ReadMe! (BeeLine & Focus)

Downloaded it for the spritz integration. Could not import books or pdf without crashing. Also after taking a subscription there was no improvement . I was not even able to read the accompanied jungle book copy... it’s a sham cause I love the spritz reading technology.

Most usefull app on my phone. Use it on every commute. I used to only read in bed but now I read on every occasion. Especially the Spritz integration will have you finish books in a jiff. Some of UI parts are a bit clunky, but that is greatly offset with the featureset!

After wasting your time with all the sign up procedures you are to revealed that it's €2 a month or €65 lifetime to use!

Heeft alleen toegevoegde waarde tezamen met een betaalde subscription. Doet dus niet wat het beloofd.

Can't even create an account as the app keeps telling me I need to be online to create an account. (Guess I download the app while offline and I'm now typing this review while being offline).
Seems the developer lost interest in this app.
Update just in case the developer is tracking this:
Now the app recognizes I'm online, I was able to make an account and I'm now this

Hoewel ik ook een Kobo heb, gebruik ik dit programma voor mijn boeken club. Dikke boeken lezen gaat zo voortvarend een voortreffelijk. De support is geniaal

Since Spritz! was introduced on another platform, I was looking forward for an port to IOS. I am reading both technical books and fiction/non-fiction stories and Spritz! could be perfect for that.

When I found ReadMe, the iPhone app using Spritz technology, i was eager to try it. I used it for several weeks and this kind of speedreading works really well for me with most non-technical book.
However, Spritz technology has a big downside. Every single page you read with this app is uploaded tot spritz! Also, your session ID, reading speed, how many times you pause the app and other info is sent to Spritz!. This has three conseqences.
1) Sending every word you read to Spritz is a big privacy violation. I don't want to share all content and metadata (every word I read and reading habits) with Spritz.
2) The app does not work without internet connectivity. So even if you don't care about your privacy and want to use this app, it might not work for you. If you're on holiday, the app does not work without roaming. In a plane the app does not work.
3) Uploading your data to Spritz! over slow internet connections makes page turns very slow. This is
very annoying on the iPhone. I am reading a page for 18 seconds, and waiting another 6 seconds before the next page shows up. (Page prefetching could fix this problem.)
UPDATE: I have discussed these issues with the developer. All your text is sent to Spritz and is parsed on the Spritz! servers. This is necessary for the technology to work (unfortunately). I hope that Spritz! will make it's technology available as a library, so data no longer needs to be uploaded.

Horible interface, doesn’t remember your position in the book.
Needs an internetconnection for reading on the iPhone!
