Reviews:
You'll be amazed!  By: ___jennifer___ - Oct 29, 2009 Version: 1.0 I tried the included speed test and clocked in at 583 words. Pretty respectable, I thought. Then I turned on the guides, tweaked them to my preferences, and in no time was reading nearly 25% faster and I am still picking up speed - with good comprehension and retention. The app comes with some great classic literature for you to brush up on. Try it and you'll wish all your correspondence and reading came with QuickReader guides!
Help you learn to read faster  By: iqadan - Oct 21, 2009 Version: 1.0 I have been playing with quickreader over the weekend and I have to admit I am very impressed. It's amazing what you can customize, there isn't an e-reader app exists today on the app store that let's you customize as much as this app does, which makes the QuickReader a full featured e-reader in additions to being speedreader.You want bigger font, you can customize that, you want different font type, you can change that also. You want to change the colors, you can either choose from many built-in themes or you can customize one your self.In additions to that, this app can help you read faster over time. Imagine being able to read faster over time. Here is how I do it my self: First, I will take a speed reading test to see where i am at: then I will adjust the guided reading speed to be slightly above that --- then I will increase this over time. So this app has all what you need to improve your speed reading ability.It's definitely worth the $9.99 price.
A good purchase.  By: AnaZondo - Oct 18, 2009 Version: 1.0 I downloaded and started using this product today and I must say, I'm impressed. This product is easy to navigate and easy to adjust to my habits. For leisure, I'm an avid reader and for work required to read massive amounts with little time... So, I will be using this product for both, personal and training. As an old school reader, I’m finicky about moving from paper to electronic but the transition is made easier by the elegance and ease of the product. Thanks guys.
What a great idea!  By: Herbert68 - Oct 17, 2009 Version: 1.0 This app is amazingly effective! I had not heard about speed reading before, but by simply trying Quick-Reader I could see the benefit right away. As a musician I immediately understood the concept: it's like a metronome for reading, it keeps me on track and keeps me focused. It's necessary for me to read many texts for my work. The Quick-Reader app allows me to adjust the formatting of the text to my liking with no distraction to my attention. The meter helps me attain a rhythm in reading I had not experienced before, and I not only achieved a momentum in reading more text but also in better retaining the provided information. Truthfully, I find this app very useful for work-related reading, but I still prefer to ponder recreational books at my own leasure.
Effortless learning!  By: Todd H. - Nov 13, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 QuickReader with it's elegant UI gives you just what you need to improve your reading speed while enjoying classic texts included with the app. Perfectly suited for the iPhone, the app has only the required information and interfaces--nothing more--to make it simple to navigate. Using the guided reading exercises, you'll learn to re-train your eyes about how to scan text and improve your reading speed with no impact to accuracy. The app is so easy, that you won't even realize just how much you've benefited until you attempt some of your regular reading and find that you are reading at a signficantly faster pace. I'm going to continue with the exercises to see just how much faster I can go without losing accuracy!
What I didn't realize I was looking for.  By: Thepositiveone - Nov 1, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 Perfect! Perfect! Perfection!I've doubled my reading speed in about a week and a half. More importantly, I've found a focus that I hadn't realized I was lacking. I was a little disappointed when two days after I bought the app, it dropped half price for an introductory price. However, it's worth much more than the full price anyways.I would like to know if anyone else has experienced a high from this. I get this speed buzz, like an energy drink high without the drop. My focus is astounding. It's like my mind is clicking, to a metronome or something to that effect. I feel happier after practicing. My trouble shooting skills click as well.Well, in any effect, hopfully it's addicting. Is there any chance of adding new books in the future? Also, is there a chance that the WPM will increase from 2000 in the future?

Beautiful, easy to use app is quite helpful too.  By: Sam Grover - Nov 24, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 This app has a beautiful interface and is a delight to use. It has improved my reading speed and continues to go so.I've known for a while that I'm a not a very fast reader. I say it to my friends all the time. I wanted to do something about it but didn't want to invest a lot of time into it. Now with QuickReader I can spend short amounts if idle/commute times and it benefits my speed without having to set aside a chunk of time.
QuickReader Delivers!  By: Marcus97321 - Nov 15, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 QuickReader is a well-designed application that works! It trains readers to read more quickly and with greater comprehension. The UI is clean, and use is intuitive. A variety of interesting books are provided for the reading speed tests and practice readings. After a week with the application I tested at over 600 words/minute. I'm glad to have QuickReader on my iPhone, it's the one application I use during down time (typically waiting on lines) that actually provides a tangible benefit. It is well worth the price, and I highly recommend it.
5 stars! Great program!  By: nm3lin - Nov 15, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 I don't usually bother with reviews, but this software is out-standing! I've always head trouble with reading too slowly, and speedreading systems I've tried before had a lot of shortcomings. This program is enjoyable, challenging, and effective. The included books also make you feel like your not just practicing a technique, you can actually read something enjoyable! One feature i would love to see - make it possible to import your own ebooks - that would make this the most useful ebooks reader ever made! Even without that feature this program is worth much more than the cost.

Great app  By: Caldwellone - Nov 10, 2009 Version: 1.0.1 I have dabbled with speed reading for a few years now. Most of the techniques I came across are mentioned here but they could be explained in a bit more detail in the tutorial. With practice, this app could easily double your reading speed in a short time(a few hours a week I would say). I would give it 5 stars if I could copy/paste articles into it. Most of my reading is blogs/online news and it would be great if I could use my own material to practice with.
Best Speed-Reading Software Available (should be ported to the Mac)  By: Xiaopangzi - 7-Nov-2009 Version: 1.0.1 QuickReader is the only worthwhile speed-reading software currently available on the App Store, other than Read Demon, which I admittedly have not purchased since it does not appear to have a five-word-segment option in its settings, as four- to six-word segments seems to be the most comfortable and comprehendible chunk of information for me while reading. QuickReader is the most Mac-like speed-reading software that I’ve ever discovered, other than iVerbum’s iSpeedRead, of which an iPhone version has not yet been (may never be) created. They both put the venerable AceReader Pro to shame and don’t suffer from the typical Java code ugliness or bugginess that is found in other un-Mac-like speed-reading software. I urge Inkstone to port this to the Mac (probably using the same development software used for this version), and I’d be happy to pay four times this introductory price for a Mac version, as the frequent page turning on this iPhone is dizzying, especially at my target 600 wpm. My main complaints about this current version of QuickReader are as follows: • I’d either like access to all of the Gutenberg library or would like to import my own RTF ebooks from my Mac with their nice curly (smart) quotes and em-dashes—or preferably both of these possibilities. • I’d like the Guide Stops settings for landscape and normal mode to be differentiated, so that I could set two stops for normal orientation and three stops for landscape orientation, since I do rotate the iPhone from time to time during a reading session and don’t want to repeatedly change the settings manually.
