ReadMe! (BeeLine & Focus)

ask user to change the rating

Needs some serious usability work. - spritz login should be an SFAuthenticationSession, rather than the custom Safari window that won't let me copy in my long password - no need for library to fade in - just show me my books right away - you want my to burn 🔥 my books? Really? The bookshelf is a bit much, but the match is going overboard - if I tap on a book, I want to read it immediately, not see the option to rename it. Put the in the edit mode with deletion, following iOS conventions. - lacks continuous scroll mode. I'm using the app for Spritz, which makes more sense in a continuous context anyway, but previously I stopped using Kindle because it didn't support continuous scroll. - on the Spritz selecter, two magnifying glasses icon is confusing - the part you move should be a handle, and it can still have the move icon. - far as I can tell, no way to zoom images. Many books have maps with small details you need to zoom in to see. - I like that you don't add copywrite info when I copy text from a book. - not updated frequently enough - no iPhone X support over a month after release. - the loading screen "applying Beeline reader" when flipping to the next page is disruptive. Maybe preprocess the next page, since that's at least predictable - you don't need to do the whole book. - bug: Spritz advances faster than the pages turn to keep up.

I have read with surprise the negative reviews of the ReadMe! app since I have used it for several years without having any of the problems others are reporting. When i follow the instructions, I have no trouble getting new books into the library provided they are in the correct format. If you are having trouble losing a book, it is probably because the publisher has protected it from being put into a format, that is compatible with the app to stop you from reading the book anywhere except on their site. You really shouldn't complain just because ReadMe will not help you violate the rules established by the entity you bought the book from. Both Spiritz and BeeLine Reader work well at all times. I had no qualms about becoming a premium member, especially since it permits me to increase the reading speed. The reviews that criticize the app because the developer charges something for it are, I believe, unreasonable. In our capitalist society, we should expect people to be paid when they develop and provide something we want. I think the app is great and so almost all my reading on it.

This app is fantastic. I was already a very fast/avid reader, but still, there were classics I’d put off. This app has made it possible for me to increase my reading speed as well as finish off a few of those books on my list. I find my comprehension is higher at this pace with this app than when I “skitter” or photoread. My nine-year-old goddaughter loves the app, too, and always asks to play with it on my phone. We read quite a bit of Little Women together that way. It would be amazing if this were integrated with more formats, but it’s not that hard to find books. It’s also extremely good for the purposes of writing: I load my rough drafts up as PDFs and read them, which keeps me from editing while reading, and allows me to quickly get the sense of a whole.

ReadMe is a valuable addition to the reading and comphrension tools in my learning tool box. I am an immigrant and a little self conscious about my my command of the English language. This program is not an end-all, but a practical instrument for improving reading/writing/comprehension skills. This application is a good learning platform and the undue criticism of its practicality, user-friendliness or issues with bugs appears at times seems deliberate and uncalled for. I have enjoyed many months (12+) of reading with the application and apart from requiring me to log in with more frequency than I like the application has worked flawlessly. I whole-heathy recommend this application. Thank you for your time and attention.

Excellent rapid reader App with great import features including email, Dropbox and browser. Uses Spritz interface like several other Apps of similar nature (RushReader is my other favorite.) Could do without the Skeuomorphic 'bookcase'. Otherwise, a solid App that allows me to read my iBook and Kindle purchases (using iBookCopy or Calibre.) I give this App a plus over RushReader as it has more Spritz options. Would love to see Apple buy these guys out and incorporate features into the iBook App :-)
