| 2024-10-25 |  | | It works but PLEASE stop charging monthly fees for these ADHD apps. It's always like this. Let us pay £10 and own it forever everything is a subscription these days and it leaves us priced out of things that could REALLY help. It's cruel. |
| 2024-09-23 |  | | Almost worthless. This app crashes and or gets stuck on the loading page way more frequently than is bareable. It won't process web links either like it's supposed to. Every single web linked I've simply closes the app. It actually worked when it was free, no it's trash. |
| 2024-08-14 |  | | DON'T DO IT - problem is still happening! I loved the idea of this app and it initially worked very well for my adhd... UNTIL I try to convert a web page after a couple of months into an annual subscription, but I am denied? Some how I used my allowance of unlimited web pages by not using the service for at least a month? I wish I hadn't subscribe for a year, I won't get my money back for the 8 months I have left. It's a great idea but not working. And no access to support on there web site. |
| 2024-08-04 |  | | I thought this was the most brilliant idea and it's very helpful. I had not used this more than once maybe twice though because I feel that when I need it is when I'm reading large chunks. It said that I've reached my limit for this action. So I used this app twice and they want me to pay which is understandable but at the same time if you're really trying to help disabled people you shouldn't be charging so much. I Would be happy to pay a one-time fee. |
| 2024-08-02 |  | | Can't even test it properly. I have no idea if this app would be helpful for my reading and writing difficulties because you can only use 99 percent of the features if you pay for it first. No trial period, no limited upload, I can't even find a free for use example of it beyond the advertised page. And the web one crashed as said I used up the daily limit as soon as it opened . I guess they just want you to pay and hope it works. |
| 2024-07-17 |  | | Ridiculous, doesn't do what it says. I have downloaded the app for the first time, because I wanted some help with reading a long, complicated article, and I've heard about how this form of text is helpful for neurodiverse people. I put in the web address and it tells me "You have reached the limit for this action for the current period." - it's literally the first time I have tried doing it, so... How? I even subscribed in case this was needed for web conversion, same result. Waste of time. |
| 2024-04-05 |  | | Terribly Designed app. First off, it never works when you share a link from a webpage unless you try again. Looked like you have to open bionic reading first and then share to it for it to work. Then even if it will process the link you have to hit another option in order to proceed. And in the past several attempts, it only showed a link to the article instead of converting the text to the bionic format. The app has a paid/subscription version too... |
| 2024-03-07 |  | | This app WAS useful but now requires a pretty hefty subscription, which no, nobody needs. This spin BR puts in their copy-paste response to negative reviews makes no sense, and I definitely wasn't asked. Spend the 2 minutes it takes to find this functionality elsewhere. The subscription doesn't seem to work in many cases (read other reviews), resulting in being given a run around and getting up sold again out of frustration, which ADHD is more prone to. Avoid this app and it's "services." |
| 2023-12-14 |  | | This app is just too expensive for what it is. Just like Minimalist Phone, the concept is amazing for helping people with ADHD focus, but who can spare $100+ a year for this kind of thing? I realize developers and businesses need to be profitable, but this is just too much for me or anyone else I know. I can't even give an honest review of the app, because I ran out of "freemium" text conversion almost immediately. |
| 2023-11-24 |  | | This app used to be free and they didn't charge any subscription or fee to convert the books. Of course since it got popular, they had to enact a service/subscription fee cause they saw greed in their eyes. It's actually kinda disappointing, don't upload something saying it's free at first with no word count then change it and act like it's not a big deal. It's rather upsetting, cause I used it with no problems less than 6 months ago. Sad excuse for a company, no morals to stick too |
