Good start

I love that this app exists! But right now it is too slow..the pages take forever to load. I will keep trying to use it though and hope there are updates that will make the pages load faster. Conceptually it is an awesome app.


Functional - extension needs work
Matt…

The iOS 8 extension is the whole reason I installed this app. It works, but it would be great if it loaded text faster, and also if it allowed you to change the speed right there in the extension itself. It seems you can only change speed in the main app, and that setting doesn't seem to sync to the browser extension. Hoping future updates will help!


Great start!

I use the app to read the news. It works quite well for that. I would suggest the added ability to change the reading speed when you use the speed read button in other apps.

Force closes immediately on launch.

Yep, just like the other reviews say, force closes upon launch. Seems like a really cool app, I'd like to try it, but if I can't use it because it doesn't work, well, it's kind of a waste of space. Too bad, because I was looking forward to using the Spritz speed reading feature on various sites. I would gladly change the one star to higher if it would AT LEAST OPEN!!!!


Crashes all the things!

App is what I want

Please fix it so you don't have to reload the page in Safari because while out of wifi range you're loading the article 2, and three times if you're coming from feedly or flipboard


Works Pretty Well

Not perfect, but probably the simplest and best speed reading app I've tried out there.


Exactly what I wanted

It adds spritz to my iOS share sheet so I don't have to leave the browser. Perfect. Thanks.
