User Reviews

Users praise Readable for helping improve English reading and vocabulary through simple English stories and news, with a built-in dictionary and a lightweight app footprint. The content is engaging and supports reading and listening, and many appreciate the multi-language learning potential. Common drawbacks include audio playback and synchronization issues (button glitches, starting from the top, misaligned narration), limited high-level (C1/C2) content, and requests for more languages (Persian, Vietnamese, Italian, Portuguese). Overall, it's a useful tool for learners, but fixing audio bugs and expanding content and language options would help.

Audio playback and synchronization issues, including a button glitch and narration starting from the top
