Selected Articles

  • "Honestly, I have been looking for this kind of application for the iPad for a long time. This is a terrific way to read. Though not an original idea, this application has long been missing from the app store. I am glad someone finally delivered it. For those contemplating this app: this truly is a great way to read quickly. Try it."

  • "Makes reading a bit more of an involved experience, as well as making it easier to keep focused :)"
    - Pander Dander,
  • "Try it, it really works. I recently tested my reading speed and it was about 200 - 220 wpm, reading with this app I can easily read 300 wpm."
    - Totoniel,
  • "Dial it up to 1200 words per minute and you may be surprised (I was) how quickly you can process a text. I love the concept and will use this for power reading. I think it improves my comprehension because I have to concentrate."
