### 5/5 — Awesomeness

*2025-01-10*

This works as advertised. There are great places to get free ebooks. I suggest looking for that rather than articles. You can also buy stuff too, just not from amazon which I recommend you don’t do any way.

### 1/5 — Can’t you at least give me a little demo?

*2024-08-29*

How am I supposed to know that I want to pay you 6 bucks if don’t even get a taste of what’s your app really does?
No thanks

### 3/5 — Wish it was faster

*2024-06-07*

I like the general concept, but it is a bit frustrating that the app maxes out at 1000 WPM. Would like it much more if it went up to 2.5-5k

### 1/5 — Requires registration

*2023-07-27*

I don't appreciate developers not being open about the fact that their app requires registration from the very beginning.
Very dishonest and not trustworthy at all.

### 3/5 — Time recorded

*2023-03-13*

The time recorder for how much time you spend reading is off. 
Also I wish that you could highlight text and have a more specific book mark of where you leave off reading.

### 2/5 — Terrible interface and trouble importing

*2023-02-26*

Before you buy, give it a good try. For there seem to be many deficiencies in the user interface - I’ve been unable to import a book and since it’s the free version I’m out of attempts to import. Secondly, the free book that does read opens up fullscreen and getting the reading menu to open over this book is a matter of chance.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2022-08-24*

Way too expensive

### 1/5 — Good luck reading anything interesting

*2022-08-13*

Unless all you want to read is the crap on your desktop, good luck to you. UI is really amateur hour as well. It’s shocking how poor this is for $6.99/month.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. What other items would you want to be able to read with Spry?

### 5/5 — Love the concept!

*2022-05-24*

Love the concept but I had trouble importing. The developer was very helpful and even created a video for me so I’m now able to use it. The max speed on the free version is 250 wpm so you may have to go with the paid version to get the most out of the program.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble importing. I see that you've tried to contact us but we haven't received anything in our e-mail. Could you please try again at people@digitalcaravanfactory.com?  If you already used that e-mail please try the contact form at the bottom of our web site: https://spryreader.app/
