Accelerator: Speed Reader App Reviews

64 add

Doesn’t perform

Can’t parse Readability files that contain bulleted or numbered lists, numbered subheads or indented text. Which is pretty much every article you might save in Readability. The customer support is non-existent.

Not syncing

App no longer syncs with Instapaper or pocket, what gives?

Beats ReadQuick

I was a dedicated ReadQuick user. Accelerator is very similar, with some improvements. I like the sepia background and I LOVE the black background, because I read in bed. Im trying out adding fixations; right now Im on three words at a time. Accelerator does not show reading times in the queue like ReadQuick. They do show once the article is opened. There is a text-only view of the full article, which is an improvement over waiting to load the Web version. The only other difference Ive noticed so far is that the Accelerator queue holds about 70 articles, not quite as many as ReadQuick. I would say Accelerator is about 150% as good as the competition. Factor in that the competition costs twice as much, and its an even better value. Well done.

BEST SPEED READER APP ON

...the market Hows it going guys. Love the app. Its the number one app on my iPhone app dock for Easy access! I use this app for EVERYTHING, studying, leisure, you name it. Maybe future builds could include Some of the following items If you Guys havent discussed this already. A companion app for Mac. I dont know how large your audience is, but that would be great. There arent any good alternatives to your app in the Mac Store (take advantage of apples continuity function) Cloud service back up or some type of online back up for the text that we save for reading. I recently restored my phone to unlock it and I lost a few of the odd notes I had. I also have full ebooks in plain text saved here mainly. So you can imagine the size of the files that I copy and paste into the app. It seems a little slow when opening and closing those files. I think thats mainly hardware issue. A looping feature would be great, even if its a looping feature for individual notes/files. I like studying with the app and it would be could to have that supersede the begin again feature. Font color changes could be cool but I like the minimal settings as they are so thats not a necessity.
