## Review summary

The app excels at speed-reading training with a vast, free book catalog and features that aid eye movement and pace, often delivering noticeable speed gains. However, reliability issues, poor compatibility with external formats (PDF/ePub/Kindle/iBooks), and limited library management undermine its utility. Users frequently cite crashes, an apparent lack of ongoing support, and a catalog that doesn’t suit everyone. Despite strong training value and a good interface, ecosystem limitations and stability concerns are the major recurring drawbacks.

### Pros

- Huge catalog of free classics and ebooks with easy access for reading practice.
- Guided reading, eye-tracking, and pacing features help train eye movement and improve reading speed.
- Notable speed improvements with consistent use (e.g., reported 250% speed gains).
- Calibre server discovery/sync and automatic recognition of external libraries.
- User-friendly interface and good value for the money.

### Cons

- Stability issues: frequent crashes (especially with themes or certain features) and reports the app seems abandoned.
- Lack of support for PDFs, webpages, and other formats; cannot open ePub/iBooks or upload external books.
- Cannot add new libraries/catalogs or import from Calibre; catalog management feels stuck.
- Limited catalog scope (primarily classics) and incompatibility with Kindle books; not all titles are usable.
- Missing advanced speed-reading feature (no RSVP/rapid-fire text presentation) and some formatting issues in certain books.
