“Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.“
Sir Richard Branson
If this worked as intended, this app would be amazing. Books on your wrist, everywhere you go! And actually an attractive interface as well. But constant crashes hold it back. I’m trying to reinstall again - I don’t want to give up on it yet! Developer, please fix the reliability.

I had my Apple Watch for about 8 months before finding this app and admittedly I didn't use it much and was a little disappointed I had spent the money on it. However, after finding this app I won't be caught without my watch. I love that I can read anytime I have some down time. Whether I'm waiting in line, riding the subway or taking a break at lunch all I have to do is look at my wrist to catch up on my reading. I prefer to read using the Traditional Method where I manually scroll through "pages" of the book with many words on the screen at one time instead of the speed reading method that shows one word at a time, but I'm sure some people prefer the other method. Definitely worth using this app.

I want to say thanks for the app. A few reviewers point out that the Apple Watch auto-off setting interrupts reading. And though at first this was disappointing, I found that by placing my finger on the edge of the screen while using the app the auto-off never triggers. I hope people are aware of this! A simple mod that turned Wear Reader into the app I'd been waiting for. Productivity doubled. Well, best wishes and thanks for this weird fabulous idea. I believe that all mobile reading apps will be rapid serial within 7 or 8 years and hope you folks get some deserved credit for that.

“I wanted to thank you for the speed reading workshop. I believe this was one of our most successful programs and the students who attended were very grateful for the skills they received.”
- Hannah Baker
Thank you so much for your training and expertise. I do believe everyone involved came away with some useful new techniques, tools and ideas they can use going forward when reading and reviewing our claims materials. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
- Jodi Purcell
“I must thank you for a superb workshop. The students are excited about what they got out of the day, not only reading but the memorization & other study skills. We will definitely want to do the same workshop next year with our entering medical students.”

| Traditional Mode Useless |
| Most reviewers are of the opinion that the traditional mode (where you can have blocks of text displayed, allowing you to scroll up and down) is utterly useless |
| The text is too small and when the font size is increased the entire purpose of this mode is negated |
| It does not accept imports from iBooks due to legislation, |
