Great features

Apart from its great features, the Staff Pick section is the best. Using since more than one year.

Woah!

Myślałem, że to będzie prosta apka do czytania tekstów, ale to prawdziwy kombajn do nauki i uczenia się szybkiego czytania. Bardzo pomysłowe ćwiczenia. Chętnie sobie powtarzam wieczorami :)

Please fix these

This app is great and I figured out that I can actually read at a pace of 416 words per minute however there are a few things I would like you to fix about it. First, please add more interesting books I can almost never find anything interesting and second, please make it so that the non-pros don’t only get one book at least add a few more. If these get fixed I would rate it a 5 star however for now I will rate it a 3 star for these reasons
