Question
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks so much for the review! It’s strange because our database has 110M+ books. Could you send us the name of the book you searched for at hello@slowreadapp.com?
Incredible

Well Thought Out App!
As a human with ADHD who LOVES reading but has had a hard time getting back into it due to life happening, this is already an amazing visual and organized in a way that I’ve always wanted. I’m going to try out the three day free trial and see how it feels after a few days once I’ve gotten used to it.
Yes, you need to pay for it. But, it’s a small developing team on their first app, they need money to get it going, think of when a friend of yours starts a small business selling something, it’s essentially the same thing, just a little less visual. I will come back in a days and update my review.
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to write this — it genuinely made my day. One small correction: there's no team. SlowRead is just me. So having someone describe it as "organized in a way I've always wanted" is exactly why I keep building. Enjoy the three days, and when you come back to update, tell me what felt off as much as what worked. What you notice in your first week of actually living with the app is the most useful feedback I can get. If anything gets in the way of your reading, write to me directly at hello@slowreadapp.com — I read everything. Happy reading.
Saving y’all some time
Can’t do anything
CHARGED TWICE. Use Caution.
When you first open the app it goes through the setup process and makes you pick a plan before actually seeing any part of what you’re getting.
It does give you the option to a 3 day trial but even if you don’t choose any and close the app it will automatically select the trial option and charge the $39.99. I made that mistake. I wanted something to track SE books but being forced to pick a plan right away made me not want to proceed. Three days later I’m charged the full amount. I go back in as I couldn’t remember setting it up. Well it made me go through the setup AGAIN then offered a deal of $29.99. Thinking it was $29.99 for a year I thought whatever I can deal with the loss and I’d figure out how to make it useful.
Looked at my receipt and was charged both amounts on the same day. So this app came out to $70+. Only the $29.99 was eligible for a refund but was denied.
If you’re looking for an app to track SE books. So far ThingsBook seems to be the better option.
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to write this in detail — this is the first report we've received of a double charge, and we want to look into it. Please email us at hello@slowreadapp.com with your receipt so we can investigate what happened on our side. To clarify one point: all payments are processed by Apple, not by us — we never have access to your payment method and cannot charge you directly. A free trial does convert to a paid subscription if it isn't cancelled before it ends, which is standard for App Store subscriptions, but you should never end up with two active plans. That part shouldn't happen and we're checking it now. Refunds are handled by Apple.
Stuck behind a paywall
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words about the app. Just so it's clear: the weekly plan isn't the only option. SlowRead has an annual plan and a lifetime option — a single payment, no subscription at all — both of which work out far cheaper than paying weekly. The weekly is there for people who prefer a low upfront commitment, but nobody has to choose it. Open the app, tap through to the plans and you'll see all three.
Cool, but not doing another subscription. Sorry
Response from developer
Thank you. SlowRead has a lifetime option: one payment, no recurring charge, nothing to manage. It's on the plans screen next to the weekly and annual. If it's subscriptions you'd rather avoid, that's the one.
it’s nice but not free
Sad
Loved the styling
Response from developer
Hi, from the SlowRead team. First of all, we have a feature request section where we’re constantly working on the things our users ask for. This review honestly does us more harm than good. Best regards.
