This app has changed my life, I enjoy reading but I was always painfully slow and would get distracted after a few minutes. Now I'm spending hours effortlessly reading, flying through all these books I've been meaning to get to. Very easy to use, nice clean layout, it's great that it pauses for punctuation and you can easily scroll back and forth through the sentences. Spritz doesn't have these features, which it makes it hard to understand the meaning of the words without their context.

the app doesn't load files from the internal drive. there isnt an option to select files to load from folders. It just shows the storage location which can't be selected, and no keyboard comes up to manualy select a file from a folder. Copy and paste works, but it is cumbersome to highlight and copy an entire book. Please fix this issue, and I will amend my rating.

Easily the best speed reading app out there. It has transformed my reading experience. Hopefully support will be added for the new Amazon kfx format bcos the word runner app in Kindle isn't anywhere near as good. Also, if there were a plug-in for web browsers that would be brilliant too.
