Didn’t work

Didn’t work, froze on the intro page, tried to import a pdf and it didn’t display any text, pretty much useless to me

Easy UI and Useful Tool

I used speed reading when I was getting my Bachelor's degree. Now that I'm getting my Master's degree, I've rediscovered just how much time speed reading can save me. This app does an excellent job of providing the tools for turning long boring articles into something that can be read in a matter of just a few minutes while also making it easy to manage your subscription and other settings. I purchased the lifetime because I know a really well-developed app when I see it. Thank you!

Falta de contenido

Me parece muy bien practicar la lectura a través de una app de este tipo, lo que no me gusta es que no tiene contenido, si yo mismo debo buscar textos, cargarlos y aparte debo pagar para poder utilizarlo, no me parece lógico, esperaba encontrar contenido dispuesto o acorde a niveles, temas de interés o textos por tiempo y programas pedagógicos.

La idea y principio de funcionamiento de la app es bueno.

Unable to operate it

Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to use this, Had hoped to read kindle books on my iPad on the way into work, very very very disappointing,

#1 app of mine.

I currently have hundreds of apps on my phone and this is the best app I have ever used. I read four to five times faster then when I started.

Lack of subscription options

No weekly or monthly options as advertised. They’re straightaway asking for lifetime. I even downloaded it for a second time using the weekly option. But still it took me back to lifetime. Pity you can’t even try it. And then they say “Are you serious?”. Well how serious are the people behind this app when they’re narrowing down options?

Great app for people who are lazy

I always put off reading articles and papers, but this app changed all of that, literally. It’s easy to sync what you wanna read with the app, and I’ve increased my daily reading by 300000% it’s insane what a simple change can do! I recommend it.

Why offer Lifetime if it isn’t available?

Your lifetime subscription does not exist in the app.

Best speed reading app out there -

I've search high and low for a simple that will help me improve my speed reading. I would install one and become disappointed because it was lacking one aspect of another. This app is well with the price and not only that- after reaching out to Alain with a request, he not only quickly responded, but created the exact update! Take a chance on this one- you won't regret it!

Wow, thank you a lot for the review!

Please add...

I'm liking the app so far. I like that it's linked to the share button and I can just send the reading material directly to the app.

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!

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

I honestly feel like if you had the right person run this by Kindle or iBooks or others they would gladly jump on it, it increases reading time by so much that honestly they would make so much more money just simply because people would buy more books. It’s seriously some of the best technology of our day! So disappointing that I can’t read through the books in my library of ebooks. Keep up the good work though, maybe in a few years this will be more available, as of right now it’s great for reading articles online!

Hey, thanks a lot for your support! We’ll do our best :)

Nonfunctional without a subscription

The app is free, but it’s absolutely nonfunctional without a subscription or trial, and nothing to indicate this until you open the app or check the very end of the many-paragraphs-long description.

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...

By the time I save an article to the app, open the app then load the articles... I could’ve just read it at the source. Too many steps. Also I don’t want to download the whole internet to the app and keep it all.
Plus find a way to skip over the in-article ad blocks of text.

Slow features Missing words Grouping and 1000 words per minute is to slow

I like the app it’s very confortable. If only you can add some features that a will tell you I will buy lifetime membership and recommend to my 170k followers of my speed reading community.

. 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

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
