Excellent. I notice setting BG to black, Color to dark,dark green, and Focus to very-light, saturated green is most readable for me (the eyes are most sensitive to green light). The way this app carries the highlighted region across is more natural than the "single-word" approach because the former closely resembles actual reading. Also, how it pulses as it scrolls across the horizontal forces the eyes to stutter, microsaccades strongly modulate neurons in the primary areas of the visual cortex.
Nice app with different configurations. The only issue is a bug occurring when trying to look at previous text while the current text is on "play", however the application can work just fine if you avoid to rewind while automatically advancing.
This is one of the best reading app I've downloaded so far, and I have nine of them. Three stars because it doesn't flow at the end of the line. It would end in the middle line without finishing the rest of the sentences down the line and would make the middle line the starting point.
Absolutely tremendous app, much better than single word speed reading apps, allows the reader to bring the peripheral words in quickly. Only read one article so far but felt obligated to write a review! Can't wait to tell people about this!!
Best reader I've used for speed reading and I'vetried a lot!! Tweak settings to get long enough lines and let it highlight and auto scroll and increase your reading speed. I was comfortably reading up to 700wpm within 1st hour of use. Thank you!
Highly rated productivity app. It makes one focus on reading. You can speed up to to quickly skim or slow down to assimilate complex text. Thanks guys for saving the world, a book at a time.
I wish I had known about this sooner. I have trouble focusing on text on screen and this app makes it way easier. Very simple app, you can alter the speed and the colors of the text etc.
Very difficult to find files. I tried to adjust the reading speed per minute but it always read the same speed, it was way to slow, and I am not a fast reader.
Lovely reader which allows me to read by just seeing a single line in the centre of a black screen I enjoy the fact that the reader opens web pages which contain the text of a book.....once you have shared the web page address with comfort reader the reader will open the book.....you can then disconnect from the web & continue reading I love that you can Alter the speed and amount of characters per line Comfort reader is now my number one reading method. Its about visual quality for me Thx
Helps me read faster. Helps me train to read more quickly in general. I prefer this method of flowing over of the text as opposed to the kindle word runner which insists on showing you one word at a time.
This app actually lets you speed read group of words, unlike most speed reading app which stick to single words. The former is better for reading improvement.
It truly is a comfort reading the app! Truly underrated! Can open big file pdfs without crashing (unlike other speed reader apps)! It has great potential! Thank you so much! I hope this app will remain satisfactory in the future as it is today!
App is stuck at 175 words per minute. Changes to the speed setting revert to the default value of 175 after exiting the menu.
Please remove the sweeping effect. Also, prefer showing just a single line. Awesome though!
Very Usefull app, just learn where to add pdf from, Suggestion for users, its in sdcard option just remember this when u r adding another pdf.
I'd love it if it could be; set to 1 line not 3 faster play and pause buttons were bigger
This app is easy to use and allows me to open pdf books to read.
Just digging into it. Hoping to customize it more.
Clipboard support is confusing, and doesn't even work
Could not even find a way to open a book. Weird interface.
Doesn't work, non descript "error" whenever I try to read anything
I enjoy this app. I would enjoy knowing where I am in the text of the reading.
itsna good app it helps you read quickly and easily
I love this app. Does what I want better than any paid app I can find.
Everything I need to speed read.
Cool app for speed reading
Nothing comfortable about this... Can't even find a book on my device.
This is a great app for reading! Not only that, while you are reading (as long as you keep the speed just above your "comfort" level) you're actually being trained to rely more on your sight for picking up words than on persistant subvocalization, which after a while, seems to fall into the background!!! This for me works better than the old tachistoscopic approach of most auto readers out there. This app Developer is really on to something here!
