## What is Flash Reader Pro?

Ever had to read through a an email, book or an article on the web, but felt like it took ages to read through it all?

Normally your brain will attempt to pronounce words you read, which is called subvocalization or internal speech.
Flash Reader removes this limitation by showing you words so fast that your brain doesn't have time to subvocalize, but still allows you to retain everything you've read, by something called RSVP.

Whether it's light reading, or complicated business emails, training your eyes to read faster couldn't be easier, while your reading skill and comprehension will keep getting better and better with each article you finish.

3rd Party Support:
• Pocket, Instapaper & Dropbox support
• Open & import eBook files and docs such as DOC, RTF, TXT, PDF, EPUB,  DOCX, AZW (Amazon Kindle .AZW files only), MOBI and ODT (OpenDocument) files, all formats are included with the app!

Note: Documents need to be DRM-free (no copy protection) and have no OCR (scanned) elements.

Key Features:
• Massive document format support
• Import from Dropbox, iTunes and any other app capable of opening files
• Built-in web-browser, with full support for Google search and saving articles
• Bookmarking, easily resume where you left off
• Import documents by using your Camera
• iOS 8 Extension for easy importing of both files and websites
• Different reading modes to suit your needs
• Customization, including words per minute (WPM), words per flash, themes, fonts and font sizes
• Boost your productivity and learn to speed read at lightning fast speeds
• Universal, works on iPhone, iPod & iPad (iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus included!)

### 4/5 — Only good app of this type I've found

*2024-01-24*

Needs a better way to navigate or bookmark progress, if you miss a sentence it's hard to easily go back

### 2/5 — No chapter support for books

*2022-11-02, version 3.3.5*

I bought this to help get through books faster and it has no support to jump to specific chapters in epubs. There is a scroll bar at the top that allows you to scan through the entire book, but at one word at a time it’s nearly impossible to use to find where you want in the book.

It looks like it would be a great app if it had better support for navigating large files. If you’re wanting to use this for epub books, it’s not a good experience.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2020-07-15, version 3.3.5*

This app is trash. Nothing works. Absolutely nothing.

### 5/5 — I have tried ‘em all. Finally! What i wanted!!!!

*2019-03-27, version 3.3.4*

I have so much to read and not enough time. I bought every word flasher app but none of them were as easy to go from article in chrome or safari to saving and reading it in this app seamlessly, quick, and easily! I have 237 apps on my phone. This one is my most valued one with a coveted spot at the bottom four app drawer.

### 4/5 — "An amazing tool" - edited review

*2017-07-25, version 3.3.3*

"I really get a lot of use out of this app! I recommend it to everyone :)"

That was my original review above. I wanted to come back and knock 1 star off simply because I'm worried this app has been abandoned... There are some bugs with it that prevent heavy duty, frequent use of the app, and there are some things they could do to slightly streamline it as well.

All the above doesn't matter if they don't prepare the app for the upcoming IOS release.

### 1/5 — I love this app -- Except

*2017-02-20, version 3.3.1*

I have never been able to load anything significant into it.  The instructions for loading material are worse than useless: they don't make sense and don't work.  This would be my primary reader if only I were able to use it.  No response from customer support either.

### 5/5 — good flash reading app

*2016-11-25, version 3.3.1*

great app for reading

needs iPhone 6+ support
Google drive, icloud import support
iOS9 activities support

### 1/5 — TECHNICAL SUPPORT AWOL

*2015-10-11, version 3.2.3*

Beware. I received no response from technical support when I had a question. 

UNACCEPTABLE!
