QuickReader - Speed Reading for Negative User Reviews
✓ The updated version laggy.Been using this app for 2 years. Best of speed readers but new version very laggy.Version: 4.2
✓ Good appIt's a good application, but I have two major quarrels with it that allow room for improvement. 1) there are 5-6 book catalogues of old books you can look through to download. However, you have to search for your book one-by-one. It would be much more convenient to be able to do one search that looked through all the catalogues at once. 2) you cannot add your own books from another source, and it's not compatible with iBooks, which is a big shame. One star off for each of those points, but on the whole, I think it's a helpful tool..Version: 3.8
✓ Lots of bugsI find the navigation a bit clunky. It is easy to accidentally go to the next page. I also could not find a way to set the place where the speed reader marker should be if I was in the middle of a page. The pages also started getting out of order. If I paged forward and back multiple times this would go away..Version: 4.8
✓ THE DUMBEST APP ON PLANET EARTH!This app does not give you any training exercises other than books filled with information that "they" want you to read. In this way they can fill your mind with "whatever" "they" "want" under the guise of: "You're 'learning' how to 'read' faster". In other words, it seems like subliminal messaging similar to the patheticness you will find in the movie The Matrix. To expose your mind to the "unknown" is potentially "dangerous"..Version: 4.8
✓ Clunky and glitchy“Add a catalog?” Of what? How? ”Fully customizable” except the fact that you can’t read any book you’d like. Only a handful of classics and a bunch of no name authors that are free all over the internet. It’s the save 30 books that float around for $3 at Barnes and noble at the entrance and are free on all the book sites online. Disappointed, don’t get duped like I did..Version: 4.8
✓ Only not support text selection with my ipad miniGood app to practise speed reading, if can support text selection or notes, it would be perfect..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Crashes w/ iOS 4.It was pretty good until the latest update. Thanks, jerks. I paid $5 for nothing. Fix it. Include calibre sync while you're at it..Version: 3.4
✓ It keeps freezingI'll get a dozen pages read then it freezes and I have to close the application down and restart it. Then it doesn't even remember what page I was on... please fix it!!!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Waste of moneyBiggest waste of money.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Only DRM-free books availableI really like reading on the app but I wish I could access the ebooks I borrow from my local library through it..Version: 4.8
✓ No book importsI think the app is fine for improving reading speed, but WHY can't you import your own books or articles from Instapaper, Pocket, the web, etc. It really needs this in a future update..Version: 3.6.3
✓ CrashesI really loved this app, I used it every day...until I updated, now it crashes on start up. Boo :(.Version: 3.10.2
✓ Can't import from Dropbox or iBooksDon't waste your time.Version: 3.8
✓ Very good butI like the app very much, however, it lacks support for PDF files and importing of own ebooks. Option of flash card reading can be a good addition for improving speed reading. Also if an additional feature such as automatic incremental increase of speed by certain percentage while reading will definitely add value to the app, should optional..Version: 3.6.3
✓ Quick readerThe latest version of QR has become much less stable than previous. It crashes almost every time I try to download a book. It may be due to my using an older tablet (iOS 9.3) but it is borderline unusable. I can think of at least two things this app needs. I download books or even stories that are not always published in one piece. When an update comes out I have to delete the book from the Quick Reader library and then reimport it with the update. I suppose that would be tolerable but QR doesn't always recognize the additional chapter(s). So, an option to overwrite an existing book in the library with an updated version would be better. Additionally, books I've imported do not always show up in the library. The other nice to have is a desktop version. All that said it is the best ePub reader I've tried..Version: 4.1
✓ Easy improvement fix3 out of 5 stars > only because there are 3 no brainer simple ideas not yet added as with most speed reading apps do like Ace reader; which is the options of having flashed text in organised thoughts as within human thinking, having in sentence flashes to each full stop, and or phrase flashes to either smaller than sentences as each comma, or larger than sentences to divided lines as in complete thought... So adding that would refine more comprehensive speed reading though regardless I like this app as necessary for instant quick reads via no fuss taps = (reasonably hard understanding my following say without demo) = another general speed reading idea in conjunction within my particular use is I first use iPads read aloud feature called speaker ramp up b/t 400 to 700 wpm used within notes app & switching back to speaker settings is instant just by single hand swipe to screen, and then finally copy paste that read into your quick reader app reinforces training using speed read guiding mode but without any guider flashing as set to “non” makes your app even way faster reading than 4000 wpm limit > > > since it is then set onto auto page turns is why your quick reader app. Is just so worth my interchangeable uses = best thanks from me..Version: 4.7
✓ TerribleThis app is stupid! i couldnt even find to kill a mockingbird, one of the all time greatest books! i want my money back..Version: 0
✓ No customization whatsoever!!I paid for the app to be able to read articles from different places on the internet with guided mode, so I can fasten and track my reading speed but the app doesn’t allow users to do so. Also I can not bring in books from iBooks. The app advertise another app within it for searching in its books for another 1 dollar! I’m requesting a refund right now! If you want to use the app’s library it might be good for you otherwise a waste of money. Also the app doesn’t support right to left languages such as Persian and Arabic which again shows how unjustified its price is. It should be in its early development phase not on App Store already!!.Version: 4.7
✓ Needs improved guideThe app has a lot of promise. I want believe that this app will improve my reading time but there is one dilemma. I have no clue how to download the books I want on the app. For example, I want a pdf of a book I found online. So I email it to myself. The problem is that when I try to open it in the QuickReader app, their app doesn’t show up as an option. iBooks shows up as an option. Nook shows up as an option. Even a scanner app that rarely use shows up as an option. But where the heck is QuickReader? There is no easy way to download your books using your mobile phone. I tried using the directions that the guide laid out for me. I went through the steps but still nothing. I don’t want to read some ancient texts provided for me for free in the catalogs. I want to read new best sellers. How can I do that if I can’t even get it on the app in the first place?.Version: 4.7
✓ Poor poor appGoing to request a refund for this nonsense. How is this supposed to train?.Version: 4.7
✓ LikeJ’adore.Version: 4.8
✓ Some Quirks but Seems to be EffectiveIt’s great to have direct access to so many great books to apply this app to. However, for the purpose of practicing and getting faster at reading, some of them are a bit tricky (eg Uncle Tom’s Cabin uses dialect that is hard to read quickly, and the Art of War’s formatting is messed up so as to not be practical). Lastly, the guide bar sometimes goes squirrels and you have to flip pages back and forth to reset it. Still, once you’re fine with that and find a good regular “English” book, this seems to be very effective to gradually improve your reading skills and build speed..Version: 4.8
✓ Great conceptWhere this app’s big strength is it’s customizability it lacks in accessibility to content. There are several books that I would like to access that I own and PDFs that I have that I can’t bring in. Many of the books I find in the catalogue aren’t even full versions of books (eg. have found several versions of brothers karamazov and neither full nor abridged).Version: 4.7
✓ IPhone userDisappointed, the one reason I wanted this over iBooks was so that (I hoped) I could make the print larger. I am diabetic and it affects my eyes. It would have been so easy to make the text increase / decrease in size but it seems to have been forgotton by all you programmers. BTW: Not all of us want to speed read as we like to take our time enjoying the author's comments but I can see why others would and that is great. Just don't forget we poor people with bad eyesight and if you know anything about diabetes your eyesight can be one thing one day and another that afternoon so reading glasses just don't work. Cheers though and for healthy people it should be good. John.Version: 2.3.2
✓ Very limited accessible libraryThe app works fine and is the best eBook speed reader I've found so far. The eye is guided across the page - I prefer the Spritz technology, because it keeps the eye in the same place. SpeedReader uses the open page, grouping words, but I find a tendency to read ahead and it is hard to find the right pace. The worst aspect though is that only a fraction of the books available on the associated sites are available for SpeedReader, thus the purpose of paying for the app in the first place has been rendered obsolete. I checked Feedbooks beforehand and found all the books I wanted to read - but none is available through the SpeedReader app!.Version: 3.8
✓ No instructionThis app doesn’t seem to have any tutorial on how to use it. Also while reading the screen starts to go dark because my phone thinks I’m not using it, a simple problem that should never have been there. I’ve used other apps that didn’t do this. There is no courses, no suggestions, no instruction on the best way to build speed. It’s literally just thrown at you. No help. I’d say use this because it seems there isn’t any good alternative anymore..Version: 4.1
✓ Good app, could be betterThe app is good for learning speed reading and you can adjust the settings to keep improving. Unfortunately a lot of the books available are not what I would read and so the training is a bit of a chore. I would use this more often and probably see better results if I could download content from calibre like I can on stanza..Version: 0
✓ Bad appThis app has only got a few sites to download books and can't import them. All the books are really old and none of the books are new ones. This app is really bad, do not spend your money on this rubbish!!!!!.Version: 3.8
✓ Useless and terrible appWith this app you do nothing. You cannot load a pdf, you can’t load from a url. You can only be forced to read from a library of free books. I feel like I’ve donated money to this developer as I am going to remove this app after 15 minutes of using it. Apple should introduce refunds asap..Version: 4.5
