Read faster without turning reading into a game. Speed Reader is a speed reading app that shows text one word at a time using RSVP and Spritz-style speed reading. Your eyes stay still. You start around 300 words per minute and can work up to 750 WPM or more when the pace feels right. How it works: Paste text, share an article from another app, grab what’s on your clipboard, or paste a website link and the app will try to extract the article for you. Hit play. Words appear in a fixed spot so you spend less time scanning a page and more time actually reading. Use it for: • Articles and news you would otherwise skim on your phone • Study texts and long assignments • Emails, notes, and anything you can share or paste • Full web pages, when you only have the link • Your own writing, when you want to hear the rhythm at speed Special words: Speed reading should match how you read, not the other way around. Add any word or character as a special word — a period, a name, a heading — and decide what happens when it appears: • Extra delay, so the end of a sentence actually lands • Split the text there • Stop the reading Add as many special words as you want and tune each one. That is how you keep 750 WPM from turning into a blur. Features: • Adjustable words per minute • Spritz speed reading with an optional focus point • Speed reading lines for visual support • 1 to 10 words on screen at once • Pause whenever you need to stop • Write or paste your own text • Share text from other apps and start reading immediately • Read from the clipboard • Paste a link and extract the page to speed read • Special words with delay, split, or stop • Light and dark themes This is not a course and not a book library. It is a fast reader for text you already have — in the app, from share, from the clipboard, or from a URL. The more you use Speed Reader, the easier higher WPM feels. Try it when you want a speed reading app that reads your pages, not just a demo paragraph. https://vanniktech.de/SpeedReading/privacy_policy.html https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Every other shopping list app is built for families, teams, or roommates. JibJib is built for two people who share a home and a fridge. Pair with your partner once. From then on you both see the same list, and changes show up on the other phone the moment they happen. No screenshots, no forwarding a list over text, no "did you already grab bread?" TYPE IT, AND IT FILES ITSELF Add "tomatoes" and it lands under Produce on its own. The list stays sorted by aisle without either of you maintaining it. SHOP TOGETHER FROM TWO PLACES When one of you is at the store, start shopping. The other watches things get ticked off in real time — and can add one last item before you reach the checkout. SETTLE IT ON THE ITEM Not sure which brand? Put a photo or a note directly on the item. The question and the answer stay attached to the thing they're about. A RECAP WHEN YOU'RE DONE What you bought, what you skipped, and what carries over to next time. NO SIGNAL, NO PROBLEM Keep adding and ticking off in the shop. Everything syncs when you're back online. PRIVATE ON PURPOSE No email, no password — just a first name. We don't track your location, we don't run ads, and we never sell your data. Delete your account and everything goes with it. Made for two. Get on the same page, literally.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JibJib at none against Speed Reader's 7. JibJib also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
