Speed Reading App: Wordex

The only way to purchase a book is through a website that’s in a different t language other than English and I have no idea how to purchase one. You have to have a book downloaded onto your phone if you want to use the app without purchasing a book. I thought I couldn’t purchase a book but cannot so I wasted my money.

This app is a decent speed reading app. You can adjust the chunk length, and there’s a cool “focus” option. But there’s some serious issues too. Half your books won’t be able to be “formatted for speed reading” requiring you to convert to it to another format before it works. Also the timer function is pretty broken, and despite the apps claims of showing your reading stats it just tells you how many days it took you to read a book which is math I can easily do myself. Personally I was hoping for an average wpm. I could live with these flaws if the app costed less, but after an undefined amount of time you get hit with a paywall of $5 per month or $16 per year. The yearly price is okay-ish, it’s cheaper than it’s competitors, but i’m not convinced this app will still exist or be updated at all in a year. All in all, Outread is the same price monthly, but it’s infinitely better. And it’s like $4 more per year if you do the yearly plan, but again, it doesn’t have as many issues and it comes with stuff like exercises to improve your speed reading, and the option to speed read like you would a physical book, going across the page.

I got it and will start devouring books!
