It’s something great that the bridge will underneath arrive. LOL When I first started playing this game, I didn't quite think it was all that interesting. However, it quickly turned into a very interesting game -- and a challenging one, too! The gameplay is very simple: you watch a sentence displayed on the screen one word at a time and then you have to find the same sentence from a list of six or seven choices. This game definitely tests your memory! Very recommended! ### 4/5 — Great game *2020-06-21, version 2.1* Great app. Will benefit from progressing by stages of difficulties ( short/medium/long sentences, slow/medium/fast speed) ### 4/5 — Sharpens the eye *2020-03-14, version 2.1* How many times do we misread the printed page? This -hopefully- trains the reader to be more accurate in reading while reading fast. ### 4/5 — Good game/memory tool *2019-03-04, version 2.1* Would give five stars if the sentences weren’t so funky. They’ll be like “a farm will only bend the broom.” I’m cool with that but more as an FYI. ### 4/5 — Great, challenging and fun - but.... *2019-02-05, version 2.1* ....is there a way within the app to discover quite HOW fast you manage to read? ### 4/5 — Simple and fun way to learn speed reading *2018-12-15, version 2.1* Unlike many other apps, the free version is not overloaded and ruined with adverts ### 4/5 — Good *2018-12-11, version 2.1* Trying to practice speed reading don’t know whether this would work ### 4/5 — Pretty fun. *2018-09-02, version 2.1* I just enjoy the challenge. It’s good focus training. ### 5/5 — Great speed reading app *2018-07-22, version 2.1* This app is great for challenging your speed reading ability. ### 5/5 — Great for sharpening the eye and mind *2017-11-18, version 2.1* This increases my ability to observe what I read and sharpen my ability to comprehend and be more detail oriented quickly. My 9year old uses this on long commutes and gets enthralled as he feels the need to think fast with words and comprehension, not just in gaming. Great mental exercise. ### 5/5 — Good enough... *2017-11-05, version 2.1* I could suggest improvements, but they’re highly subjective, of course. I’ll give it 5 anyway. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads in weird places *2023-02-10, version 2.1* During the run through of about every 4 sentences, an ad plays over the top of it, leaving you clueless on how to answer the follow up question. Also, this is not a reading helper as much as a memory helper. You have to memorize every word on the screen in order to answer the follow up question. The words combine to make gibberish sentences, which doesn’t help with the natural flow and structure of the English language. In summary: pass on this one, it’s a waste of space, time, and bandwidth. ### 1/5 — Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeee *2023-01-01, version 2.1* Hate so much that will never download again ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-07-22, version 2.1* This is not speed reading but temporarily memorizing a random string of words that have no logical meaning. ### 1/5 — Truly Awful Game *2021-02-12, version 2.1* A wise man once said: ”A hall will tickle inside the notebook since an effect will pretend into the invention” Oh, wait! No that was just one of the sentences found in this awful game. Here are some more: “The old playground will deserve even though the goose will plug” “A trip damaged whether the ray belonged amid a space supposing the airport preached including the soup.” ”A tough selfish clam will desert magically” If you like this game, YOU are the problem. ### 1/5 — Pointless. *2018-02-09, version 2.1* I’m not sure how this app has more than 1 star. It really is pointless. ### 1/5 — Cheap trick to make you watch ads *2016-10-14, version 2.0* There's no program to develop a skill here. It simply flashes nonsense phrases in front of you at increasing speed and then gives a multiple choice quiz. Then it makes you watch an animated ad before you can continue. That's it. :( ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-10-26, version 1.1* I couldn't even get the app started... ### 2/5 — Duplicate right answers! *2020-02-19, version 2.1* I would love this app if it didn’t have two sometimes three right answers!!!! :( ### 2/5 — Okay *2018-06-13, version 2.1* Okay game ### 3/5 — Hmmm...will I read faster? *2018-05-30, version 2.1* The game is nerdy addictive. If you’re a competive nerd, you won’t be able to put it down. Will it train me read faster? We’ll see. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-09, version 2.1* You need to be awake to concentrate, but it’s kind of fun! ### 5/5 — Interesting App *2021-06-17, version 2.1* Interesting App ### 5/5 — Exciting *2021-03-18, version 2.1* Can’t stop ### 5/5 — Better than expected, so far. *2020-04-01, version 2.1* I’m early on in the progression, so it will probably get better as I go. Hopefully. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2020-03-29, version 2.1* 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2020-03-14, version 2.1* I like this app - offers a different approach to improving your reading speed. ### 5/5 — Great challenge for second language *2019-07-14, version 2.1* I like it and it is fun to play. I also liked the typo. Why sometimes words are larger ? Great way to learn, thank you. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2018-12-14, version 2.1* Excellent for reading and memory! ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-09-21, version 2.1* This is the perfect tool for anyone looking to develop their reading speed. ### 5/5 — Interesting game *2018-09-06, version 2.1* I think it helps you pay attention to detail. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
