Spritz SpeedReader

Decided to download the app because the latest (bad) reviews were from 2014. It's now 2016 so I thought perhaps they fixed all of the issues that people were reporting in their reviews. Nope. The app is completely broken from end to end. Nothing works properly and it appears as though the developers completely abandoned this project but left in on the app store. Horrible execution on an excellent idea.

Can't use with books in Kindle or play book

Its a great app and deserves 5 stars

Who built this?

Worthless. I added an epub book to the library. Then clicked Read. It took me to the settings, I set the speed and then....nothing! There's no way to actually use the app. Total scam. Stay away.

Does not follow the Android design guidelines at all. The sliding menu on the left requires the user to touch a very small target in order to trigger it and won't let you just swipe from the edge of the screen. Also, forcing the user to tap, again, on tiny targets in order to increment/decrement the settings is just bad design. This needs to be changed to something that the user can rapidly scroll through or even type in manually. Also, a dead man's trigger for reading? Really?!

Nice idea but the implementation is a bit odd.. * Non intuitive interface. * Custom preferences/settings ui that takes up a whole page in the application * custom color selector limited I.e. can't change the brightness or saturation of the color so for read ability your choices are limited * I don't like that you need to keep holding to keep reading.. I'd prefer touch to start/stop. * The reading bubble sometimes escapes and you can't get it back (Nexus 4) Good start.. Looking forward to next version!

I cannot figure out how to open any texts, books or downloaded docs...app is unusable.

It's not to say it can't be improved, but I'm genuinely impressed by this idea and I hope to see it develop as much as possible.

I clicked every button on the thing, and could not get any of my Kindle books to open in it. All I could read were the ads.

Doesn't work on my Moto X.

The reading bubble sticks to the top left corner and sometimes disappears on my Sony z1

Doesn't work. Wouldn't let me open any PDFs. I'll be happy to re-rate one the bus are worked out. Still looking for a good PDF Spritz reader.

Absolutely useless and not really a epub reader at all. RUBBISH

Tried to open a Kindle book, but I don't see it listed in my apps. Instead, tried to open a bible from Tecarta, but app doesn't recognize the bibles I have. Tried to go back to "open from library" but it won't go back to full selections. Sad! :'(

It doesn't work with my kindle books. It is useless.

Can't read my Google play books

Can't use with books in Kindle or play book

I can't open my books

Doesn't even work!

Using an S4 and couldn't get it to read an epub. Brand new app so naturally some bugs, will try again in a few weeks and see if improvements have been made.

App hasn't worked right yet...not only that there are no instructions on how to use the app. So no matter how great it is suppose to be you can't even use it. Plus right now it can't even read pdf files...
