The #1 speed-reading technology on earth. (And maybe even Mars.) From best-selling novels to how-to books to self-improvement to business reports and more, our proven software guides—and trains—your eyes to read at a rapidly accelerated rate. READ FASTER BY 2-3X, SUPER HUMAN STYLE Set your reading speed from 10-4,000 words per minute, and keep challenging your own time. With a couple of taps, the app speeds up, and you can always control how fast you go. Most people are shocked at how efficient they are while still processing and retaining information! (You can read normal, too, just in case.) CUSTOMIZABLE EVERYTHING (EVEN THAT) From designer color schemes to fonts; margins to interface, the app bends to your will with every preference, making this the perfect “skin” for you to read all of your books on, no matter how fast or slow. TOUCH FREE AUTO PILOT (AKA FLASH LIGHTNING MODE) With Guided Reading Technology, you set the speed and the pages turn for you. And the best part? The gains you make in-app carry over to regular, un-guided reading.Throw in a butler and some fancy cheese and you might just be set for life. (Or at least have a pretty sharp advantage over all of mankind.) BONUS ACCESS: 2 MILLION BOOKS, FOR FREE! Books are our world—and we’ve got an entire family of apps dedicated to book lovers. That means we can also bring you all sorts of access to free titles that other speed reading apps can’t. Hip, hip, hooray! WHAT THEY SAY “[QuickReader] brings a much-needed breath of fresh air to the world of speed reading apps." — ReadWriteWeb "QuickReader is a speed-reading tool that can produce remarkable results. I was shocked by the rate at which my speed improved. [...] By far the most fascinating application I've reviewed in a while." 4.5 stars, MAGICAL - 148Apps

The title says is all because you have thousands of free books that you can read and you can control the speed of the focus box of words. It has improve my speed reading in just one day that I think that every school and every professional work place should have this app installed in their computer for learning and taking care of daily tasks of reading the emails or project requirements. Five dollars is nothing for what you will get inside this app: thousands of free books and speed reading app.

The app has a lot of promise. I want believe that this app will improve my reading time but there is one dilemma. I have no clue how to download the books I want on the app. For example, I want a pdf of a book I found online. So I email it to myself. The problem is that when I try to open it in the QuickReader app, their app doesn’t show up as an option. iBooks shows up as an option. Nook shows up as an option. Even a scanner app that rarely use shows up as an option. But where the heck is QuickReader? There is no easy way to download your books using your mobile phone. I tried using the directions that the guide laid out for me. I went through the steps but still nothing. I don’t want to read some ancient texts provided for me for free in the catalogs. I want to read new best sellers. How can I do that if I can’t even get it on the app in the first place?

You can import DRM-free EPUB files using iTunes File Sharing. The app doesn't directly support PDFs, but you can convert PDFs to EPUBs using apps like Calibre. Unfortunately, you cannot read purchased books in the app, as they are locked with DRM to deter piracy.

The latest version of QR has become much less stable than previous. It crashes almost every time I try to download a book. It may be due to my using an older tablet (iOS 9.3) but it is borderline unusable. I can think of at least two things this app needs. I download books or even stories that are not always published in one piece. When an update comes out I have to delete the book from the Quick Reader library and then reimport it with the update. I suppose that would be tolerable but QR doesn't always recognize the additional chapter(s). So, an option to overwrite an existing book in the library with an updated version would be better. Additionally, books I've imported do not always show up in the library.The other nice to have is a desktop version.All that said it is the best ePub reader I've tried.

I've had this for many years now and used it off and on. I'd say they have really put some good work into updating the app and because of this I've decided to give it a review. The copy past options and WPM are all great options along with the many other settings the developer has added. Thank you all for creating a great app and including a guide. It would also be great to ask for a guide on how most people will see improvements if they use the app regularly. This may help boost usage and sales. All the best.
