Someone doing the world good with not only a free RSVP but the highest quality one out there! Thank you so much!

P.S.: Please bring it to the Google Play Store

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the review! It’s incredibly motivating to hear you're enjoying the app. :) Just a heads-up: there is a "Ghost words" feature coming soon in landscape mode. You should definitely give it a try! Not for everyone, but for me personally it was game changer. Boosted speed and comprehension significantly.

Phenomenal

Doubles the speed of reading instantly without any retention problems.

Response from developer

Sweet, happy it works for you! Thanks for the review!

phenomenal functionality and free of charge

I have trouble reading text in the usual way, RSVP makes reading effortless and fun. This app is a gem. The developer is a saint. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the review! Enjoy :)

Why is the iOS 17 version crippled?

I downloaded the app in iOS 17.11.7 as the is the max version that my iPad support.
The app show the introductory text but it is FRUSTRATINGLY impossible to select any other reading material. The icon for selecting text is not there. I also have downloaded in my recent iPhone and it runs beautifully. Please make the text selection icon or an alternative menu available in a more full screen gui.
I wonder if these are apple tactics to silently obsolete old hardware.

Thanks for the review! Enjoy!

Amazing

Love the app. The UX is almost perfect. First app like this that is doable for ebooks. Just have a few small issues that I think would make a little more usable. It would be great if long words showed on the screen a little longer. Especially in fantasy novels a new name just flashes across and you don’t have time to absorb it. Second, it seems like it doesn’t detect chapter breaks but it could be the book I’m reading. But there should be some sort of pause or something so you know it’s a new scene. Also long dashes cause multiple words on the screen at the same time and “…” after a word shows each dot as a separate word.

Thanks a lot for the review! Such feedback is especially valuable! Regarding the pause on chapters, plz double-check that you have this “Chapter announcement” ON in settings(it should be by default), it would pause on every chapter present in Table of contents. If it is already ON, then it must be an issue with how we parse it. We improve it continuously but it is a painstaking process, considering the amount of different corner cases. Especially for PDFs. And that is why your feedback is especially helpful, thx again!

exactly what im looking for

lots of other apps doing similar things but blocked behind paywalls. this app has everything i could ever want, color customization, intuitive UI, and so much more while also being free ! 10/10 would recommend

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, and happy you are enjoying it! :) More features to come!

Nice clean app

No ads and the rate of text is very pleasant for longer words and quotations etc

Needs one thing

I love this app, it’s so well thought out. All I need is a gesture that can rewind. Thank you so much for sharing this app

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! And thanks for the feature idea. Have a feeling you’ll see it soon :)

Love it- Could be better!

Today is the first day of me using the app. I like it quite a bit so far- but as someone who’s read ebooks before, it’s quite time consuming to find my way to where I was. If there was some feature like a word search or a novel page browser so I could find where I left off, it would get 5 stars from me. Please, don’t ever include some stupid micro transactions. I would pay a couple bucks for the app but no micro transactions.

Thanks for the feedback! Actually, the Search feature just arrived in the latest version! You can find it right behind the Table of Contents icon on the reader screen. If that is what you were looking for, please consider that 5th ⭐!

Thank you

Thank you form the bottom of my heart for making this app, and for making it free. Words can never truly express how grateful I am. I can’t believe I’m writing this at 4:30am

Exactly what I was looking for

Well done, amazing app! Thank you for giving so much value for free ❤️

Response from developer

Thank you! :) Enjoy!

Great speed reading app with a clean design

Stasis: RSVP Speed Reader does exactly what it promises—and does it really well. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, with a variety of nicely designed themes that make reading comfortable and enjoyable.

The app feels smooth, focused, and actually fun to use, which is not something you can say about every speed reading tool. On top of that, it’s completely free, which makes it an easy recommendation.

If you’re looking to improve your reading speed without dealing with a cluttered or complicated app, this is definitely worth trying

Awesome!

Amazing app, super helpful, fully free and even with a beautiful design. Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you :) for taking your time to write this review. There are more cool features to come!

Very impressive…

…but would be even better if adapted for iPad. That’s where I do all my reading.

Response from developer

[Update] Solipsister, iPad support has arrived! Please check the latest version. Hope you'll enjoy it. [May29, 2026] Thanks for the feedback, Solipsister! iPad optimization is already in our backlog. We’ll be working hard to earn that 5th star! :)

Incredible - a few suggestions

Amazingly designed, what an awesome app. A couple things that could be fixed/added:
- on an epub, some words are mashed together when a new line is made without a space after the previous word
- a table of contents feature for epubs

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the review, itsethanol! I have to admit, text formatting for the RSVP format is challenging - especially for PDFs - and there are a ton of corner cases to address. That makes your feedback even more valuable! We are already investigating the 'mashed words' issue. Regarding the TOC: this feature is available for both EPUB and PDF. If you don't see it (top center), it means either the file doesn’t have one or a bug has slipped through. I'm sorry to take up more of your time, but it would be super helpful if you could share more details (book name/link would be great) so we can pin down the particular book and test it. You can do so here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaZPAvT8sJBYDFVVAUBTcpSOHjPaES5ACBM9tk_mNx7F7B_A/viewform?pli=1 Thanks in advance!

Good but could be better.

I like this a lot but I have a few suggestions: I wish it had a hold to play or hold to pause option instead of tap to pause and play.

It would be cool if you can hold to pause and then scroll up and to go to rewind and then swipe side to side to adjust wpm

I also like the idea of hold to play because it means your thumb is on the word. Because it’s an intentional action that makes it so it requires your attention.

Thanks for the review, Lenle! This is a very interesting idea. We will definitely consider it as a feature; however, it would require careful testing from various UX angles. Implementing this could bring its own challenges, such as thumb fatigue, accidental lifts, or conflicts with existing gestures. That said, it seems like a great fit for short, focused sessions. Thanks again - feedback like this is super valuable!
