QuickReader - Speed Reading4.8 - App Store

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!

3.4:
Lots of you were asking us to make it easier way to import your own DRM-free EPUB books into QuickReader, so in version 3.4 we have added iTunes File Sharing. This allows you to drag books into (and out of) the QuickReader File Sharing section in iTunes.

To import books, select your device in iTunes, then the Apps tab, then select QuickReader in the file sharing section at the bottom, then drag and drop your books or select the Add... button.

In order to help organize all the books you are going to be importing into QuickReader, we have added a hierarchical author view. Now when you select the Author sort in the Library, there will only be one entry per author. If an author has more than one book then you can select that author to see all of their books listed.

We've also added support for having lots and lots of books in the app at once. We tested with over 2500 books and the app barely flinched - loading in less than 15 seconds. That's faster than it used to load with 50 books. And with fewer books it's even faster.

And, of course, there were the obligatory bug fixes, including:
- Fix for rotation bug that would sometimes cause half of the screen to get cut off.
- Fix for TOC issue where table of contents for some books wouldn't display properly.
- Fix for issue where images would sometimes not be displayed.
- Fix for Calibre2OPDS catalog formatting issues.
- Fix for issue caused when catalog "Load more..." was tapped more than once.

We hope you enjoy the update! 3.4.1 04/01/2012 Lots of you were asking us to make it easier way to import your own DRM-free EPUB books into QuickReader, so in version 3.4 we have added iTunes File Sharing.

Bug fixes. 3.3.0 10/31/2011 QuickReader 3.2 adds a book position slider, allowing you to quickly jump around in a book. And now it will tell you how long to read to the end of the book, as well as to the end of the chapter. The online catalogs now have an option to e-mail a book to yourself or open the book in an external app (e.g., iBooks or Kindle.) And, finally, we improved the app startup time (though it will take a bit longer to load the very first time.)

Enjoy!
