### 1/5 — Great App If Book Upload Were Functional

*2025-05-15*

I was really excited about the possibilities Literary presented. It works really well with the 23 classic books that come preloaded with the app. Unfortunately, something is broken with both Google Drive and Dropbox access and there is no option to access books using the Files app. Without access to additional upload options for other documents, an app with incredible potential is really limited.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2023-04-18*

The three dots just sit and spin around.  I gave up after 10 min.

### 1/5 — Can’t upload books at all

*2022-12-14*

This app seems like it’d be really good, and while there are a handful of common books, k can’t upload my own at all, Dropbox gets an error message about the user limit being reached, and google drive gets a security warning. Please fix this if you can, I really do want to enjoy this app.

### 2/5 — Unable to import

*2022-12-31*

The interface is great and it works wonderful with book already there, but I am unable to import books from Dropbox or google drive. Please fix. Will give 5 stars if this was fixed. Thank you

### 3/5 — Doesn’t import

*2019-12-10*

Wanted to give it a try but it won’t log into drop box, and google drive gives a security warning.

Publisher of the app need to get the Dropbox api and get the app digitally signed by google drive....

### 5/5 — So well done!!

*2020-02-01*

Please allow links and paste!!!!!!
One of the best rsvp apps out there!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-12-02*

I’m an avid reader, and I’ve been searching for a substitute speed reading app that uses RSVP to replace my existing app that was dropped from the App Store 4 years ago. The Google Drive integration allows me to easily and quickly download new books. 

I particularly like the user interface with the rings, the colors, the way the entire sentence is shown below the rewind/fast forward. 

The only suggestion I have is to make an option to center the word in reading mode.
