Reviews
Currently the best iOS Speed Reader
drrjv
Currently the best iOS Speed Reader for eBooks. I’ve tried a bunch and this is the best presently. Lots of options, snappy performance and seems to be bug free. ReadMe! was my favorite but now spoiled by In-App purchases and recent revision is a buggy mess. QuickReader not working with iOS 9 Public Beta and ReadQuick doesn’t import eBooks.
Very disappointed

I thought I would be able to read PDFs with this app. But you can only read contents from a URL (and no, the URL of a PDF doc doesn't work), Classic novels, or text that you type in yourself. What a disappointment!
Amazing!

Meta guiding is hands down the bestie way to increase reading speed because it most accurately simulates the typical reading experience, unlike RSVP skimming techniques and other practices. Outread is easily worth the two dollars because it is so easy to use with a browser, and it seamlessly keeps website and imported book formats. Serious must have for any type of reader
Awesome app

This is an awesome app. Now if only Amazon would team up with these guys to be able to load kindle books into it.
Easy way to focus on text

Reading webpages can be distracting for a variety of reasons. This app helps me focus by taking out the distractions. Easy to use and works
So good

I use to split between this and ReadQuick but now I use this exclusively. Worth every penny!
