Ratings and Reviews
Allow to scroll in the highlighting mode
Love the app. Couple of suggestions:
1. I think it will be great if you allow to scroll while reading in highlight mode. Currently when it reaches the end of the screen it scrolls all the way to the top automatically. When you are reading at a higher speed it is very difficult shift your eyes up really quick. I think it will be solved if you allow manual scrolling so that users can adjust the scroll position that is best suited for them.
2. Highlight style - it Will be great if we can customise the highlighted text color and background.
Solid app
I’ve tried the other speed reading apps and Outread is the best by far. It’s clearly a well put together app, works reliably, no bugs that I’ve found, great UI. There are some UI improvements that I’d like to see and I’m confident that Arek is gonna keep iterating on the app and pushing updates.
Brilliant but a few things
Firstly, it is a brilliant app! Massively helpful when I have to read reports or keeping up with my magazine subscriptions and books on the go. But! The import of documents, pdf and other things can be massively clunky. Missing pieces of writing or not coping across a website without so many extra steps. The layout could be nicer as well, maybe a bookshelf that has the covers for the books would be so nice to look at
