    It should have highlighting, underlining and saving quotes feature like other simple reader apps. I would be great being able to highlight and save quotes and paragraphs or to add comments.

    The ability to combine the speed reading word flashing with Open Dyslexia Font is life changing. At 50 years old I am reading, retaining and recalling. Praise the Lord! Worth every penny!

    Whole heartedly recommend, especially if you consider yourself to have ADD. I generally don’t go in for the whole speed reading thing. I think it’s a flashy, cool thing to market to people who are wrapped up in the hustle culture we find ourselves in. Reading faster is not necessarily productive. I do love that I can pace my reading though, because I often get distracted. I enjoy being able to see how much time I’ve spent *actually reading*, not just counting the amount of time I’ve sat down with the intention of reading. Both the pacing and the time tracking have done wonders for me. I’ve spent 30 mins a day for a week reading at 200wpm (which is not very fast) and I’ve noticed considerable improvement in my ability to read text I encounter in my day to day. This app has already paid for itself in my opinion. This is a comfortable reading speed for me and I’m able to retain full comprehension. It’s the pacing that’s the magic ingredient. The app acts as a finger guiding your eye across the text and it gets you in the zone quickly. I didn’t think this was possible for me and I’m delighted. In its most basic form, it’s simply a tool to help you practice reading, and you get better at what you practice. Developers: When I’m browsing for a book to read, I would love to see the estimated time to complete the book. This could reference the users current wpm setting, or provide a generic range of speeds and times required for completion. A truly worthwhile app. Thank you.

    It’s a great app, I love it compared to others. Especially, for the import of PDFs and long articles on web pages. I agree with previous review an Apple Vision Pro version or at least Apple Vision Pro compatible to allow for a more isolated environment allowing for a larger screen size and less distractions would be ideal and allow more focus.

  • Outstanding App

    I originally used this app to help increase my reading speed for my MCAT a couple of months ago, which at the time was great but was missing some a modern revamp to really make it pop. Well, I don’t know if the staff reads minds because 3 months later, the amount of new features is truly incredible. Keep up the great work, and thank you for making such an amazing product.
