Description

Ever had to read through a an email, book or an article on the web, but felt like it took ages to read through it all?
Normally your brain will attempt to pronounce words you read, which is called subvocalization or internal speech.
Flash Reader removes this limitation by showing you words so fast that your brain doesn't have time to subvocalize, but still allows you to retain everything you've read, by something called RSVP.
Whether it's light reading, or complicated business emails, training your eyes to read faster couldn't be easier, while your reading skill and comprehension will keep getting better and better with each article you finish.
3rd Party Support:
• Pocket, Instapaper & Dropbox support*
• Open & import eBooks files and docs such as DOC, RTF, TXT, PDF, EPUB, DOCX, AZW (Amazon Kindle .AZW files only), MOBI and ODT (OpenDocument) files*
Note: Documents need to be DRM-free (no copy protection) and have no OCR (scanned) elements.
Key Features:
• Massive document format support*
• Import from Dropbox, iTunes and any other app capable of opening files
• Built-in web-browser, with full support for Google search and saving articles*
• Bookmarking, easily resume where you left off
• Import documents by using your Camera*
• iOS 8 Extension for easy importing of both files and websites*
• Different reading modes to suit your needs
• Customization, including words per minute (WPM), words per flash, themes, fonts and font sizes

Services such as Instapaper, Pocket, website article saving and certain file-specific document conversions have limits and might require the Flash Reader Pro upgrade, which is a permanent one-time payment that unlocks all features of the app.
Some services (including PDF and ePub importing, as well as Microsoft Office files like DOCX) require an active internet connection when importing.
Also note that Flash Reader does not have voice support, so no text-to-speech or anything like that.

Flash Reader Reviews

Major flaws

Readmyreview112 on

United States

It was good until it restarted the book I was reading, which is a pretty big issue since you can’t skip around. These two things make it pretty much unusable.

Don't get tricked

Y nickname to leave reviews? on

United States

Free app that works with Pocket? Nice! Nope, gotta pay to sync with pocket Alright, it's an investment Nope, since I log onto Pocket using my Google account, I cannot connect it to Flash. Ugh Back to research *FOLLOW UP* I clicked help and I got asked to enable notifications.... Magically, the "skip" button is not working but the "ok" worked alright 🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏼

CRASHES Please issue a refund

Th3 gr34t on

United States

I just upgraded the app to be able to use the camera and now it crashes every time I try to use it. Bad.

epub

Dr. L. on

United States

I just learned that you can import ebooks in epub format into Flash Reader. This is a game changer. My only wish is that a table of contents could also be imported to make it easier to navigate the book.

Trash

This app is pure trash. Nothing works. Absolutely nothing.

Flash Reader app 1st impression—rubbish😱

KLCountry on

United States

I just downloaded the app and got annoyed within the first few minutes. It immediately got stuck on the Tips and pull down with 2 fingers page. Skip does not work. Suspicious that this app is not being supported so more user purchase the Flash Reader Pro. I will uninstall and try again but 1st impressions always resonate!

For a slow reader

DBRG RJM on

United States

I don’t do much reading, nor do I read at a good pace. This app has helped me get through books at a pace that is very satisfying. It also helps read books electronically in a way that is revolutionary. Reading books on a phone or tablet should not just look like electronic books. The technology should be used to revolutionize how we read. This app does that.

Be prepared to read the same passages over & over & over ...

There are a lot of minor issues I have with this speed reading app. None of which are dealbreakers. So let’s jump ahead to the biggest glitch. Well, I call it a glitch but it appears to be a deliberate design decision. If you don’t stop reading, go back to the book menu, and then exit to the top menu, the app ignores ALL of your reading progress. So any time you forget to do this (which is often because it is not a habit forced on you by any of the dozens of apps or spritz browser extensions I regularly use) or if you are just tired and shut the iPad without meticulously exiting the app, you lose all of your progress. Which could be forgivable (... maybe..) if you could easily locate your last reading position. But, again, unlike most speed reading apps, flash reader only shows you a few words at a time (as opposed to highlighting your current words on a page with much more text) even when you are not in speed reading mode. You have to guess where you stopped by using a scrolling gesture on the progress bar. It’s like finding a needle in a hay stack. Did I stop at the word “the” at about the 2 hour mark of the book? Or was it at the word “the” at the 3 hour mark of the book. Sigh. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good speed readers on iPadOS and I keep trying to use this flawed design. I’ll have to dig out an old android phone or resort to some of the (excellent) spritz chrome browser extensions until something better comes along.

Love flash reader (suggestion for a feature)

Icon3003 on

United States

I love flash reader and it’s ability to teach me subjects and review texts quickly and efficiently. Additional features I would like to see are 1. bookmarks so I can go back to specific sections of text more quickly 2. Add support for Google Drive for quick and easy way to add my books and other text without having to rely on clipboard (copy/paste). Thanks for the great app and attention to my suggestions. Good luck, Mike

It does work.. BUT.....

AdamLianne on

United States

There is just one huge slider which is useless to find ones place. This app needs the ability to show a table of contents and perhaps a short rewind option so we can find our place in a book or start at a different location than the copyright page. Until it does that I am deleting it.
