Reviews: What People Think About Spreeder: Speed Reading E-Reader and Trainer

Rating: 4/5
While there are some things I would change, Spreeder is the best speed reading app I have tried - and I have tried many. Its clean design and interface are excellent. I also enjoy the straightforward and easy customization (i.e. font, size, speed, number of words, etc). Prior to three days ago, my only criticism would have been in the form of a request: please allow users to save their customized settings (i.e. font, letter size, speed, number of words, etc). However, that minor criticism has been overshadowed by a much bigger problem. I haven’t been able to log in for the past three days. I receive an error message that simply says “Error Occurred: Something’s not right. Please try again later.” Well, now it is three days later, and it is still not working. At this point, I have not had any response to my customer service inquiry. I sincerely hope this bug can be fixed soon as a truly enjoy using this app.
Notwithstanding the login issue, I will provisionally give a four-star rating based upon the underlying merit of the app -when functioning properly. However, if I do not receive a helpful response from customer support within a reasonable amount of time, I will definitely reconsider the rating. On the flip side, if the app developers fix the issue, and add the ability to customize user settings, then this app is definitely the best speed reading app in iOS and deserving of a five-star rating.

This app is definitely helping improve my reading speed. The drills that it offers are very helpful and the ability to import all of my books and other files is great! The only thing holding me back from giving five stars at this time is a lack of app wide dark mode (unless i’ve just missed it). Staring at a bright screen while reading or doing drills is tiring on the eyes. There is the ability to make the reading screen background black with white text, but there is still a bright border surrounding it, and while training a white screen pops up between sessions that becomes even more straining when my eyes have become used to the dark area. If a dark mode was incorporated I would, at the moment, believe this to be a five star app. It is already worth the price.

I love the concept of this app - it takes away the physically limitation of moving my eyes to chase down words.
The app can input sources easily from URL or text documents and there is a library of around 27k books to search from. However, here comes the negatives:
There are no search perimeters. It prompts you to start typing and you have to guess what books will show up. The developer needs to improve on search results.
The app is also very slow to respond, ironically, and sort of throws me off my game when I'm in a fast kind of mood. But once you're starting the text and you don't need to switch screens it is find.
I wish the ability to increase and decrease reading speed (like on the demo on the website) was able more easily accessible while reading. The arrows that I thought would do it on the bottom instead just move the words once at a time - which if you're reading at 800wpm is not very helpful at all. Having the arrows change the speed seems more intuitive to me.
Those are my chief complaints. One suggestion I could recommend would be the ability to change the text color and background color. A white background can be more straining than a muted yellow, for instance. But the ability to have people change it to their preference would be cool.
I thought this app cost money though! And I was surprised to see it was free. On the website I was expecting to pay around $35.! It looks like the desktop apps seem to be more polished...
