading®. COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK. Jessica: “Having ADHD and processing issues means that I read very slow because my brain can’t focus on the words enough to both read them and process what they mean at a decent pace. Using Bionic Reading® has allowed me to feel functional and productive when I’m reading something lengthy – it’s such a GAME CHANGER!” Lisa: “I have not read fiction for 20 years. I read what I have to read. It almost hurts my brain to read regular type. But now I will be reading fiction again! Bionic Reading® works for me and I can read 2–3 times faster! AMAZING! This is a LIFE CHANGER! Thank You!” Patrick: “OK, Bionic Reading® is the real deal. I already read quickly and this doubled it.” Reaction from Daniel: “Holy smokes you’re not kidding!” Carla: “WOW! I could read quickly and fluently using Bionic Reading®. Doing this helped me understand the context of the paragraph much better than when I have to squint and focus on each word, which tires me out and I lose focus. Bionic Reading® is brilliant!” Nestor: “Your tool is gorgeous, It’s helping me a lot. My sight is reduced because one of my transplanted corneas has become opaque and Bionic Reading® is helping me a lot to read easier and comprehend faster.” TYPOGRAPHY. DESIGN. SWITZERLAND.

The app doesn’t work and when you ask for assistance they will gaslight you. You will pay for subscriptions that don’t work. I highly recommend using another app. ### 1/5 — Membership issue *2026-03-16* Impossible to contact their customer service (if there’s one) I bought my membership but my laptop is not recognised ### 1/5 — free to download to use the feature is a subscription *2026-01-06, version 2.7.2* That is BS MAKING THE FEATURES SUBSCRIPTION IT SHOULDN’T BE A FREE APP ### 1/5 — Can’t access premium features after paying subscription fee *2025-11-28* I purchased a monthly subscription to Bionic Reading Premium but the app never updated. I can’t use any premium features. ### 1/5 — 198的会员用不了 *2025-08-29* 购买了为期一年的会员却无法享受服务 ### 1/5 — Обломайтесь! *2025-05-13* На русском не работает. Книги не полностью загружает. Не качайте! ### 1/5 — RAID *2025-04-26, version 2.7.0* RAID ### 2/5 — Convoluted Pricing *2025-02-17, version 2.6.12* For an app targeting folks with ADHD, they make it really difficult to purchase. First needing a subscription instead of a one time purchase is terrible. Second, i dont get what each subscription offers. Limitations on text means it will only convert some of a book? I don't know. I like the font. I have money. I dont want a subscription and I want an easy way to purchase. Just charge a one time fee to buy the app in the store. And let me upload books into when i need to read them. Simple. ### 5/5 — Bis hier her schon nicht schlecht! *2025-02-05* Freue mich auf die weiteren Entwicklungsfortschritte 💪 **Developer response:** Hi dear Kanlublenl. THANK YOU so much for 5***** 😍🫶🙌❤️. That motivates me a lot. We have another product that you might like: BIONIC READING® FONT.

Respectful regards from the Swiss Alps, Renato🤓🇨🇭 ### 1/5 — What a decline *2025-01-22, version 2.6.12* I was an early adopter of this app. I use it on the web a lot. However, after a break from reading I went back to this iOS app. It’s now completely unusable. When I tired to read one article this month it didn’t work. When I went to try again I got an error message that I’ve reach my limit. I didn’t even get to use it once in a month? While I want to support this app I can’t in good conscience pay for it not know if it’s even going to work once I do. How can the dev resolve this? Make the free tier functional but limited. Better explain what the limits are with tiers and when you are approaching said limits. ## Frequently asked questions about Bionic Reading® ### What does the Bionic Reading® app do?
