Just Incredible, Thank You
I was instantly sold on this app/tool when I completed the introduction tutorial. This app is genius in my opinion. I was reading lightning fast, 300 words a minute and still retaining the information. This is so darn cool. Thank you for this brilliant application but also, most especially for selling this app ethically with a one-time purchase price and no subscription garbage. I cannot tell you how grateful and thankful that I am to you for being a rad developer and not ruining your app with a subscription. I'm always more inclined to buy any application or video game if there is no subscription plan attached to them. So, again, I commend you and thank you for being an upstanding developer and for the amazing work that I believe you did with this groundbreaking app. Oh, and also, I just love that, this app, will allow me to import .epub book files. That makes this app even more worth the asking price in my opinion. I have tons of public domain .epub books that I've been meaning to tackle for forever now and I think using this app will be the absolute best and most efficient way to read them all. So, thank you for that awesome option as well, I'm so excited to finally read Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Agatha Christie, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Bram Stoker and so many more with this program 👏🏻😁👍🏻. Thank you sincerely for this program and the ethical way you chose to sell it. Developers like you are a rare breed today in my opinion.

This app is surprisingly helpful
I was doubtful at first about whether this app would help me but I’ve realized that it does. It’s really easy to set up and control and I’ve been happy with the free trail so far :). If you have trouble focusing on reading or are really slow I HIGHLY recommend that you get his app. I’ve been reading very boring books, most recently about Human Rights :/ , I tried out the camera mode and it really helped! Developer Recommendation: I looked at other apps such as Focus. One interesting feature they have are two lines on going across the screen which helps you focus. Another thing they have is they make one of the letters in the word red so you can focus on that. I think it would be cool if you made this a toggle feature. Another idea I have is something that I don’t expect you to do but it may help people remember things. Neuroscience found that when you take information from two senses you are more likely to remember it later on. This is why it’s helpful to read something out loud. Using that logic it may be really cool if there was a read along versions. Keep up the good work.

Fixed
Update: After the recent update it has worked just fine! Got the app a while ago and have enjoyed it enough to get the premium version. App on my phone works fine but the iPad version crashes by pushing most any button. I have reinstalled the app multiple times and reset the iPad, which is up to date. Even with the premium version it still says I cannot perform functions like using the share button to send an article straight to the app. I also couldn't find any link to contact customer support of any kind. Would really like the app if it were to actually work on the device I would like to use it on.
