### 4/5 — Баги, хз пока быстро не читаю

*2025-08-10, version 1.7.1*

Почините бесконечный таймер в парах и числах четных

### 2/5 — Ads, Always ads

*2024-11-13, version 1.7.1*

I would actually like this app but
No matter what there are
Always ads. Even while paying. Emailed twice
And no reply.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2024-09-26, version 1.7.1*

The idea is nice and it actually works but after first day of downloading it started to malfunction.. you can’t increase the speed if you don’t pay the subscription it stays on one speed on all exercises…

### 1/5 — Subscription problems

*2024-06-20, version 1.7.1*

This is a good app but the app keeps ignoring my subscription so I have to delete and reinstall almost weekly to avoid the massive number of adds.

### 1/5 — Problem with subscription

*2024-05-31, version 1.7.1*

Every now and then I have to uninstall and reinstall the app, because at some it starts running ads ignoring my subscription. Annoying

### 5/5 — love the practices

*2024-05-02*

i have been searching for a schults table to practice expanding my peripheral vision and this app has it!! with free access too! love it. 

I'm just not sure why buying 2 prescription at 6 month is cheaper than buying 1 whole year prescription lol but again... can't blame the english major on math problems

### 3/5 — Премиум не работает

*2024-02-06, version 1.7.1*

Оплатила подписку премиум на месяц, первые три дня пробные. Подписка активна, но приложение так и не дает расширенный доступ к упражнениям и сохранило рекламу

### 5/5 — Always having to see ads even though I paid for ad-free subscription

*2024-01-19*

Always having to see ads even though I paid for ad-free subscription. I paid for the yearly subscription, and I’m always seeing ads and having to uninstall and reinstall the app in order for the subscription “restore” to work (it doesn’t consistently work when I try to restore it every time I open the app). It’s a complete mess.

The exercises are great….. if i ever have time to see them after seeing all the ads that paid good money to NOT see.

I’ve emailed them about this they’ve never responded. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Problem with subscription

*2023-12-12*

The app keep forgetting that I have purchased the annual subscription - so I have to delete and reinstall the app. Doing this looses all your progress and stats and you start over.  I’ve reported this to Apple and the developer -  ever heard back. The app has not been updated in years so the developer is just raking in subscription fees but not supporting the app. Otherwise it’s a great app - but it makes me want to scream having to reinstall every few days

### 1/5 — App riddled with bugs

*2023-11-28*

As mentioned by other users, there are a lot of bugs with this app. It does not seem to be maintained properly.

You will enjoy using the free trial until you purchase the subscription.

Then the speed reading challenge will glitch to not exceed 400 and the ads will continue even after you paid for the subscription.
