Customer Reviews
Useable, but needs work
I have been a fan of Spritz since the moment I learned about it. I waited patiently for an app to come around, and here it finally is! This app is great- it does what it is supposed to, and I enjoy reading with it. It really does need some improvement though. For one, I have to reset my reading speed every time I open the app. The app doesn't sync on all devices, so I have to find my place if I switch from device to device. This is really annoying. I wish that it had some of the same features as the Kindle app- like the hamburger menu that allows you to see the table of contents easily. And the "sync to furthest page" button. I also have to download the books separately on each device. This is time consuming and annoying. There are other small features I'd like to see added, but these are the major ones.
All in all, this app works and I like it, but am looking forward to improvements from the Spritz developers in the future!
Potentially the best speed reading app out there but a bit buggy
This app has a really cool technology where a small cursor helps you track your eye along the text. it works better for me than ANY other speed reading method. I wish it were possible to turn off the Spritz box and just use the eye tracker. Unfortunately the app is quite buggy and the developer does not seem to respond to support queries.
The best
So far after a long search of reading apps this one has been the best.
