Wear Reader vs Quick Reader

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.

The title says is all because you have thousands of free books that you can read and you can control the speed of the focus box of words. It has improve my speed reading in just one day that I think that every school and every professional work place should have this app installed in their computer for learning and taking care of daily tasks of reading the emails or project requirements. Five dollars is nothing for what you will get inside this app: thousands of free books and speed reading app.

The app has a lot of promise. I want believe that this app will improve my reading time but there is one dilemma. I have no clue how to download the books I want on the app. For example, I want a pdf of a book I found online. So I email it to myself. The problem is that when I try to open it in the QuickReader app, their app doesn’t show up as an option. iBooks shows up as an option. Nook shows up as an option. Even a scanner app that rarely use shows up as an option. But where the heck is QuickReader? There is no easy way to download your books using your mobile phone. I tried using the directions that the guide laid out for me. I went through the steps but still nothing. I don’t want to read some ancient texts provided for me for free in the catalogs. I want to read new best sellers. How can I do that if I can’t even get it on the app in the first place?

The latest version of QR has become much less stable than previous. It crashes almost every time I try to download a book. It may be due to my using an older tablet (iOS 9.3) but it is borderline unusable. I can think of at least two things this app needs. I download books or even stories that are not always published in one piece. When an update comes out I have to delete the book from the Quick Reader library and then reimport it with the update. I suppose that would be tolerable but QR doesn't always recognize the additional chapter(s). So, an option to overwrite an existing book in the library with an updated version would be better. Additionally, books I've imported do not always show up in the library. The other nice to have is a desktop version. All that said it is the best ePub reader I've tried.
