## What is Web Reader?

Web Reader is your virtual productivity partner that was created to fill the need to have material on the internet read out to you, so that you can do more with your time. If you prefer reading it yourself, you have the choice between multiple speed reading tools to increase your reading speed.

Here are some of the features of the app

Offline Playlist
+ Add items to a playlist for continuous playback or read them instantly from an in-built web browser
+ Once downloaded to the playlist, items are available for offline playback without an internet connection
+ Go back to items that completed playing or save them for later

RSS Playlist
+ Have reading material pushed to your device with RSS feeds
+ Play items in a RSS playlist sequentially like listening to a radio channel
+ Use RSS Playlist functionality as a free RSS Reader

Common playlist functionalities
+ Play, pause, fast-forward, rewind or skip items with a beautiful playback control or from a locked screen or an Apple Watch
+ Adjust playback to a particular position in the timeline
+ View text being read real-time

Read from clipboard
+ Copy emails and documents to clipboard and have them read out loud (New feature)

Speed Reading
+ Practice Speed Reading with your content with multiple speed reading tools - Highlight Reader, Column Reader and Focused Reader

Supporting functionalities
+ Automatic backup and sync of saved items and favorites across installs and iCloud enabled devices for same user
+ Play audio with device screen off to save battery (RSS Playlist requires screen to be ON)
+ Choose amongst a plethora of voices provided by Apple or change the playback speed

NOTE:

### 1/5 — In app purchases broken

*2022-04-23, version 3.12*

Cannot turn on features because the in app purchases are broken in this app.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2021-12-31, version 3.12*

Just tried and happy it is very easy to use and inexpensive compared to others.

### 5/5 — Great web reader!

*2020-12-30*

The web reader does a great job for the price. It’s easy to use, is stable, and you can use any of Apple’s voices (some of which are actually very good!). With this you don’t have to pay grossly overpriced monthly subscriptions to have a decent web reader that some of us may only use a handful of times in a year. It also plays in the background. There is a one time purchase of a $1.39 to enable the speech function and it is well worth it.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback. Contrary to popular belief, making money with apps is not that easy (unless you are a corporation with hundreds of developers), hence the subscription business model on several apps. For me however, the biggest joy and satisfaction comes from knowing that my work is changing someone’s life for the better. It’s more precious then the payback. Thanks a lot for taking the time 🙂

### 1/5 — Mine not working

*2020-05-24*

I could never get a web page to load.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-06-07, version 3.04*

You have to pay to use nearly all of the features

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time

*2019-03-20*

Completely broken app. “Unable to retrieve readable content” error comes up 50-70% of the time i try to use it. This happens about half the time across many different sites

### 5/5 — Customized Ad-free Radio Channel!!

*2019-01-28*

I use this app, specifically the RSS Feed feature, to listen to news while I am driving. It auto updates so I don’t have to go find material to read. Also it plays items sequentially which allows me to drive without distractions!

When I have time, I add items to my Offline playlist and listen to them when getting ready for work in the morning.

Love this app! 😍

### 5/5 — Great productivity booster

*2018-08-22*

I use it in flights regularly!

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2018-08-11*

Now we don’t need to read news from screen.This app do it for you 🤩🤩

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2018-08-10*

This app is very useful to listen to web contents. You can download the web content and save it in playlist before you go out. Then you can listen to your playlist anywhere with out internet. I often listen to my playlist while I drive.
