User reviews

My new favorite app!

For years I thought I had trouble reading because my eyes would jump around the page. This app is nothing short of genius! With this app I’ve found that my ideal pace is 250 words per minute. Cannot wait to share this with my friends and family who have also previously struggled to read in a focused manner! Get this app while it’s still free!!

Simply the best!

I’ve tried multiple apps and this one is the cleanest and easiest.
