Excellent

Very happy I found this app. The lines and even the red letter have a spectacular orienting effect that make it quite relaxing.

Great

Two requests 1. Bring back the import feature so kindle books can be imported. 2. Would love for it sync between devices Then it would be an awesome app

Well Done

I love being able to read books using the Spritz method. The only feature I would like to see is an indicator showing what page Im on along with total pages in the book.

Scrolling!

Love the scrolling instead page turning. I naturally read faster. Pretty decent book selection. Thumbs up on the deals of the day. Gives that other ebook seller a run for its billions.

Im enjoying reading in the speed reader mode! It gives a new dimension to reboots.

Enjoying so far until now Dec 12, 2015

This app was great until a download yesterday. Now I am not able to download any of my books. I am in the middle of a very good book! HELP! It is hung up and doesnt work at all

Keeps getting better

App just keeps getting better and better. Tons of features that no other app has, (reading stats, Spritz speed reading, etc) and their book selection is growing too. I’ve even mentioned product designs by emailing their team and they were very responsive.

Not Very Good

No features, static pages, ended up buying the print version of the book.

Book shout

App s good, but it icon disappeared after latest upgrade, how do I got it back?

Doesnt Work

This app freezes when you open it if you have a bookmark. It doesnt delete bookmarks or highlights. Quirky at best.

Redesign is horrible!

1. Where previous design had a dark background the new design has a white background with no way to change it. 2. You cannot buy books from the app. 3. If you remove a book from the app you have to buy it again. 4. The free book section is littered with biblical text and erotica. 5. Many of the books in the free section have either the wrong covers or the authors are wrong. 6. Most of the free books have no descriptions. 7. All books are set to public when you read them and you must set them to private instead of the other way around.

Awesome app but a lot of room to grow

Fixing the following would make this a 5 star review - remember sprint reading location in between app sessions. Atm if you are half way through a chapter and you have to put the phone down for a while, you will come back and have to start at the beginning of the chapter in sprint reading or read it in standard view. - allow users to chose where on the chapter/ page they would like to start sprint reading. Addresses the same issue as above example. Otherwise a really cool app that makes you feel like you are downloading a book directly to your brain

Great Source Of Reading Material

This app offers a lot of great books for free! The interface is great and the speed reading function is awesome!

Solid

Downloaded this for the Spritz integration and wasnt disappointed on that end. Would love (/would kill) for this to be able to read iBooks like others have probably said, know it isnt that simple but thought Id mention. Thank you for offering this application for free.

Promising but buggy

The UI appealing and the selection wasnt as bad as I imagined. Im running iOS 9 and after reading a book the app would crash. It happened enough that I found it too annoying to keep using.

Good AP!

I like this. Good books at good prices. I wish that I could change my info and photograph. Otherwise its fine

UI Unresponsive

After one day, the UI broke and most buttons didnt work. The only thing I could press was the bookshelfs three books. Couldnt search, view all my books, couldnt go to the settings, nothing. I got this app for the Spritz capability, so Ill give you that, but otherwise. Boo.

Love the unique speed reading feature!

If you enable users to upload ePubs to the cloud and sync the across devices it would be amazing. Also not a 5 star just yet because it doesnt save the last page I was reading before leaving the app.

I just need more free books bro

seriously.

Great Idea, Horrible Realization

I bought this app so I could speed read something other than Project Gutenberg using Spritz, which rocks. If you add in all the time I spent deleting and reinstalling the app and going on their support forum, I could have read the book twice. The fact that they rolled out this app with so many bugs in it tells me that theyre just not ready for the big time.
