| 2024-07-23 |  | | en | This is a fantastic tool. I have tried similar tools in the past, but unfortunately, they became closed-source and restricted some features to subscription-only access. I hope the developer keeps this project open-source and sustains it through donations. |
| 2024-05-30 |  | | en | I love this, its so simple yet I have seen my ability to process text without straining my eyes or getting headaches. |
| 2024-04-23 |  | | en | This tool is perfect, is what I was looking for, awesome work. |
| 2023-12-19 |  | | en | Great app. I just wish it had more customization options. I want to be able to see groups of more than one word (maybe up to 4). I also want the option of having 3 words on screen but it's scrolling through, so the 3rd word becomes the focus word (2nd word) and so on, scrolling through in chunks of 3 words instead of just one. I also want it to tell me how long it will take to read the pasted words (if I don't pause). I also want a key combination for "Start Reading" so I can copy the text, click on the reader box, then from there I don't have to use the mouse, just Ctrl+V, "Start Reading" key, and so on. |
| 2023-10-05 |  | | en | It's a great expansion without a doubt. Two suggestions: 1. Now the window with text opens on the left border of the screen, which is not very convenient, I would like it to open in the centre of the screen, or on the full screen (now it opens on the full screen in height, but not in width). 2. Add the "text continuation" option to the settings to show not only one word, but also the subsequent text. |
| 2023-09-23 |  | | Wow, this is super. I don't write reviews frequently, but it is amazing extension. I guess that it is the one of the best free of charge extensions so far. It is very helpful for studying also. Thank you! | |

| 2022-12-28 |  | | Without a doubt the best rsvp app on the internet. Works perfectly and looks clean. It would be better if you could add multiple words each time it flashes. | |

| 2022-09-22 |  | | Wow. I've tried a few apps and extensions that try to do this. But this extension does it beautifully. One question - "Smart Speed" is an option. It includes a question mark icon "?" that a user would assume provides more explanation on that feature. However, it doesn't do anything. And I tried to find what the difference is between having just this one option on or off, but couldn't. I realize it is still in beta, so tiny bugs are to be expected and I'm overall impressed with it! But could you provide a little insight into this option? |
