Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

This update brings improvements to reliability and everyday use. • More reliable auto-lock When you use up the time you earned from reading, your selected apps now re-lock automatically—even if ReadTime isn't open. Locking is based on the time you actually spend in those apps, so it's easier to avoid overdoing it. • No more duplicate books Books already on your shelf now show as "In your library," so you won't accidentally add the same book twice. • Smoother barcode adding Tap "Done" after scanning to jump right back home, with your newly added book front and center. • Various bug fixes and stability improvements. Thank you for using ReadTime. We'd love to hear your feedback!
