Reading Trainer

As a teacher, I not only suggest this app to my students, but I would highly recommend and encourage them to use this app. If you are preparing for timed/standardized tests, this app is a MUST.

Tried the app, but immediately am pulled into what looks like an auto renewing recurring type money thievery. I don’t like that auto pay bull shucks. Deleted immediately. Plus the article I read said $2.99. Yeah, no. Also lovin the ai responses.

I get the need for subscriptions. It’s in order to make money, but as a student who cannot afford to purchase subscriptions like these, it makes it difficult. Sometimes I wish that apps were like duolingo where you could still access the features that make the app worth using (with ads), and subscriptions were for very special features. This app has nothing to help someone who is attempting to learn speed reading if you want it to be free. The most that I could get out of this app is an increased understanding of word searches which was not what I was trying to accomplish when downloading this app.

$14 a month for such a simple app is insane. I’d gladly spend maybe $5 one time or something, but there’s no way I’m going willing to subscribe monthly for this.

Been using the app for years. But after downloading 2.0 - quite disappointed. Very buggy and slow, both iPad and iPhone. 15seconds to wait for an exercise to open... or an exercise over in 1/3 of the time. Hope it all gets resolved asap. Thanks

Requires a monthly subscription fee to do anything past the first two exercises. I downloaded this app when it was featured as free for the day instead of $2.99. They apparently changed it to now be a subscription app so listing it as free was misleading. I absolutely loathe apps that make you pay every single month for eternity. Deleted.

Very bad, that you came back and made this app cost 10$ each month for a set of exercises which are NOT UNIQUE! Even one star is too much for your app!

While it says “Free” for a limited time but it is asking for a paid subscription. Looks like I am in a guest status. What kind of confusing stuff is this? Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application.

I’ve actually taught speed reading and I appreciate the potential of an app that helps with screen speed reading, which is different than techniques for printed word. However, I have dyscalculia, which is like dyslexia but for numbers, and I question the veracity of basing much of your score off of finding numbers among numbers, which I would argue is an unrealistic skill to need in almost any field. Yes, numbers are important, but finding them in a sea of other numbers is not a skill I’ve ever needed, and doesn’t seem relevant to the goal of reading text on screens faster and more effectively. Otherwise, a useful app. UPDATE: I stand corrected! I’ve noticed a huge difference in how quickly I perceive numbers and how quickly I read! I’m so impressed, I can’t recommend this app enough.

I love this app. In one week I’ve nearly doubled my reading speed AND, at the same time, am comprehending more of what I read. The exercises are well designed and the power reading feature where I can practice my speed with copied text is also useful. My only concern is that it’s been 3 years since the last update. I hope that either this current version will continue to work on future versions of iOS, or that the developers will update when needed. A+, well worth the $3.
