Frustrating

I found the app very frustrating. I liked the idea so I downloaded it. It constantly moves while you are trying to read. You have to hold the screen to pause and can’t remove your finger. One slight slip and you’re forward or back as a tap on the right or left is like a page turn. I couldn’t figure out how to permanently pause it so that I could talk to my wife. After losing my place five times on my first try, I decided to write this review!

Update: After the developers response I redownloaded this app and tried the text reader setting and it worked like I wanted it to. It was a bit tricky to find as I looked for it before starting a book. Afterwards I remembered seeing it before, but the title made me think that a robotic voice was going to start reading it to me. It makes sense now and I’m testing the app out further. I’m an Audible consumer and purchase lots of books. I also take full advantage of their return policy as they only offer a very limited sample of the book before purchasing and they have no rating system in place. I will not pay good money to listen to someone cursing in a book. I can get that at work for free!

Developer Response ,

Hi, bannedbum, I'm sorry for the frustration caused, perhaps you would prefer our read or audio mode? Have you given either of those a try? With our read mode, you can go at your own pace and with audio, you can slow the speech according to your own preference, you can also hit a pause button. Let me know what you think? You can email me at support@uptime.app or contact me via the in-app chat. Thanks

Great for readers and learners

I love love this app. I enjoy reading, and this gives me the opportunity to learn insights from books I have been dying to read and insights from books I might not have picked up!! I love learning little tidbits of information in 5 minutes. I also noticed that when I picked up my phone this morning, I opened this app and not my usual Facebook, TikTok, etc. This app is a much better way to start my days. Thank you to the developers and everyone involved in this app!

Developer Response ,

We're so glad to hear you're starting your day with Uptime, and thank you for such a lovely review and rating 😊
