### 1/5 — Worst thing ever!

*2026-01-26*

This thing was so complicated and it was getting all of it wrong and when I would take a picture of the text like it said to, it would just make up random words and put it on there. It  disgusted me. I hate this app and I recommend you never ever ever use it!

### 5/5 — Total Game Changer for My Kid!

*2024-04-15*

Just wow! Found Augmentally for my kiddo who struggles with dyslexia, and it’s been a revelation. The app lets us tweak fonts and colors, which really eases their reading. The read-aloud feature is a godsend—it’s like they have a personal reading buddy! Super easy to use, too, which is great for them. It’s boosted their confidence so much. Seriously, any parent dealing with similar issues should give this a shot!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App for Dyslexic Students!

*2024-04-15*

I'm a teacher with dyslexic students, and Augmentally has been a game changer in my classroom! The customizable fonts and colors really help tailor reading experiences to each student's needs. The read-aloud function is a big hit, providing support exactly when it's needed. It's easy to use and has significantly boosted my students' confidence and engagement. Highly recommend for any educator!

### 5/5 — A lifesaver for reading!

*2024-04-04*

Augmentally has been a game-changer for me. With its special fonts and realistic voices, reading has become so much easier and enjoyable. The AI tutor chatbot is like having a personal guide always ready to help out with tricky passages or questions. Whether you have dyslexia or just want to improve your reading skills, Augmentally is a must-have app. It's made a world of difference for me, and I highly recommend it!

### 1/5 — Can’t even press start

*2022-09-21, version 1.0*

I have iPhone 13. If I open the app I have to scroll to “get started” but the page won’t actually scroll so I can’t click get started

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2022-06-25, version 1.0*

I have dyslexia and use it to read textbooks :)
It picks up words pretty accurately 

Suggestions 
Have the screen automatically move to the part that you are reading 
Reading to continue when the phone locks

### 3/5 — Good, but you need three hands to operate it with an iPad.

*2021-05-24, version 1.0*

This has got some nice features in terms of setting up font, background colour and voice beforehand, but it has the problem shared by most of the book scanning apps for iPads. Most books are paperbacks and need a hand to hold it open. You also need a hand to hold the iPad steady, so how do you capture the image of the page? In the end, I got decent results using my tongue. How about introducing an optional delay of up to 5 seconds for taking the picture?
