Any Text

Any Text is a reading app that helps you learn a language with things actually worth reading β not made-up textbook dialogues. Every day brings six new, real pieces of content, each rewritten at six CEFR levels β from complete beginner (A1) to fluent (C2) β so the exact same material grows with you: β’ A real news story β’ A painting, with the story behind it β’ A film worth knowing β’ A book worth knowing β’ A quote from history β’ A moment from history, "on this day" Tap any word, in any text, to see what it means in your own language β no dictionary app, no switching screens. READ WHOLE BOOKS Beyond the daily pages, the Library holds full classic novels β Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, Notes from Underground, The Call of the Wild and more β each rewritten at every CEFR level, with the original illustrations. WATCH AND LISTEN A feed of short videos with synced, tappable subtitles, so you can follow along word by word. And whenever you'd rather listen, any page can be read aloud, with each word highlighted as it's spoken. REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN Save any word you look up, then review it later with spaced repetition β reviews are scheduled automatically so words actually stick. YOUR LEVEL, YOUR PACE Slide between six CEFR levels (A1βC2) any time, on any page. Start wherever you are; move up whenever you're ready. Available in Turkish, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch β pick any language to read in, and any language to translate into. Any Text includes a 14-day free trial, then continues with a subscription (monthly, 6-month or annual). Cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Built by a single independent developer who reads too much, and wanted an app that treats language learners like adults.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: The Eye at 3 against Any Text's 1. The Eye also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
