Features & Capabilities

Outread: Speed Reading is a powerful reading tool that helps you absorb text faster by showing small chunks at a time. Choose between Guide Mode (highlighter) and Flash Mode (centered text), run exercises to boost peripheral vision and memory, and customize fonts, speed, and chunk length. Save quotes with bookmarks and notes, view images in text, and monitor your reading stats — all offline and on the go.

Outread+ expands with a built-in catalog of classic novels, Instapaper sync, and support for DRM-free ebooks, PDFs, Word, RTF, and TXT. Enjoy faster speeds (up to 1,500 wpm) and unlimited bookmarks, plus reader themes and multi-device sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Note: DRM-protected ebooks like Kindle and most iBooks are not supported.

User Reviews

User reviews consistently reward Outread for its daily training that boosts reading speed and comprehension, plus strong PDF/long-form content support, focus/pacing tools, and accessibility options. Recurrent drawbacks include a costly, purchase-driven model, difficulty importing external books, and missing annotation features (highlighting, bookmarks, quotes) with requests for export capabilities. Ongoing updates are valued, but pricing and importability remain the main sticking points.

Pros

Daily guided training and daily exercises drive measurable speed and comprehension gains.
Excellent support for PDFs, long articles, and various content types (e.g., PDFs, GPT chats, Bible).
Pacing and time-tracking features help focus, stay engaged, and quantify reading effort.
Accessibility options such as Open Dyslexia Font improve readability and retention.
Active updates and improvements with positive user reception (including lifetime license options for some users).

Cons

Difficulties importing external books and content; importing from Apple Books or Amazon is often unsupported or fails.
Pricing model perceived as expensive; in-app purchases are required and some users view it as a money grab.
Lack of highlighting/annotation features (highlighting, underlining, saving quotes) and bookmarking; users request export capabilities.
Reliability issues with imports (e.g., PDFs freezing or loading problems) and inconsistencies in external content support.

Recent reviews

This app is great and I figured out that I can actually read at a pace of 416 words per minute however there are a few things I would like you to fix about it. First, please add more interesting books I can almost never find anything interesting and second, please make it so that the non-pros don’t only get one book at least add a few more. If these get fixed I would rate it a 5 star however for now I will rate it a 3 star for these reasons

the app is a useful tool, the range of speed and opportunities to incorporate increased reading speeds can be improved- the current greatest words per minute is roughly 1,500 words per minute the Outread speed reading training app could easily increase this to 15,000 words per minute or greater
