Report an issueReading Trainer improves your reading speed and retention rate with 12 challenging and fun exercises. ▪ #1 Education App in 20 countries ▪ Top chart position in over 70 countries ▪ Our iPhone version is App Store Rewind Award Winner – iPhone App of the Year DE, CH, AT - Significant increases in your reading speed - Eye-exercises and improvements in your mental capacity
This app provides everything you need to read texts of all types faster, more effectively and most of all, with better retention.
The PowerReader allows you to get your daily work done while practicing important reading skills. Learning reading techniques has never been this much fun! Double your reading speed in just a few days. Trial users have used this software to increase their reading speed by an average of 143% in 10 days.
Do you currently need 30 minutes to read the daily paper? Soon you will read two papers and, in addition, another chapter in an interesting non-fiction book – within the same time period. Combining the iPad with this entirely new app provides the ideal platform to achieve measurable results with a minimum of effort.
But that’s not all: You will have fun mastering the skills you need to attain effective reading techniques and significantly increase your reading speed; this means: - Rapid recognition of numbers, letters and words - Flexible eye movements - Improved ability to concentrate - Increased vision span
The app guides you through the individual training steps.
The software immediately recognizes your strengths and weaknesses. The statistics function lets you see and track your progress. The results of each training exercise are charted for your review. More stars mean that you are getting closer to your objective: more effective reading skills and with it extremely high reading speeds.
You can check your reading speed at any time using different reading tests from a variety of topics. Questions about the text are used as a secondary test to assess your retention ability. This is the ideal combination for mastering effective reading skills and high retention rates.
But beware: you might get hooked since early progress will motivate you to work on your skills regularly. It is fun and you are doing something to stay mentally fit at the same time.
We recommend that you train regularly but not excessively to ensure best results.

8 of 25Well thought out and executed. Now we will see if my reading speed improves.
I've been using this app for almost 2 years and I'm very pleased with the results. My reading speed has increased and my retention is still good. I do have 2 suggestions. First, please add more text. I've used this app so much I know the answers on the tests. Second, please change the colors on the Circles exercise - I'm colorblind and I cannot read black on blue very well. Overall - this is one of the favorite and most useful apps. Thanks for building it!
I’ve use multiple other speed reading apps and this is by far the best. The multiple courses help carry over when I’m reading books, articles, texts, and much more!!
After using only 3 weeks I've nearly doubled my reading speed
I usually never review anything but I must say that this really works! I started at about 250wpm and I am well over 500. That's with me forgetting to do it each day - I can't imagine if I made sure to use it every day! It's amazing to see your progress and how much easier the lessons that once seemed difficult start to become. Do yourself a favor and be sure to do this EVERYDAY!
Don’t make your kid do this it’s torcher There’s a guy when you first get into the app he’s so creepy !!!!!!!??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great lessons with remainder
I ask them to make the app support horizontal view, and they tell me it doesn't support it and there's no need. LAZY!!!!!
