ProsCons
Excellent teaching toolSpeed reading vs reading fast
On the upside, the Reedy app can be a very valuable tool in teaching beginners to process content fast and to open up new worlds to those suffering from learning disabilitiesDespite the claims of the developers, the Reedy app does not teach you accelerated literacy skills
VersatilityIt may, however, help some readers to increase pace based on RSVP
The ability of the Reedy app to display images and tables is a definite plus and gives it an edge of other servicesOn the downside, it does not allow you to skim material before processing, an essential part of quick reading, especially for study purposes
Good user interactionNo scientific base
A goodly number of users have commented on the fact that the developers are very quick to react to suggestions and complaintsLiteracy skills and retention have been the focus of many empirical studies
This must be seen as a very large plus too.Processing text one word at a time is not conducive to retaining the central theme of entire sentences, paragraphs and even sections

Reedy reviews

I love this app. It works better as a reader than all of the others I have tried. The Text-to-Speech functionality is top notch, and it actually remembers your place if you close it. I highly recommend this app.

- Scot D. Evans

First of all, the app is a great text to speech reader. But it's much more than that. It makes reading text on a smart phone screen fast & enjoyable. In my experience, faster than reading text even from a physical book or newspaper! Several apps promise to teach you how to speed read. But there is a learning curve. This app does not do that, nor try to do that. Instead, its interface encourages (& produces) very fast & efficient reading of any text, esp on smart phones.

- Marc van Lohuizen

I'm pleasantly surprised that the application is free of charge, because I nearly paid a few pounds for a different EPUB reader, and now I'm glad that I didn't do it. Save your money and use Reedy.
