QuickReader - Speed Reading Customer Service

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.

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.

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.

I rarely write a review. But this was worth it to comment on bc this is a great app with easy user interface and actually effective when practiced regularly. They have improved the features since the version only available on iPad! The only reason it did not get 5 stars was the minimal database of books. I'm sure they could significantly increase the number of users overnight if they partnered with a larger database of books, or even daily newspaper subscriptions! I'd even pay if they partnered with new your times, U.S. News & World Report or Washington post!

I enjoy using the guided reading feature to train my eye movement to track along the page faster and to read words ins sets instead of singularly. The controls allow for moving between speeds easily and to adjust the guide quickly. I especially love have a library of quality books to pick from for my reading workouts. Totally worth the money.

This app allows you to read books normally and to train yourself to speed-read. It is extremely configurable so you can adjust the speed and type of scanning and the appearance any way you want. It is connected to excellent public domain catalogs so you can find all kinds of material easily. I highly recommend this app especially if you want to work on increasing your reading speed.

I was skeptical at first, but once I allowed myself to buy into the idea that I can improve my speed of reading, it happened! This app definitely works when one utilizes discipline and practice with this Quick Read app. Quick tip: try not to let your thoughts wonder or have distractions while reading because it effects the results of the speed test. 😉

Love the speed reading and the fact that everywhere I go I have access to thousands upon 10 thousands of books and written work at no cost! I've had this app for a few years and I don't believe I ever got around to rating it. So, here I am and I'm shocked that there's only 35 other ratings. This is like the best kept secret in the app world. Ink stone Software, Inc. needs a marketing initiative.

I have looked for something like this for years. Reading EE and medical texts took a grave toll on my reading speed. The app seems to include everything I could imagine and works smoothly. I hope support for it continues. Please work out a deal so material from a Kindle library can be loaded into it. I would pay ten to twenty dollars for that feature.

I use this to learn to read faster and it really helps. It used to be integrated with instapaper, so it was easy to go from one to the other, but now I have to copy the text there and paste it here. Slower and a hassle but it works, although sometimes the app will crash in the process. I would like to see two improvements: 1. Ensure the copied and pasted text retains its punctuation. 2. Add a progress bar so one can see how much is left. Other than that it's a great app

Excellent reading app for those who love to read and those who think they do not have the time to read an entire book. I have increased my reading speed tremendously and I can essentially finish a book in half the time it used to take. I like the feeling of accomplishment and I find that using this app is a nice break from television.

I’ve had this app for almost ten years and it seamlessly keeps up with iOS updates. I don’t recall ever having a problem in using it. It provides access to public domain works and it has an adjustable speed reading function that works as a great trainer to keep up my pace. This is definitely one of my favorite apps.

I’m new to using the app, but I found its navigation fairly simple. There is a plethora of books to download, also the ability to import your own .epub books. So far, I can see this being my favorite phone e-reading application. There’s just so much offered here

A few of the places the app suggests for downloading "open source" books haven't worked for me. I have been able to get some very cool books but still wish I could read all the books I have on my kindle app through this app. But, I can read some books I should have paid better attention to in high school while I learn speed reading.

This app provides everything I could possibly ask for, and you can clearly see that the reading features are exclusively thoughtfully offered to produce a environment conducive for improving reading ability and speed. All in all a great app worthy of the price, which is nothing but reasonable (if not generous).

I've been using this app for a few years now. It easily downloads, stores and displays the books I love. Books can be downloaded directly through the app from sources such as Project Gutenberg, Feedbooks and others. The screen color and fonts can also be easily customized.

This app is helping me improve my speed and comprehension. It is helping me to resist the temptation to silently say each word in my head, and instead focus on a block of words at the same time. Focusing on the block improves my speed, and with considerable practice my comprehension is maintained at the higher reading rate.

This app is great for learning how to speed read. What sets this app apart from others is its adjustability. You can fine tune it to work the way you want it so you can read the way you need to given the level you are at.

This app is good for those who want to improve their basic reading speed. I like the adjustments available allowing the 'stop per line' and 'word for minute' guide. I have tried other speed reading resources and compared to them I give this one a thumbs up. I wish there was a wider genre category for downloadable books.

This is a fun and effective way to improve one's reading skills. I like the way it highlights more than one word at a time and shows you context around the highlighted words. Other apps that just show you single words within a sea of white are boring.

Quickread is great. The library in the free app is quite good. I also believe this is making me a much faster and better reader. The flexibility in settings things up to help and adjust to my preferences is excellent. Fully recommend it. Get good at reading while enjoying good books.

This app will cut the time it takes you to read a book in half if you use it effectively. I find myself turning pages every 45 seconds to 1 minute. People always ask me: “can you actually read that fast?”

I have enjoyed this app for number of years now. I come back to it often on, but it stays consistent with its high quality and access to free classic literature. Great help to those struggling with speed reading, and an excellent resource for any mind.

I’ve been using this app for a couple days now in conjunction with a speed reading course that I’m using. I must say I’m impressed with the amount of material available. I’m still learning the ins and outs but if there was an added comprehension feature it would be comparable to any speed reading course

In an age devoted to self adulation wherein the inconveinient knowledge of the past is yet again obliterated or silenced by the chitterings of popular dunces given over to political correction and control, thank you for preserving and making readily available the priceless lessons, thoughts and laughter of past generations of both wisdom and folly.

It took me a while to learn how to bookmark, but playing around with it helped. I’ve found a challenging speed to read at, and I’m hoping to get myself to, at least 500 wpm, with full comprehension. I’d recommend the app.

I just bought this app. The already linked free catalogs is vast enough to read the rest of my life. I really bought this to read my Kindle books. Right after the app recognizes the book in Kindle’s clipboard and I tap on it to start reading it, it crashes.

This app really let's you customize how fast you want to read, how many segments per line, or how many lines at a time. With it's huge library you will never be out of reading material.

I really enjoy the selection of books and the fact that I can read them faster. More books in less time = finally tackling my long “to be read” list.

Outstanding app challenge is my reading skills daily. I have recommended this to my students and many have tried it and enjoy it as well.

It took a few minutes to figure things out and I want to take books from my kindle and read them faster.

This is the bomb. I’m not exaggerating!! You have access to every book you could ever dream of reading and you have the reading guides that focus your eyes. I went through Jane Eyre in two sittings.

I have always wanted to gain the discipline of speed reading but have never had the time nor the tools. This app is fantastic in that it provides the tools to help master speed reading.

For very little money, you get an app that will help you speed read ebooks as well as paper paged. I would only suggest that they offer the same app for desktops. And I know they're working on that.

The eye training and pacing routines get the job done. My reading speed went up more than 250% — in less than a year!

Speed Reading has help me to improve my reading skills and enjoy reading more books.

Outstanding content. Very easy to navigate. You will find many books that you wouldn't expect to be available for free. Highly recommended.

I admit, that I don't make enough use of the speed reading app. It's great though, but following highlighted words don't make for a relaxing read. The search engine is phenomenal. Thank you.

Better than Kindle. Largest selection of free books. Easily navigated interface. Download what you want and have something great to read anytime, anywhere.

Great App.. just wish they had the capability of using this on any book out there. But the provided works is very informative and this app will help you fly through it. And I really mean that.

This is a great app to practice reading faster. Fluctuate between reading slow and fast to slowly get the hang of drastically increasing your reading speed:)

I’m using this app to replace a couple others that have gone away with the change to only 64 bit apps on iOS. This one has everything I need and has the added bonus of letting you learn how to read faster too. Well worth a try.

This easy to use app helped me improve my reading speed. If I find my reading speed and retention dropping I just come back to the app and practice some more. I also like that it is connected with lots of free books. I definitely recommend this app.

Quick reader is an essential tool to help speed reading. It allows good training for your eyes to see words faster and focusing on more words at the time. Moreover, you can add ebook through itunes.

I have two e-readers on my iPad, Kindle and this one. This one is my favourite because there is a vast collection of books available, even from the in-app stores. I read about 100 books per year, and Kindle has spoiled itself with too many upgrades so that it runs really slowly right now on my four year-old iPad.

I must say that although we purchased this app for its speed-reading improvement capabilities; it quickly became our favourite book reader, with or without the timed reading. Quickreader has so many extras that actually help the user, instead of being bloat-ware, including but hot limited to: an auto-rotational lock; one swipe brightness control; day and night settings (to make the most of your battery); and a wide variety of fonts, sizeable text, and colours to suit any need. Lastly, of all the book readers we have come across, Quickreader has the largest selection of book libraries to choose from, including (but not limited to) Gutenberg and The Internet Archive. My only complaint is more of a suggestion for future builds: Please stop thinking of QR as a real book, with pages you have to tap or slide to turn over; use the most of your medium. Thinking outside the box, one could see that being able to scroll down as you are reading, like a long webpage, would be a marvellous feature to add, perhaps moving the brightness controls else-ware.PDF support would also be nice. Cheers

Au début, je n’y arrivait pas: mes yeux rebelles ne voulaient pas suivre le rectangle de couleur qui surlignait le mot à lire. Alors j’ai eu l’idée: si je mettais le texte de la même couleur que le papier et le rectangle surligneur assez foncé, alors là je serais obligé de suivre. Je remarque en l’écrivant que l’inverse doit fonctionner à merveille: j’y vais de ce pas!!! Trad Google: At first, I couldn't do it: my rebellious eyes didn't want to follow the colored rectangle that highlighted the word to be read. So I had the idea: if I put the text in the same color as the paper and the highlighter rectangle dark enough, then there I would have to follow. I notice while writing it that the reverse must work wonderfully: I'm going right now!!!

Hi This is a great App. It helps a lot with reading speed, I have one thing to share with you. I can't import books from iBooks into the Quickreader Also can not tap into my private library Any suggestion. Thanks Fox65

Well thought out and easy to follow along.

The system really helped me to absorb what I was reading at a faster pace.

Nice app

Genuinely great resource for reading and literature!

An excellent compendium for the finding and then reading of books free. Things could not be any better! Further this book list is always available for pulling down a book in other genres at any time. To continue I still remain convinced that this collection of books is enough for a month of Sundays

Get this app and get thousands of free books from the Gutenberg press!

Works great

Amazing app. ! !,,,,,

Helps increase your reading speed naturally. Love all the customizable features.

I use it everyday and now with bookmark feature it makes a great app even better. Helps get through reading with ease and enjoyment. Helped give me a steady improvement in my reading speed.

Great app improving reading speed and enjoying your ebooks. I especially enjoy seeing how long it will take to read a book at a certain wpm; it's like having a movie "run time" but for your books.

Since my favorite reading app no longer works, I have found this to be the perfect replacement and has improved my speed reading skills at the same time....so many books, so little time!

This app is great!

With an assortment of books and the speed reading highlights, you can improve your reading speed steadily.

L'une des meilleures applications pour la lecture sur iPad ou iPhone. Je donnerais 5 étoile lorsqu'il sera plus facile d'importer ses propres documents pour une lecture rapide.

An excellent app save one feature: some of the paste boards end up formatted poorly, which makes them less easy to read. Other than that, the app is very useful.

Really useful app must have if you like to read and don't have much time to! Helps learn to speed read

This is a great app. It is helping me to read faster. I only wish that I could order the books in a particular way as some of my books don't seem to show which is the first in a series

Awesome

This app definitely helps

Very good Hope it has dictionary

Very good for getting started. A 'finger drag' option would be great.

I finally gave up on Bookshelf after recent updates trashed it. This app works flawlessly with every book I've tried so far, and the Feedbooks downloads were fast and easy. The flaw I encountered was a total inability to log onto Baen books and download stuff I've paid for. Aside from that one problem, the app is slick, and very well executed, and the speed reading concept works surprisingly well. Highly recommended!

This app is awesome! I only have two suggestions: it would be so much better if the e-books available had summaries so that u can read the blurb n decide which book u want to read. It would also be nice if u had instructions on how to get the best result from this program on the app. ie) what speed to start at, wether or not u need to focus on just the words n get comprehension later, etc. ... Other than that, it's fantastic!!!

I love this app

Best ebook app!

Extremely useful!

To me, this is the best of both worlds, learning to speed read with the convenience of an iPad and the technology of a programmed learning tool.

This is one of the greatest updates ever for an app I have seen in a long time. Thank you so much. You are creating a perfect product 👍

Great little app - especially like the feature that lets you preset the speed and number of stops per line their highlighting tool will use and then pull up thousands of classics and public domain books up to use this with. Not only do you have easy access to all these great books, but you also have tool that increases your reading speed as you read them.

Features for reducing eye strain and text segmentation

I use it in the metro going to the office and all the way until I land in my bed... Wherever whenever I feel like reading.

This app Is really nice for the price

Essential software to improve your reading speed

Terrific layout and font choices Much better screen display than almost all other ebook apps, including Kindle. But for books from the Baen Free Library and Smashwords, at least, italics are stripped out and presented as roman type. Fix this, and I'd give it five stars.

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?

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.

It’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.

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!!

I 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.

Where 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)

This 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.

“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.

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".

Been using this app for 2 years. Best of speed readers but new version very laggy

J’aimerais ajouter des livres Kindle mais trouve pas la façon de faire

J’adore

I 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.

I 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.

Biggest waste of money

I'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!!!

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.
