5/5One of the Greatest App Ever!
The title says is all because you have thousands of free books that you can read and you can control the speed of the focus box of words. It has improve my speed reading in just one day that I think that every school and every professional work place should have this app installed in their computer for learning and taking care of daily tasks of reading the emails or project requirements. Five dollars is nothing for what you will get inside this app: thousands of free books and speed reading app.

3/5Needs improved guide
The 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?

2/5Quick reader
The 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.

5/5Speed Read Helper
I've had this for many years now and used it off and on. I'd say they have really put some good work into updating the app and because of this I've decided to give it a review. The copy past options and WPM are all great options along with the many other settings the developer has added. Thank you all for creating a great app and including a guide. It would also be great to ask for a guide on how most people will see improvements if they use the app regularly. This may help boost usage and sales. All the best.

5/5Quick Reader
QuickReader QuickReader trumps all all other speed reading apps in many ways. Firstly, navigation within the app is intuitive and easy to do. Secondly, the app settings can be adjusted easily to fit user’s reading goal. For example, my goal is to make three fixations per line of text while reading at 500 words per minute. I made the adjustment quite easily. Finally, the overall workings of the app is fluid and seamless with no awkward crashes like those that plague many other speed reading apps. Thanks to the hard work of the app creator in ensuring the that the app is kept up to date. I absolutely like this app and it was my motivation to buy my first iPad years ago. This app is awesome. It improves reading by turning it into a fun activity to look forward to. Thanks for blessing the AppStore and the world with QuickReader.

3.4
Lots of you were asking us to make it easier way to import your own DRM-free EPUB books into QuickReader, so in version 3.4 we have added iTunes File Sharing. This allows you to drag books into (and out of) the QuickReader File Sharing section in iTunes. To import books, select your device in iTunes, then the Apps tab, then select QuickReader in the file sharing section at the bottom, then drag and drop your books or select the Add... button. In order to help organize all the books you are going to be importing into QuickReader, we have added a hierarchical author view. Now when you select the Author sort in the Library, there will only be one entry per author. If an author has more than one book then you can select that author to see all of their books listed. We've also added support for having lots and lots of books in the app at once. We tested with over 2500 books and the app barely flinched - loading in less than 15 seconds. That's faster than it used to load with 50 books. And with fewer books it's even faster. And, of course, there were the obligatory bug fixes, including: - Fix for rotation bug that would sometimes cause half of the screen to get cut off. - Fix for TOC issue where table of contents for some books wouldn't display properly. - Fix for issue where images would sometimes not be displayed. - Fix for Calibre2OPDS catalog formatting issues. - Fix for issue caused when catalog "Load more..." was tapped more than once. We hope you enjoy the update!
