#1 app of mine.
Great app for people who are lazy
Why offer Lifetime if it isn’t available?
Best speed reading app out there -
Response from developer
Wow, thank you a lot for the review!
Please add...
Please add a setting to allow us to read more then one word at a time. And also the option to include articles (i.e. a, an, the) and punctuations as part of the word. Thanks!
Response from developer
Hello! Thanks a lot for the review and the support! I’ll be looking at the “multiple words at once” feature hopefully very soon. Thanks for letting me know you need it. Have a great day!
Wonderful tool, I only wish I could upload books
Response from developer
Hey, thanks a lot for your support! We’ll do our best :)
Nonfunctional without a subscription
Response from developer
I’m sorry you’re disappointed. The app is free to try. Afterwards, if you like it, I ask you to support my work. I prefer to let users know this as soon as possible, so payment options are listed here in the App Store, conditions are written in the description and all the info is shown right on launch. Again, the app is free to try and you can cancel anytime, no questions asked. If you need help managing your subscriptions, please see this link: https://desk.zoho.com/portal/crazyhorseapps/kb/articles/cancel-a-subscription-on-ios. If you need further help, please write me an email at help.chapps@gmail.com, I’ll do my best to help you out!
The reading part of the app works really good but by the time...
Plus find a way to skip over the in-article ad blocks of text.

Hello, thank you a lot for the suggestions. I will definitely make sure to keep them at hand for my next release. I appreciate such a constructive and specific feedback. Have a great day
Good
Slow features Missing words Grouping and 1000 words per minute is to slow
. SHOULD BE AT LEAST 5000 WORDS SPEED. (1000 words per minutes is too slow).
. WORDS GROUPING ( ability to do up to 50 words grouping to train your eye )
. FILE COMPATIBILITY pdf epub and html
I hope you can get this going soon thank you and keep the good work
Response from developer
Hi, Thanks a lot for the feedback and the support! The app already allows you to set a custom reading speed without limits. Just go to “More” and “Settings”. You can set a minimum and maximum speed and fine tune that in the Reader page. Also the app already supports pdf files, txt files, raw text and html webpages. I’m looking to implement also epub support in the future and maybe offer a library of books included in the subscription. About words grouping that’s a great idea. I’ll look into that too. Shall you need any help or if you have more feedback, please send me an email at help.chapps@gmail.com. Thank you again, Alain
Probably not for me
As far as the reading experience is concerned ... it does well on normal text. If you are reading something with a lot of citations, references, or footnotes, the reading experience is interrupted while it sputters out all the details that I would normally skim over when I’m doing a quick read.
The only way around this would be for the app to automatically strip out citations etc., or for the developer to add the ability to edit the text of the article after it has been imported. But, if you are someone who needs to read a lot, this probably defeats the purpose of the app.
Response from developer
Hi, thanks a lot for the suggestions! You are right: I made the app primarily thinking about professionals that need to read a lot. I’m puzzled about the reaction to the pricing: the app costs 4$ a month and can potentially improve a lot your professional life. I wonder if this is not worth the equivalent of a couple cups of coffee a month... there is very often a bias toward considering software as something cheap that should be provided for free, but that simply kills our work. Nonetheless I’ll consider your point, thanks a lot for sharing it. Have a great day, Alain
Like it very much
Response from developer
Love that! Thanks for the support
This is it.
- Would love a search feature to find places in the text easily,
- Would be great, when using the always-on double tap reading stream to be able to pause it by pressing and holding,
- Would be cool if instead of plaintext displayed below the reading box (which is a perfect arrangement) you could see pictures and diagrams,
- Would be super useful to have a voice feature. Then could be huge for use in schools for kids with reading disabilities.
- Would love the option for a red focus character and a frame around the reading box to improve focus.
Best one so far. I hate the subscription model, but the price is fair.
Response from developer
Hey, thanks a lot for the review, I appreciate it! I love the list of features you provided, I’ll do my best to include some of those features soon. By the way, I’m about to release a big update later in November, which will include the focus character and a lot more (dark mode, new icon style, new name, more settings…). I hope you’ll enjoy that! Thanks again, also for supporting my work. Have a great day, Alain
Absolutely Remarkable
