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 Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/4a/58/b1/4a58b138-e845-0b6d-2485-56e9181c0de8/pr_source.png/1242x2688.png) ## Flash Reader Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 106 (66%) - 4 stars: 20 (13%) - 3 stars: 13 (8%) - 2 stars: 6 (4%) - 1 stars: 15 (9%) ## Flash Reader Reviews in United States ### ****- "Ahead of its time and very simple to use." Who would have thought years later that this type of concept would be integrated into short form videos on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram for the captions. This app is the only ways re cents that I have completed reading books. I just wish it had fancy text like the captions on the newer videos. -- Twin4401, 2025-01-27 ### **--- "Major flaws" 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. -- Readmyreview112, 2022-06-24 ### *---- "Don't get tricked" 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 🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏼 -- Y nickname to leave reviews?, 2021-01-29 ### *---- "CRASHES Please issue a refund" I just upgraded the app to be able to use the camera and now it crashes every time I try to use it. Bad. -- Th3 gr34t, 2021-01-24 ### ****- "epub" 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. -- Dr. L., 2020-07-27 ### *---- "Trash" This app is pure trash. Nothing works. Absolutely nothing. -- Walterino18, 2020-07-15 ### *---- "Flash Reader app 1st impression—rubbish😱" 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! -- KLCountry, 2020-05-12 ### ***** "For a slow reader" 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. -- DBRG RJM, 2020-01-24 ### *---- "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. -- lawjef, 2019-10-27 ### ***-- "Love flash reader (suggestion for a feature)" 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 -- Icon3003, 2019-02-01 [View all Flash Reader reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Flash Reader In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Flash Reader Pro | $3.99 | ## Flash Reader Discovered Keywords -
