Useless garbage
Paulski
This app continuously nags you to download one of their paid versions...so much so that I could not even get past the screen to use it. As soon as I would click "maybe later" the box would pop up again before I could even do anything. After a few cycles of clicking maybe (and even trying the other options) the app just crashes.
Perfect app.

I got the full version just days after getting the lite. I immediately saw the power of this app. I highly recommend you get it!
Help / instructions? 350wpm limit!!
eTip
Some of the glowing reviews particularly for the full version are obvious fakes/plants. Yes, I am smart enough to figure out the app - but why not include a help section that provides some basic guidlines, background to the concept etc.? It is a no brainer to add a "book" containing more info on the app, concept etc. that could be used for practice. Instead, we are forced to boring fables over and over. Only including one (lame) eBook does not allow me to determine if this will work for me. It rated me at over 400 wpm - then limits me to 350! In other words, it is actually slowing down my reading. Unbelievable. This is one case where a lite app actually cost them a sale. I read the reviews on the full version and was impressed but very dissappointed in the limitations and lack of explanation in this lite version. Also, no way I would pay $ 5 for the full versions since it STILL doesn't let you import your own text. Don't give me that BS about that not being it's "intended purpose" - other speed reading apps at less than 1/2 the price let you import.
You'll read faster in no time!

This is the kind of app I have been looking for. It's easy to use and IT WORKS! I've noticed my reading speed improved after less than an hour of using QuickReader. If you have a batch of books you have no time for then this is the app you should get ASAP.

Needs more

Decent app. I would buy the full version if it allowed import of ebooks and not just copy/paste importing. I'd also like to beabke to create my own bookmarks throughout the books. It would also be a much more effective app if the highlighting were smooth and fluid rather than jerky. At high speeds it is counter productive and unnatural.
Demo nice

First with regard to the comment made by etip on the 350 wpm limit the setting is adjustable. Either this was changed or etip may need to reread the manual slower. ;) One of the problems with all the speed reading apps is the screen size of the iPhone. Increasing the width of what you can take in without moving your eyes is on of the keys to speed reading. The small iPhone screen will only let you progress to a certain point. Once the ipad arrives this problem will be gone.
CRAP!!!

Worthless! All the books are in German. I have nothing against German other than I DON'T KNOW IT! Tried to fix it in settings, but couldn't find it after a few mins. And if that's difficult to find how many other problems are there. Maybe I'm dense and DL'd the wrong one. Who knows. Epic fail.
