A Faster Reader

Update: like so many others have said, premium features have stopped working. Looks like dev has abandoned this app (and others). Sucks. Time to move on. ------------------------- Tried the top few speed readers in the Play Store and this is the best! Smart enough to skip web page headers when reading. Configurable font size and colour theme (premium). Even integrates with Chromecast for reading on TV! Premium features are priced very reasonably, and the free version did let me try it out to my satisfaction without any time limit. Great job!

Premium features just stopped working one day. I've had no reply from support which makes the app useless. Otherwise it was good but until they fix this its 1 star useless. I'll update my review if they do fix before I give up totally and delete the app. Waste of time and money. UPDATE 2 weeks on: no reply from support email or Twitter, I suspect the company behind this may have liquidated or something.

In app premium features just turned off one day, and I have yet to hear back from support after 2 emails. Apart from that it's a 5 star app and I will change my review when this gets fixed... Otherwise it's just a scam.

Premium stopped working. This used to be a great app, and it's star rating is likely due to old reviews. The app no longer works. Repeated emails to developer go unanswered. Unable to open epub files now.

I've also lost premium features even tho I've been a premium user for years. I even tried buying the new premium features (even tho I didn't need them, I just love this app that much), but no dice. What a pain.

After last update premium stopped working, emailed dev twice, no reply. Would like what I paid for.

Broken. I purchased the premium version, and it worked great for a long time but now I get an error that I can't do things because I'm not a premium user. I can't endorse this to anyone until this bug is fixed.

Had this app for years and now premium doesn't work anymore. It has been least 3 months and nothing has been fixed. Themes don't work, and continuing from the notification bar no longer works. Seems like the devs gave up on this one .

I want to buy the premium, but noticing the most recent user reviews makes me hesitant. Any plans to fix and update?

Themes no longer work. We're back to having the bright screen halo burned into my retinas.

I paid for premium and books and they do not work. Rip off app, avoid like tuberculosis.

Paid for premium, but they stopped working!

Want to use on my pebble so brought the premium version still can't read books but says I can...

Premium user. Resume from tray and themes stopped working.

Well, cool app but premium features don't work. No refund either, excellent.

I bought the premium version but premium features stopped working

Больше 350 слов в минуту - извольте заплатить. Я могу только изволить удалить к чертям. Да и удобство интерфейса донное. Будто других ридеров нет

Premium features just stopped working!

Don't buy app; premium stopped working.

Lost features

Stable - Useful - simple & free!! It is very useful in improving your reading speed. I improved mine a lot. Regular use is mandatory for considerable improvement..!

I wonder why i can not read more than 2 articles from pocket? Does it make sense? I will change my evaluation to 4, if you fix that.

I'm not a fast reader by any stretch, but with this easily manage 550 words a minute. It plugs in beautifully to the android share system, making it easy to use for a wide variety of applications. Looking forward to future updates, but really helps me as a slow reader. A proudly paid up user.

I would like to see easier access to the books as plain text, also when you tap on the book icon, to select a word from which to begin reading from, the text displayed losses it's formatting and becomes difficult to navigate. And an updated icon would be nice.

I paid for basic functionality that now bears additional costs for the same value. Love speed reading, better find a better app.

I've had this app for quite a while and it's pretty nifty. What's isn't nifty is the developers blatant greed. Initially there was only 1 optional paid version, which I paid for expecting to get updates they've promised over time. Now instead they offer these new updates and features as separate things us users have to pay for. It's ridiculous and a spit in the face of paid users like myself. I'm appealed by the business model and wish I never gave them my initial payment to begin with.

What makes this less attractive, is the "please pay again" concept for features that should be included, when you have already bought the premium app. A mistake from the devs, no matter how angry they get from customers pointing this out. I paid for this craps... There are free apps that are way better than this garbage. Balto speed reading is a better paid app with more frequent updates.

Adding a book to the library does nothing. The book isn't added. There's no error. Nothing. I tried a non-drm .epub and a .txt. I paid for the full featured combo plugin combo.

Everything works fine but my only problem is that I can not read on my Pebble while the phone screen is off, making it useless for me as that is what I intended to use it for...

Won't let me transfer a book. Paid what it said even know it advertises it as free. When I send a book from Kindle to AFR it states the book has transferred here. When you go to AFR nothing is there. Frustrating.

I regret paying a dollar for Pebble functionality only to find that the app itself remains functionally crippled unless I'm willing to fork over more cash for basic features. I've been hustled. Shame on me, I guess. I'd like a refund.

This concept of reading is definitely faster and this is probably the best mobile app I could find for doing so. A little tricky to navigate, but functional nonetheless...

Like the app but can you add a feature to incorporate Digg into the RSS?

Won't recognize any ebooks while every other reader can. Paid for a broken promise. Walk on keep your money

Spritz reading always leaves a halo image in my eyes from looking at bright LCD screens. This app has the wonderful option of pushing your reading to other devices, such as the pebble e-reader watch! It's brilliant! The pebble app really really really needs an update (hence only 4 stars, not 5), now that the color pebble time has been released, but for the most part it gets the job done.

Only issue is that PDF files won't load or else this would have been a 5 star rating. But it's as low as 3 star as I mainly have books in PDF format.

How long will the PDF import stay experimental ?

Tried pocket and doesn't work Hope it could support little faster speed wpm also for challenges

Share works great. Sometimes irritating it needs to pull the text from the Web when shared but otherwise it's great!

This time it works awesomely! Much better than previous version.
