| 2024-04-05 |  | | Edit: many years later, after updating this app it appears I do have access to exercises I had before. Thanks! I enjoyed the app. Happily paid for it (maybe at the time I was an actual "paid premium user", but then all of a sudden the app switched its pricing model to subscription based. If the app had been like this before maybe I would've considered, but now thus sudden bait and switch is awfully distasteful. I'm going to look for another app, who knows I might even buy their subscription. |
| 2023-12-26 |  | | I bought this app a long time ago and after a recent update my full user status disappeared, and now I'd have to re-purchase the premium package. Means: exercises and features I already bought, now require me to buy them again. The prices for "premium" (means access to all exercises) are absurdly expensive. This app was quite bad in the past, and it took the author ages to improve simple flaws. Now, it doesn't look any better, there were minor changes done, and they charge gold in kgs for it! |
| 2022-12-19 |  | | The free version of the app use to let you do 8 exercise in unit 1. Then the next day you move on to unit 2. It was one of the top Speed reading App on Google play on how user friendly the program was. Not to mention account synchronization to use on multiple devices. I would do an 1-8 exercise for the day to complete 1 day unit. Now you can't continue until you pay for premium. All the 15 exercises are locked for premium users except 2. Not really worth it anymore and is disappointing. |
| 2022-10-07 |  | | Ive been using it for about 3 weeks and its been amazing. My reading speed has improved noticibly. I also notice I can type significantly faster as well. I also scan the room and my computer desktop for objects more efficiently. Its improved all language processing for me. Ive improved in ways I previously thought impossible. I wish I had this when I was a kid. I initially got it for my 9 year old daughter to learn to speed read but its been a huge benefit for me as well. |
| 2022-09-16 |  | | I bought this app in 2014. It was left to its fate without updating for a long time. Updated in June 2022 and converted to a monthly subscription. I sent an email and they provided to me same privileges. Thanks for fast response. |
| 2022-07-21 |  | | The Reading Trainer is great! I have been using it for years. It helps to succeed in speed reading, developing all the processes involved in it (memory, attention, peripheral vision, etc.). But you need to use it regularly. Thanks for the app! |
| 2022-07-21 |  | | I emailed support and never received a response. Like many, you pay for a service, the service changes but I guess they expect me to pay for a service a paid for previously. I'll download another app and pay for it before I pay for this one again being as support is not as supportive as they should be. Update: about a week or two later, they've respond to my email and fixed my account |
| 2022-07-02 |  | | This app is very useful, user friendly, have alot of languages. I recommend this app to every body who have problems with slow reading. EDIT 2 July 2022: After the update, as was said I contacted them through feedback to get my unlimited courses, on 26th of June. Now it's 2 July. No answer yet. Very disappointed. I loved this app. |
| 2022-06-18 |  | | The app seems really great and useful, but I had to uninstall it right away after seeing how much the subscription costs. I wouldn't mind paying for great apps like this (one time or subscription), but the price isn't exactly ideal for students like me. I'd just probably go back to this app one day. Still, thanks for developing a great app! |
| 2022-03-24 |  | | Sticking to the training really works. I've noticed in my ability to recall numbers and get through articles since my first two attempt at finishing the whole program a few years ago, and now my back to try to get to the master level . Definitely one of the best money investments I've ever made and continues to be one of my best time investments |
