User Reviews

Speed Reading UpRead shows strong potential: it can dramatically boost reading speed, offers deep customization, and supports easy sharing with a sleek interface. However, recurring issues dampen the experience: a subscription-first model; import/content limitations; stability problems; missing core features and integrations; and inconsistent pacing estimates. Overall, users praise the concept and design but want better accessibility, reliability, and feature parity before broad adoption.

Pros

Significantly increases reading speed (reported 4–5x faster) and saves time on articles.
Highly customizable reading experience (words per minute, font, color, and text size).
Easy sharing and syncing of reading materials; content loads smoothly.
Sleek, intuitive design and useful features like hold-to-read.
Effective for reading articles and boosting engagement with text.

Cons

Requires an ongoing subscription to use; testing and entry often gated by purchase.
Content and import limitations: PDFs may not parse, articles with images fail, large files fail, and there’s little built‑in content.
Stability issues: app can freeze on startup or be unusable before subscribing.
Missing core features and integrations: word grouping (multi‑word chunks), landscape mode, Kindle/cloud sync, and other requested improvements.
Inaccurate pacing estimates and a low speed ceiling (max around 1000 wpm), which feels slow for advanced users.

Didn’t work, froze on the intro page, tried to import a pdf and it didn’t display any text, pretty much useless to me

I used speed reading when I was getting my Bachelor's degree. Now that I'm getting my Master's degree, I've rediscovered just how much time speed reading can save me. This app does an excellent job of providing the tools for turning long boring articles into something that can be read in a matter of just a few minutes while also making it easy to manage your subscription and other settings. I purchased the lifetime because I know a really well-developed app when I see it. Thank you!
