It is easy to accidentally go to the next page. I also could not find a way to set the place where the speed reader marker should be if I was in the middle of a page. The pages also started getting out of order. If I paged forward and back multiple times this would go away. ### 2/5 — Clunky and glitchy *2021-08-17, version 4.8* “Add a catalog?” Of what? How? ”Fully customizable” except the fact that you can’t read any book you’d like. Only a handful of classics and a bunch of no name authors that are free all over the internet. It’s the save 30 books that float around for $3 at Barnes and noble at the entrance and are free on all the book sites online. Disappointed, don’t get duped like I did. ### 5/5 — good app *2021-06-04, version 4.8* good app ### 5/5 — Quick Reader a veritable wealth of books *2021-02-06, version 4.8* So many books from a lot of libraries. ### 4/5 — Buggy *2021-01-15, version 4.8* I just bought this app. The already linked free catalogs is vast enough to read the rest of my life. I really bought this to read my Kindle books. Right after the app recognizes the book in Kindle’s clipboard and I tap on it to start reading it, it crashes. ### 5/5 — Treasure *2020-12-20, version 4.8* In an age devoted to self adulation wherein the inconveinient knowledge of the past is yet again obliterated or silenced by the chitterings of popular dunces given over to political correction and control, thank you for preserving and making readily available the priceless lessons, thoughts and laughter of past generations of both wisdom and folly. ### 5/5 — Excellent wished I discovered this earlier *2020-11-28, version 4.8* If you are looking for a way to speed up reading and comprehension should you have a stack of books ans content to get through this app has got you covered. ### 5/5 — The best to help me reach the goal *2020-11-22, version 4.8* This is the bomb. I’m not exaggerating!! You have access to every book you could ever dream of reading and you have the reading guides that focus your eyes. I went through Jane Eyre in two sittings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a speed reading app *2025-10-04, version 4.8* Does not use RSVP tech and therefore is like buying a vhs player ### 1/5 — Constant crashing on M2 iPad pro *2023-12-26, version 4.8* Ever since I tested out the clear theme which allows you to see the camera view behind text the app simply will not stop crashing. I can’t choose another theme or access certain menus of the app without an inevitable crash. ### 1/5 — No pdf support *2023-01-03, version 4.8* No pdf or webpage support, wasted $5 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-01-02, version 4.8* Supposedly I took a test. Read a Vonnegut short story. Test? Uh, no. ### 1/5 — I can’t read my purchased books. *2022-01-31, version 4.8* Useless to me without being able to use the books I bought on Kindle. Unless there is something I have not learned. ### 1/5 — Devolución *2021-12-29, version 4.8* No se puede importar libros , si pudiera pediría la devolución de mi dinero , no la recomiendo ### 1/5 — Öffnen funktioniert nicht. *2021-07-03* Ich weiß nicht, ob die Entwickler das lesen. Ich kann Bücher, die ich heruntergeladen habe, nicht öffnen. Das ist sehr ärgerlich. Solch ein Produkt sollte im AppStore nicht angeboten werden. ### 1/5 — Как открыть книги с iPad? *2020-12-25* Как открыть книги из внутренней памяти iPad? ### 1/5 — Agregar libros *2020-10-06, version 4.8* No se pueden agregar libros que hayas comprado en Apple o Amazon o kobo o la que sea. Sí tiene una biblioteca pero yo quiero leer mis libros académicos. Si pudiera, pediría mi dinero de vuelta. ### 1/5 — THE DUMBEST APP ON PLANET EARTH! *2020-09-18, version 4.8* This app does not give you any training exercises other than books filled with information that "they" want you to read. In this way they can fill your mind with "whatever" "they" "want" under the guise of: "You're 'learning' how to 'read' faster". In other words, it seems like subliminal messaging similar to the patheticness you will find in the movie The Matrix. To expose your mind to the "unknown" is potentially "dangerous". ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — well worth the $5 *2025-10-14, version 4.8* would highly recommend for highschool children to train this muscle before getting into college and career ### 5/5 — Bien *2025-09-16, version 4.8* Me encanta esta app, me ayuda con el parafraseo al leer y mejorar mi velocidad de lectura ### 5/5 — Top of Its Class *2025-06-18, version 4.8* I’ve tried every speed reading app I could find, and this is the one I keep going back to. ### 5/5 — Thanking you. *2025-04-20* God bless! For the developers of this tutorial app. Thank you for your kind support. ### 5/5 — Excellent for improving reading speed *2024-07-01, version 4.8* I enjoy using the guided reading feature to train my eye movement to track along the page faster and to read words ins sets instead of singularly. The controls allow for moving between speeds easily and to adjust the guide quickly. I especially love have a library of quality books to pick from for my reading workouts. Totally worth the money. ### 5/5 — Just another human *2023-05-20, version 4.8* I love this app. I've had it for more than 10 years. I simply love it. ### 5/5 — Best appliccation *2022-07-23, version 4.8* Best application I found. Works on iPad 2 ### 5/5 — Useful and elegant *2022-06-06, version 4.8* Great app very well designed (and maintained). It allows for a lot of customisation to make it your own in a elegant way. I find the adding from pasteboard a very useful feature. ### 5/5 — Un truc *2022-02-24, version 4.8* Au début, je n’y arrivait pas: mes yeux rebelles ne voulaient pas suivre le rectangle de couleur qui surlignait le mot à lire. Alors j’ai eu l’idée: si je mettais le texte de la même couleur que le papier et le rectangle surligneur assez foncé, alors là je serais obligé de suivre. Je remarque en l’écrivant que l’inverse doit fonctionner à merveille: j’y vais de ce pas!!! Trad Google: At first, I couldn't do it: my rebellious eyes didn't want to follow the colored rectangle that highlighted the word to be read. So I had the idea: if I put the text in the same color as the paper and the highlighter rectangle dark enough, then there I would have to follow. I notice while writing it that the reverse must work wonderfully: I'm going right now!!! ### 5/5 — It works!! Very well indeed!! *2021-07-10, version 4.8* The eye training and pacing routines get the job done. My reading speed went up more than 250% — in less than a year! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
