User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's ability to improve reading speed, focus, and support for PDFs and web pages, along with an affordable no-ads option and minimalistic design.

Cons

Frequent and intrusive ads, including video and banner ads, which diminish user experience.
Lack of smooth navigation features such as going back in text, restarting chapters, or moving easily through content.
Inconvenient workflow requiring copying and pasting text into the app; no quick activation from other apps or websites.
Speed adjustment is cumbersome, requiring repeated ad viewing and guesswork to find the right reading speed.
Unclear or confusing premium options and paywall conditions, resulting in user frustration and feelings of being scammed.

does speed reader, but can't tweak settings or change position without rewatching ad, and only limited tries before required payment. I never even managed to read the first word of the sample text (it kept skipping, and couldn't seek)
