Ratings and Reviews
Nice app, small suggestion
I like this app it’s neat. I have two suggestions, firstly, I think it would be useful to be able to sort your library by the date the books were published. I understand that would likely be a great deal of effort but I think it would help people to better understand the order that certain series should be read in. You could alternatively sort books from the same series into groups which I believe would help people understand which order they should be read in. Just a suggestion though and I understand it would be difficult to implement. Secondly, I think an option to have the chunking setting keep going until it hits a comma or period would be useful. Other than that, great app!
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.
