ReadMe! has helped readers find their pace and place since 2014. v2 is the biggest ReadMe! update yet: a rebuilt reader, a calmer library, and four focused ways to move through a book. FOUR WAYS TO READ • Spritz presents one word at a time around a fixed red focal letter, with precise speed control. • BeeLine guides your eyes through each rendered line with continuous color gradients. • Focus builds a readable trail of recent words so attention can settle without losing context. • Read Along carries the text through a smooth, centered ticker. A FULLY UNLOCKED SAMPLE Open the built-in sample and try every reading mode, control, and setting for as long as you like. No account or subscription is required. YOUR BOOKS STAY READABLE Import supported books and documents, keep them in your local library, and read them normally for free. Each imported book includes 3 active minutes to try ReadMe!'s focused reading modes. The timer runs only while a Premium mode is actively playing. When the preview ends, your book stays open at the same place and remains readable normally. PREMIUM, WITHOUT LOCKING YOUR LIBRARY Premium unlocks unlimited Spritz, BeeLine, Focus, and Read Along use with your imported books. It does not take away normal reading, imports, bookmarks, or your local library. LIFETIME STILL MEANS LIFETIME Existing Lifetime Premium buyers retain full access to all current and future Premium features. Restore through Settings or the Preview complete screen. If automatic restoration cannot find your purchase, ReadMe! support will help. SYNC WHEN YOU CHOOSE An account is optional. Sign in with Apple, Facebook, or email when you want cloud library sync. On-device v1 books migrate locally with bookmarks and reading position, and the new sync system stores exact reading anchors instead of an approximate percentage alone. Subscriptions are available monthly and yearly. ReadMe! shows the exact localized price and duration before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Privacy Policy: https://v2.readmei.com/privacy.php Terms of Use: https://v2.readmei.com/terms.php Support: https://v2.readmei.com/support.php
