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

J’aime pouvoir une traduction de l’application en français

exciting

the app is a useful tool, the range of speed and opportunities to incorporate increased reading speeds can be improved- the current greatest words per minute is roughly 1,500 words per minute the Outread speed reading training app could easily increase this to 15,000 words per minute or greater

I like the training update

goood.

Works great

Does what it says on the tin.

2.0

OutRead 2.0, phenomenal. I love the daily exercises. Right now I’m just doing the daily exercises. When I reach day 30 I’m going to test my reading comprehension. When I tested it was only 171wpm comprehension 84%. I know it’s slow, but I focused more on comprehension than speed. Speed without comprehension is not impressive. I’m on day 25, so in a few more days I’ll update my review with the results. I have seen in improvement outside the app. For instance when I receive a 6 digit OTP(one time password.) I see it once and I have it. No more repeating it in my mind or looking at it more than once.

Update:
Start 171 wpm 84% comprehension
After only doing the daily exercises everyday for the last 30 days.
224wpm 100% comprehension.
I’d say that’s a huge improvement.

I Love the Recent New Updates

I really love the recent new updates with daily guided training and the increased variety of exercises, in addition to the original speed reading test and book reading. I love that by using the guided daily training, I am able to practice speed reading on a more systematic, regular schedule, and I would know when is the good time to move on to the next level (before the updates I didn’t really know when to level up). With the new updates, I was motivated more to practice everyday. Thank you and keep up the good work!

The best feature of this app

The best feature of this app - it’s free, i love reading the staff selected articles at a speed i want to develop.

Im reading more

I cannot read the news on my phone. Too many distractions, the constant scrolling, the pop up ads. Its too much for me. To the point that I subscibe to the physical paper for my news. Ive been aware of speed reading for a while, but this app has taken what was once a chore (copy and pasting whole articles from tempermental sites into a reader can be extremely finicky) and reduced it to a few clicks. Ive subscribed to NYT and WSJ in the week since Ive started using it and I am reading much more that I was before.

Much improved

I’ve had Outread for a while. They used to be just OK, but have filled out the features to be really ideal.

OUTread OUTshines

OUTstanding app in so many ways and the OUTpouring of updates keeps adding value. I’ve tried a variety of these reading apps and OUTread OUTperforms every rival. If you want to OUTclass in reading and comprehension this is the way to OUTsmart folks.

Genious way to increase speed

This app is improving on and on. Each update gets better and better. This is the best app for speed reading, period.

Amazing!

Use it for several months! Love it!

Great updates

I really like this app, it works well, lots of settings. I was literally looking for one that has the character highlighting the other week and now they’ve added it.

My only issue is that some epubs don’t import properly - the app thinks they are empty when they are not.

Reading With Superpowers

Like probably many others, I discovered Outread after the viral video about speed reading in this format. After a few days of testing on the free plan, I went ahead and purchased a lifetime license. This is a game changer! I can read PDFs, GPT chats, the Bible, etc. I’m currently reading around 320 WPM, but I can feel my ability to focus growing like a muscle. The developers are actively improving the application, very happy with recent updates.

Absolutely love it

I’ve spent about an hour with this app - exploring the available library, the various speed-reading options, the brain-training exercises - and I’m thrilled to find this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It’s got a whole bunch of the books I’ve had on my to-read list for months, and I can’t wait to get started. 5/5⭐️

Feedback

As a user of this app I enjoy it but dont call it free if you need a prescription for 98% if anything on here don't download it unless you plan on subscribing

Simple idea, big impact

I can sustain focus and continue to be engaged while reading long articles or books, effortlessly!

Developer is a chad

Idk if he even saw my first email but i asked for some form of bookmarking and not a month or two later did he add that feature.

Then i noticed a bug and he promptly fixed it in two days. What a 10x chad im a convert for life.
