Новая версия

Платный аккаунт. Косяков просто тьма, иногда кажется, что тестирования в принципе не предусмотрено в разработке. Синхронизация не работает (смысл ее в чем?), расположение текста в режиме обычного чтения абсолютно не юзабельно. Не хватает возможности ведения заметок (видимо, цель приложения просто проглотить текст и забыть)). Не в восторге, если честно. Была бы возможность отмены покупки, скорее всего, воспользовался бы.

SERGEJ64, спасибо за отзыв о входе в аккаунт. ReadMe! v2 уже вышла и полностью переработана. Будем рады вашему мнению.

read all those classics you’ve always meant to read

This app is fantastic. I was already a very fast/avid reader, but still, there were classics I’d put off. This app has made it possible for me to increase my reading speed as well as finish off a few of those books on my list. I find my comprehension is higher at this pace with this app than when I “skitter” or photoread. My nine-year-old goddaughter loves the app, too, and always asks to play with it on my phone. We read quite a bit of Little Women together that way. It would be amazing if this were integrated with more formats, but it’s not that hard to find books. It’s also extremely good for the purposes of writing: I load my rough drafts up as PDFs and read them, which keeps me from editing while reading, and allows me to quickly get the sense of a whole.

Thanks for sharing what ReadMe! brings to your learning, gimmeanynickname. ReadMe! v2 is available today; we hope you’ll let us know what you think.

Getting the app

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

Response from developer

ReadMe! v2 is available now on the App Store. If you need help finding it, visit https://v2.readmei.com.

It’s back and it’s brilliant!

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.

Thanks weemuk!

Doesn’t work at all. Needs account to do anything

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 .

Response from developer

Thanks for writing about Spritz, Nico nice 95. It has returned in ReadMe! v2—tell us what you think.

Pure garbage.

Doesn't work.

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.

Pompinette2, merci pour votre retour sur votre compte. ReadMe! v2 vient de sortir après une refonte complète. Votre avis nous intéresse.

Отзыв.

-
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 .

lady.slonik, спасибо за отзыв об интерфейсе. ReadMe! v2 уже вышла и полностью переработана. Будем рады вашему мнению.

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.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on Spritz, Big Jarvo. ReadMe! v2 is here, and we’d love a fresh look from you.

Buggy, unable to access feature

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

Большие книги не открывает

Не открывает книгу в формате epub размером 6,5 мегабайт (книга без картинок).

Response from developer

GUZMANIO, спасибо за отзыв об импорте и библиотеке. Полностью обновлённая ReadMe! v2 уже вышла. Будем рады вашему отзыву.

Impossible d’ajouter un epub

L ajout d’epub ne fonctionne pas.:(

Response from developer

klinnex, merci pour votre retour sur l’importation et la bibliothèque. ReadMe! v2 est désormais disponible. Nous aimerions beaucoup connaître vos impressions.

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.
