WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"QuickReader is a speed-reading tool that can produce remarkable results. I was shocked by the rate at which my speed improved. [...] By far the most fascinating application I've reviewed in a while." 4.5 stars, MAGICAL - 148Apps (http://www.148apps.com/reviews/quickreader/)
"What I noticed is that the full blown PC applications that cost WAY more than $4.99 don’t even come close to the functionality of QuickReader. [...] I love QuickReader so much that I deleted all my games so it was my only “go to” app for recreation." 4.5 stars - AppAdvice (http://bit.ly/7Bw87o)

Customer Reviews
Handy Tool to Pick Up the Pace
I read a ton off the web, so anything to get an edge on information consumption is good for me. This application has the customization options needed to work on training up my ability to read and understand text quickly.
I've also read two books on the Kindle iPhone app and was pleased to see the selection of classic works in there. If I were to add something, it would be to be able to have my most recently read books automatically moved ot the top of the library for quicker reference.
Been look for an app like this
Really great! I was wondering when an app like this would come to the app store!! Good selection of titles. I hope to be able to add my own books to this, or perhaps get an increase in book selection? Looking forward to future updates and getting some practice reading faster!!!
Simply a great app
This is an awesome app! I'm impressed and actually excited! I think if I put enough time in, I can finally learn to read faster. This is exactly the sort of thing I needed to get past the problems I keep having every time I try (three times). Highly recommended!
