I get that it's faster to read using this method but somehow to me it ends up sounding like a robotic inner monologue while I'm reading it. Maybe it's just practice but the flow of reading is lost to me.

Hello @rueter I've purchased the Pro version but I see that the styles applied on the phone doesn't apply to the apple watch making the watch app useless (that was what I was most interested in). The text is very small and there is no letter highlight. How can I fix that? Or how can I get a refund? Thanks

Even with the IAP the app can’t get the text from 9/10 pages via the share sheet, even Apple News, as advertised. Always stuck at Loading...

I wish this worked, but every time I try this technique, I fail to remember most of what I "read". That, plus the "robot" inner monologul like someone else mentioned, plus the fact that I have to think of when I'm about to blink and stop the app, which means I'll get distracted. Overall feels forced unfortunately.

What's new in this update?

Super intrigued by the idea of using this on the watch. Has anyone given it a try?

It is working well, I like that thinking about something else while reading is much harder, since there comes one word after the other, and I don't want to miss one, of course. The (browser) extension is very important for the user experience of this app, since nobody wants to copy long texts manually. The problem was, the articles I've sent to the app via the extension (Pro version) all began with the site's privacy policy. Maybe you can find a solution for that. The UI is radical, pure black, pure white. It's not friendly, maybe some other dark colors make the app more appealing. Also, I would increase the size of the text field a bit, and I would like to select single words by tapping on them in addition to just skipping. The onboarding was poor, I didn't even understand it was one before the simulation has ended. I was like why do the buttons don't work?! I didn't test on Apple Watch yet, I can imagine how cool the app is on it.

Pros:

Brilliant approach

Cons:

Confusing onboarding

Amazing Idea, I will be using it daily.

Any possibility for Android?

@avneet_arora @rueter what's considered enough? Do you have a number?

@avneet_arora @rueter Starting with a more cross platform stack would've made making apps for both platforms smoother.

This is really nice. Is there an alternative for android? or when will it be released for android?
Ugur Y
That's an innovative idea. I'll give it a shot! ツ

How can you build this technology when there’s a patent-pending on this by Spritz?

Great product, However... I cannot get it to open an epub without killing the app. Are there some file size limits or issues with images that I should be aware of. IOS 12.2 iPhone XS
Jason Cooper

Currently crashes when opening an ePub from DROPBOX. Doesn’t “open in” when exporting an ePub from files or Dropbox on iPhone xsmax.

Pros:

Unsure, I can’t use it.

Cons:

Currently crashes when opening an ePub.

Everytime when a "-" or a "—" in comination with a "," or a ";" appears on the same section, the autoplay stops. Is this maybe a bug?

Hi Steven The app doesn’t resize properly on my ipad while using multitask or changing the screen orientation.

Hi Steven is it possible to sync the reading list by using icloud? so i can continue reading on my iphone/ipad

I cannot load any of my books from the Books App on my iPhone into Spdr. Whenever I try, only a short synopsis of the title appears instead of any actual text from the book itself. Please tell me how to import a book into Spdr other than by photographing every single page, which is ridiculous.

I cannot get this app to work on my iPad. No books will open
