## What is Celer?

Ever finish a page and realize you remember nothing? Read the same sentence three times and still lose your place? Celer was built for exactly that.

Celer guides your eyes through the text with subtle highlighting, so your attention has a track to follow. Readers with ADHD and dyslexia tell us it's the difference between fighting a page and finishing it.

HOW IT HELPS
• Guided highlighting keeps your place — no more re-reading the same line
• Adjustable pace: the text moves with you, not against you
• Distraction-free reading screen, tuned for focus
• Comprehension grows because your attention stays where the words are

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
• Import EPUB, PDF, MOBI, RTF and TXT
• Massive free classics library, ready to read
• Follow articles and news with built-in RSS
• Highlights and notes that stay with your books

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts required, no personal data collected. Your reading stays yours.

Whether you have ADHD, dyslexia, or just a phone full of distractions, Celer helps you actually finish what you start. Try it free.

Celer is an assistive reading tool, not a medical device or treatment.

### 2/5 — Без подписки нет смысла

*2026-03-07*

+ удобный интерфейс 
- все «выделения» платные, без подписки обычное ненужное приложение для чтения

### 5/5 — Really Love This App

*2026-02-16*

This app is better than the official bionic reading and way more affordable for those with ADHD or any reading difficulties. The developer is also very active and passionate about it and is open to feedback and improvement. Super grateful for his continued work and to be able to afford an app that helps me get through grad school and any readings I chose. It’s not all the time that I can rate an app 5/5 for its reliability of the developer.

Found this very helpful

### 5/5 — BasicallyBlind

*2025-06-24*

Found this very helpful as I love to read but have eye issues on top of dyslexia/adhd. This definitely increased my ability to read faster and absorb what I’m reading. Gentle on my fragile eyes. Love the dark theme and my color options. Would definitely recommend 
<(‘-‘<)

### 4/5 — Great Idea

*2025-04-25*

Хорошее приложение, жаль, что поддерживает только английский язык. Хотелось бы добавления русского языка :) Минус — подписка очень дорогая!

Желаю разработчикам успехов в развитии и популяризации приложения в разных странах 🌟✨

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв 🙏😊

Приложение недавно было обновлено и включает русский язык. Не стесняйтесь попробовать!

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2024-11-14*

The app crashed as soon as I select the book to import. It’s a cool idea but didn’t get to experience due to the crashing.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. Could you please contact us at support@celer.life, because we can't identify what's causing the crash. Our analytics tools doesn't seem to show the issue you have described. 

We're doing the best we can, thank you.

### 4/5 — Working great for me so far, better than the others

*2024-04-22*

I tried a few of the other bionic reading apps on the App Store and was disappointed in the features. The bionic processing was great on the other apps, but I couldn’t even save my place in a book. This app has a great interface and tons of features which makes it just what I was looking for. The bolding of the syllables seems to be a bit more random and less helpful than the more popular apps, but the interface makes up for it. My one request to the devs is for a darker “dark mode”. The current one is not high contrast enough, I’d really love to be able to have full black background with full white text.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your insightful feedback. A darker theme will be introduced in the upcoming update. Stay tuned and have a nice reading 🤓📚

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2023-08-30*

Just like all the others, this one is a ripoff. You cannot download your bionic-processed books, so they have to remain on the app’s servers, meaning you will lose whatever you had if you quit the app. There is zero reason to do that except to force people to pay for the ludicrous annual fee - really? $80/year? 

It’s too bad this app isn’t a reasonable one-time fee, because the app seems to work better than others I’ve tried. But because it’s just as punishing to disabled people who need it, I will give it the same one star rating.

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2023-08-13*

Advertises itself primarily for bionic reading, but this it transpires is a Premium-only feature. Deceptive, and extremely irritating for a student with ADHD simply trying to get work done.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2023-07-10*

Tried to import my own document. The app crashed and wouldnt reopen. Tried deleting and re-downloading and it kept crashing.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you very much for your feedback. This issue has been resolved in the latest update. 

Have a good one 👋
