CUSTOMIZABLE EVERYTHING (EVEN THAT) From designer color schemes to fonts; margins to interface, the app bends to your will with every preference, making this the perfect “skin” for you to read all of your books on, no matter how fast or slow. TOUCH FREE AUTO PILOT (AKA FLASH LIGHTNING MODE) With Guided Reading Technology, you set the speed and the pages turn for you. And the best part?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Celer at Free against QuickReader's $4.99. Celer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). QuickReader's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
