Magnificent, soothing design!!
Yes to no-paywall, no dark patterns, so refreshing. You are the OG! Have a donate button.
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.

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
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
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.

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 ❤️

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!

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

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.

Best App to start into RSVP Reading
I first came across RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) via @johndecebal on Instagram who built a mobile RSVP reader from a waveshare board. I was fascinated by the concept and searched for an app to try this technique without having to built the unit myself. I am totally amazed by the simplicity with which Stasis enables comfortable RSVP reading. I love the UI and that you can customize the colors to your needs. I think importing ePubs without DRM is very easy and I like the integration of the Gutenberg library. It is also very cool to see your reading statistics. It seems that the developer tries to constantly improve the app, which I love to see. The fact that the app is totally free, makes it all the more impressive. I can highly recommend to just try it out.
@Oleksandr Iatsenko I would love to see the ghost word feature that John Decebal introduced on his channel in Stasis as well. I think in combination with a landscape mode it would benefit the reading experience even more. Thank you for creating Stasis!

[Update] Hey ha.jannis! Happy to announce that Ghost words feature in landscape mode has arrived. Give it a try! [May18, 2026] Thanks for the feedback and especially for the useful insights, ha.jannis! Reviews like this are especially touching. I'm happy to share that landscape mode has just arrived in the latest version. Try it out - I hope you enjoy it! Regarding the ghost (or rather 'phantom,' if I'm recalling John’s video correctly) words: I believe this feature will be arriving soon as well. :) Have a great reading experience!
