Double your reading speed in just a few days. Trial users have used this software to increase their reading speed by an average of 143% in 10 days.

Combining the iPhone with this entirely new app provides the ideal platform to achieve measurable results with a minimum of effort. But that’s not all: You will have fun mastering the skills you need to attain effective reading techniques and significantly increase your reading speed; this means: - Rapid recognition of numbers, letters and words - Flexible eye movements - Improved ability to concentrate - Increased vision span The app guides you through the individual training steps. The software immediately recognizes your strengths and weaknesses. The statistics function lets you see and track your progress. The results of each training exercise are charted for your review. More stars mean that you are getting closer to your objective: more effective reading skills and with it extremely high reading speeds. You can check your reading speed at any time using different reading tests from a variety of topics. Questions about the text are used as a secondary test to assess your retention ability. This is the ideal combination for mastering effective reading skills and high retention rates. But beware: you might get hooked since early progress will motivate you to work on your skills regularly. It is fun and you are doing something to stay mentally fit at the same time.
