## What is ReadMe! (Spritz & BeeLine)?

ReadMe! has helped readers find their pace and place since 2014. v2 is the biggest ReadMe! update yet: a rebuilt reader, a calmer library, and four focused ways to move through a book.

FOUR WAYS TO READ

• Spritz presents one word at a time around a fixed red focal letter, with precise speed control.
• BeeLine guides your eyes through each rendered line with continuous color gradients.
• Focus builds a readable trail of recent words so attention can settle without losing context.
• Read Along carries the text through a smooth, centered ticker.

A FULLY UNLOCKED SAMPLE

Open the built-in sample and try every reading mode, control, and setting for as long as you like. No account or subscription is required.

YOUR BOOKS STAY READABLE

Import supported books and documents, keep them in your local library, and read them normally for free. Each imported book includes 3 active minutes to try ReadMe!'s focused reading modes. The timer runs only while a Premium mode is actively playing. When the preview ends, your book stays open at the same place and remains readable normally.

PREMIUM, WITHOUT LOCKING YOUR LIBRARY

Premium unlocks unlimited Spritz, BeeLine, Focus, and Read Along use with your imported books. It does not take away normal reading, imports, bookmarks, or your local library.

LIFETIME STILL MEANS LIFETIME

Existing Lifetime Premium buyers retain full access to all current and future Premium features. Restore through Settings or the Preview complete screen. If automatic restoration cannot find your purchase, ReadMe! support will help.

SYNC WHEN YOU CHOOSE

An account is optional. Sign in with Apple, Facebook, or email when you want cloud library sync. On-device v1 books migrate locally with bookmarks and reading position, and the new sync system stores exact reading anchors instead of an approximate percentage alone.

Subscriptions are available monthly and yearly. ReadMe! shows the exact localized price and duration before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings.

### 1/5 — Getting the app

*2026-08-20*

I wish I could figure out a way to get it.

**Developer response:** You download it on the AppStore. Please see our support channels if you have any questions https://v2.readmei.com

### 5/5 — It’s back and it’s brilliant!

*2026-08-16*

I’d stopped using this a while back because Spritz was no longer available. I’ve never found a decent replacement since. Now Spritz is back, this is a superb reading tool again.

**Developer response:** Thank you for coming back after Spritz disappeared—and for calling ReadMe! a superb reading tool again now that it has returned. ReadMe! v2 is the complete rebuild those 12 years led to. Once you have spent more time with the new reader, we would genuinely love to hear which part feels most improved: https://v2.readmei.com

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all. Needs account to do anything

*2026-05-26, version 3.0*

Don’t bother

### 1/5 — They ruined this app

*2025-11-06, version 3.0*

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

### 1/5 — Removed the feature I bought it for (Spritz)

*2025-03-28, version 3.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Why did you remove Spritz ?

*2024-08-08*

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 .

**Developer response:** You bought ReadMe! for Spritz, then saw that defining feature removed and your Lifetime purchase followed by another upgrade request. Asking “what’s the point?” was entirely fair. Spritz is back in ReadMe! v2, rebuilt from the ground up after 12 years, and Lifetime access is recognised through the correct ReadMe! account. We’d value your return: https://v2.readmei.com

### 3/5 — Bon mais…

*2024-05-22*

J’ai changé d’appareil, j’ai un abonnement premium à vie et je n’arrive plus à me connecter à mon compte.

**Developer response:** Changer d’appareil ne devrait jamais vous faire perdre un accès Premium à vie. Le fait de ne plus pouvoir vous connecter transformait un bon produit en véritable frustration. ReadMe! v2 reconstruit la gestion des comptes et des droits après 12 ans d’expérience. Avec le bon compte ReadMe!, votre accès à vie doit vous suivre ; notre équipe peut vous aider : https://v2.readmei.com

### 1/5 — Отзыв.

*2023-11-08*

-
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 .

**Developer response:** Вы отметили хорошую идею и честную пробную подписку, но интерфейс из 2010 года и частичный перевод сделали приложение непонятным ещё до знакомства с чтением. Это очень конкретная критика. ReadMe! v2 полностью перестроен за 12 лет — от дизайна до локализации. Будем рады вашей оценке того, насколько естественно он выглядит теперь: https://v2.readmei.com

### 4/5 — Would’ve subscribed

*2023-06-14, version 2.93*

If only if it displayed spritz reader in chunks of words, single words are too fast rather use my peripheral vision.

### 2/5 — Never been able to figure it out

*2022-12-14, version 2.93*

Had this app forever, can’t figure out how to load books. Tried several ways. Time to look for other similar apps. Bummer
