Don’t bother
They ruined this app
Why did you ruin this amazing app? It used to show you one word at a time, where the focus was in the middle of the word, and you could set the speed or wpm. This no longer lets you see one word at a time, it is only 5 words or more, which makes this app garbage, absolutely useless. The whole point was to speed read using the spritz system. I could absorb 500 words per minute, but now they ruined this app delete

Removed the feature I bought it for (Spritz)
I’ve enjoyed this app for years. I originally purchased it to speed read books using their spritz focus mode. Now that mode has been removed, so the app has no use to me.
Why did you remove Spritz ?
What’s the point without Spritz ? That was the reason I bought the app . Also I bought the lifetime version but after a year it asked me to upgrade for more money .
Bon mais…
J’ai changé d’appareil, j’ai un abonnement premium à vie et je n’arrive plus à me connecter à mon compte.

1. Очень допотопный интерфейс ( вернись в 2010), заметно что разработчик не хочет улучшать и работать над продуктом.
2. Приложение только для EN. Перевели на русский только наверное 20% . Все соглашения и прочее на английском.
+
1. Идея
2. Пробная подписка - не пришлось тратиться на проверку .
Прикольно, но если хочется понятное и удобное приложение, на мой вкус это не сюда. Даже вникать в эту кразябру не захотелось .

Would’ve subscribed
If only if it displayed spritz reader in chunks of words, single words are too fast rather use my peripheral vision.
Never been able to figure it out
Had this app forever, can’t figure out how to load books. Tried several ways. Time to look for other similar apps. Bummer
Disgusted
Whilst I am happy to see the sync feature added, I am now disgusted to see that the developer wants to charge me every month for its use. I have already purchased the app, and I don't want to have to keep paying for it again and again. What is even worse, is that I updated to the latest release as soon as it became available, and found that my registration was cancelled...I thought nothing of it at the time, so just re registered. Hours later I get a message, saying that I have to pay continuously? Perhaps it was in the small print? I understand the need to be paid for work, and I understand the model of subscription to support that. I am an author, but I can't ask my readers to pay me just a little more every month to have the ability to read a book they already paid for. Instead I have to create more books and hope that they buy those too. The developers of mymovies, created a much improved release and offered it at a one time upgrade cost to get access to the new features, and to fund their work. I can go with that, but will not to it monthly for as long as I want to use it. If I have inadvertently "signed up" to this monthly charge by reregestering, please CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION IMMEDIATELY. Please confirm that you have received this instruction. I love your software, and would have happily paid a one off cost to support its development. I will look for another app that supports the spritz technology. Update October 2022 App kicked me out (I’d paid for lifetime access), my password failed even though it was right (which happens frequently). Clicked reset password 3 times in 2 days…nothing. Emailed support, and got an auto responder. Again, nothing. Brilliant when it works, sadly that’s not very often and support don’t even respond.

It went through the intial setup but once I get into the book and flipped a few pages, the toolbar & menu diasppeared.
The File, Edit menus have nothing and theres nowhere else to look/click rendering this nothing more than any old e-reader app

Love this app!
Love this app! Easy and straight forward to navigate with a user friendly design. Also a really decent price considering the features that are included. This is (I believe) the only app of this sort that I’ve been able to find that has these features that can be applied to your own documents (as opposed to only within safari. It’s perfect for anyone that needs to read documents and wants to avoid computer eye strain, or users with reading disabilities difficulty focussing whilst reading. Thank you!
I also have some requests/suggestions for features please 😊
- Please please please: I would love to see a Mac version of this app (I’m a student and this would make it so much easier to read research journals on my laptop etc)
- A feature that would allow the user to highlight phrases within books/documents.
Thanks again to the developer 😊

Not reliable, developer had years to fix. Still has not.
I contacted support, and received confirmation that they knew about this issue: your book does not continue at the same spot of you close the book and come back, or if you close the app and come back.
It seems absolutely unforgivable that a reading app cannot continue on the page I left off on.
It has been year after year and they have still not fixed this issue.

Disappointing
Great tech, subscription model for tech I previously purchased is poor business. The need to be logged in to achieve higher speeds is, frankly, stupid as is the need to be online to use the app - great tech wrecked by greed and manipulative practices.
In serious need of an overhaul
I’ve had ReadMe! for years - since before you had to pay for it. It’s still just a basic reading app. I got it because I wanted to try Spritz - which itself has issues. Even after years of availability, the library STILL cannot be sorted. If you are an avid reader as I am, you have thousands of books. Imagine trying to find a particular book. Now imagine remembering the book but not remembering the author’s name or the book title. You have to sort through thousands of titles until you maybe see something that reminds which book you’re thinking of.
The developer should have provided us with sorting capability YEARS ago - sort by title, sort by author, sort by category.... and that’s another issue. There is no way to categorize your books. The bookshelf should have been able to have categories assigned - fiction, non-fiction, young adult fiction, children’s fiction (where the books I write listed), science fiction, non-fiction biographies, non-fiction autobiographies, history - you get the picture.
This is still just a basic app with limited capability. At least Apple’s iBooks gives you the ability to create categories to put your books under. Perhaps the developers should look at iBooks and Marvin for examples of what a reader should be able to do....

Made a huge difference to my life
The rate that I can go through books using Spritz on this app is astonishing compared to how fast I was reading before. I would suggest having a notebook or note-taking app while using it, so you can remember and revise anything particularly important in each book you read. If exportable clippings like the feature in Kindle could be implemented into the app it might be even better.
I also wonder whether having a button to speed up or slow down the current WPM rate might be useful, like +50 -50 etc. As not all passages are equally easy to read.
The ePub reader itself works very smoothly, and is good for examining passages at your own pace.

Куда катитесь
Займитесь приложением, часто всё зависает, особенно когда меняет ориентацию экрана. Beeline вообще некоторые слова книги прячет, что текст не до конца видно. Мне не жалко платить деньги за продукт, я понять не могу, почему вы не занимаетесь его продвижением и адаптацией, работой. Что в этом сложного, сами возьмите и почитайте книги с помощью своего приложения и поймёте, что здесь не так. Или вы только переодически свой счёт на пополнение платных подписок проверяете, чтобы заплатите себе за обед?

Response from developer
Hi! We have been doing server maintenance and there was some problems with the renewal of subscription. Everything is fine now and it will work once you login again :)
useless instructions
don't bother with this, great tech used for greedy purposes. no you can't have my email ! be great if you could open items on your device
Love the app but no annotation function
I love this app, it is a must for university. If only it’s possible to 1) be easier to annotate/take notes within app, 2) better management system (i.e. have options to create multiple bookshelves/tags), it’d be perfect!
