### 5/5 — A useful tool

*2026-03-27*

I like how I can put in links from the web and read at a faster speed. As I am getting tools to help me read faster, this seems like a good one.

**Developer response:** Thanks for checking Redd out, appreciate the kind words!

### 4/5 — Close, nearly perfect.

*2026-03-05*

This app is great but misses RSVP a bit by not ensuring the red letter remains in the same exact location regardless of the length of the word. Please fix and you get 5 stars, otherwise amazing app! Thanks for this, and thanks for keeping it free!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - we have now implemented this change in the latest version. Appreciate the kind words!

### 5/5 — Works.

*2026-02-17*

Personally keep the app free as a place where you can tip or leave a donation where you can keep it updated. Subscription apps suck. This does not.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - we can assure you Redd will always remain free. However, we have now added a tip jar in the latest version.

### 3/5 — Great app with some bugs

*2026-02-07*

I loved this app when I first used it but the second time I opened it, it forgot my progress, and the scrubber bar is very sensitive for longer books so it’s hard to get back to where I was the day before.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - we have now fixed this in the latest update.
