Review summary

ReaderPro is praised for its effective and engaging speed reading exercises that help users improve reading speed and skills. Users appreciate its one-time purchase model over subscriptions, simple interface, and progress tracking. However, common issues include some bugs like erratic language switching and navigation glitches, small font sizes in parts of the app, and awkward English due to translation. Users also note that automatic difficulty adjustments can be imprecise. Overall, it's a motivating and useful tool with minor usability and language polishing needed.
Pros
  • Effective speed reading and reading skill improvement exercises
  • Favorably priced with a lifetime purchase option instead of subscription
  • User-friendly and simple interface that is easy to navigate
  • Fun and engaging exercises that motivate consistent use
  • Tracks progress and helps increase reading speed significantly
Cons
  • Some minor bugs such as exercise interruptions and accidental settings navigation
  • Occasional unexplained changes in language or idiom settings
  • Poor or awkward English language in instructions and descriptions indicating non-native translation issues
  • Font sizes in some exercises are too small to read comfortably
  • Automatic level setting can be inaccurate due to how it handles minor mistakes

This is one of the few speed reading / executive function training apps that I find worthy of purchasing. I dislike subscription based software, so I was glad to see the buy once lifetime usage option. I uninstalled my previous favorite speed reading app by the German based Hekuit, after buying MULTIPLE times on different platforms and STILL forcing a subscription on me! If you're sick of getting 'milked' by monthly charges ...take a close look at this one.

I really appreciate that the schlute table has a central dot. I have an S.T. app but it doesn't have an option to add that and, as of right now, I can't focus on the center point without it but that's the whole point of the exercise. The rest of the app is amazing, as well, I've improved a lot with it. It even has memory exercises. I had completely lost my joy for reading because of my lack of efficiency and speed but with all the different live-adaptive exercises I'm enjoying reading again.

Actually a pretty good app, I went for the paid version as it was quite cheap. I do believe this can be very helpful over time, I have experienced progress with the skills that the app helps develop. The problem I think is that the app doesn't recognise minor mistakes compared to bigger (eg mistaking a Q and a O, or misplacing 2 digits in a number, vs giving the wrong digits altogether). Consequently, automatic level setting goes to a fairly easy level to a very difficult one, no in-between

This is day 2. My 30 minute training was interrupted to rate this app I am 78 yrs old. I was intimidated at first. Loving it now. Problems with odd/even. Breezing through some of the exercises. Amazing to see the increased speed at some exercises on my 2nd day Back to the training . Update: I have been using this app every day since Dec 15/23. Still loving it. Now acing odd/even. Problems with reading assessment and reading speed. Amazing app!!

Games are excellent and just what is needed to improve. Instructions are a bit rough and feels like they were from a translator. Dev might want to an iteration of the translation through AI to smooth the English and clarify. Overall great free app and much appreciated!

9-19-23: I love it! I've actually been reading faster. I'll eventually get to the point of simply skimming the words. Right now I still "read" them, and pronounce them to myself. I train daily though. It'll break for me sooner or later. 1-29-23: Pretty good app so far. I'm not at the point of recommending it to anyone yet, but we're heading that way. It's a better start than the other apps that I've used for speed reading.

I love it, it's very entertaining and I started seeing a little results on my reading speed, but the only thing is please you could fix the bug that makes when is counting back to start the exercise it moves to the settings and you have to go back to the beginning, also sometimes the idiom change, for example I choose Spanish and suddenly change to an idiom that I completely don't understand, also it would be a good idea to add more text to practice I have read the same 3 stories all this time.

The app is easy to use, completes its function to the fullest. You can see how fast you read, improve using the exercises + it helps you maximize utility of your peripheral vision while reading. I never planned downloading similar apps, but I realized that this app would be useful for speed reading training I do for SAT reading section. Finding a correct word and part of the text may save you just 4-5 seconds, but it makes a big difference on your ability to focus.

Great exercises, simple, easy to use interface. I was taught how to speed read in grade school, and while I'm still pretty quick, I've missed being able to read a book in 15 minutes. These exercises are what I wish I had back then. Very effective learning tools! I could play these all day. Also, there aren't so many ads that they're distracting.

Great job ReaderPro! I enjoy this app. It works. I have only been using it about 1 week. I need to read faster. 150 words per minute. To read everything I want to read is my goal. Get this app, if you want to improve your reading skills. My friends read trilogies, and more seemingly only days before a new season of the original works air! I see this app as the tool to get me to that goal. NOTE: ReaderPro here is an idea: Show us examples of what speeds look like, but also time lines for books.
