ReadMe! (BeeLine & Focus)

If only if it displayed spritz reader in chunks of words, single words are too fast rather use my peripheral vision.

Had this app forever, can’t figure out how to load books. Tried several ways. Time to look for other similar apps. Bummer

I contacted support, and received confirmation that they knew about this issue: your book does not continue at the same spot of you close the book and come back, or if you close the app and come back. It seems absolutely unforgivable that a reading app cannot continue on the page I left off on. It has been year after year and they have still not fixed this issue.

I’ve had ReadMe! for years - since before you had to pay for it. It’s still just a basic reading app. I got it because I wanted to try Spritz - which itself has issues. Even after years of availability, the library STILL cannot be sorted. If you are an avid reader as I am, you have thousands of books. Imagine trying to find a particular book. Now imagine remembering the book but not remembering the author’s name or the book title. You have to sort through thousands of titles until you maybe see something that reminds which book you’re thinking of. The developer should have provided us with sorting capability YEARS ago - sort by title, sort by author, sort by category.... and that’s another issue. There is no way to categorize your books. The bookshelf should have been able to have categories assigned - fiction, non-fiction, young adult fiction, children’s fiction (where the books I write listed), science fiction, non-fiction biographies, non-fiction autobiographies, history - you get the picture. This is still just a basic app with limited capability. At least Apple’s iBooks gives you the ability to create categories to put your books under. Perhaps the developers should look at iBooks and Marvin for examples of what a reader should be able to do....

I’ve tried them all, and ReadMe! gets it right! Terrific library management and four different modes of reading make this well suited for me - traditional, focus, BeeLine, and Spritz all in one app.

I was a premium user before. I downloaded the app again today. The technology is superb, but the UI and overall design need a major update. It feels like using apps from the early days of iOS. Navigating and usage feel slow.

I had initial issues, but they were fixed and the developers responded quickly.

Needs updates.

Seems good but I never made it past evaluation. I signed up for trial with payment commitment, but can’t seem to log in. Evaluation length was super short, not even one chapter of Alice in Wonderland.

Requires monthly fee, an internet connection (so useless for a flight), and the UI is buggy and slow. Right now there are no good Spritz readers out there including this one. The Litz Reader (no longer in the App Store) was free but also required an internet connection but at least it works and is robust enough to handle multiple formats.
