Summary

This app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to widespread issues with its subscription model where users pay for premium features but often cannot access them, or find it impossible to cancel their subscriptions. Many reviewers also criticize the app's inability to effectively convert PDF files and its high, convoluted pricing structure, which includes restrictive character limits even for paid users. While some users appreciate the Bionic Reading concept for improving readability, particularly for those with ADHD or dyslexia, these positive aspects are largely overshadowed by significant functional bugs and poor customer support. The app is frequently described as slow, disfunctional, and a waste of money.

COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK. Jessica: “Having ADHD and processing issues means that I read very slow because my brain can’t focus on the words enough to both read them and process what they mean at a decent pace. Using Bionic Reading® has allowed me to feel functional and productive when I’m reading something lengthy – it’s such a GAME CHANGER!” Lisa: “I have not read fiction for 20 years. I read what I have to read. It almost hurts my brain to read regular type. But now I will be reading fiction again! Bionic Reading® works for me and I can read 2–3 times faster! AMAZING! This is a LIFE CHANGER! Thank You!” Patrick: “OK, Bionic Reading® is the real deal. I already read quickly and this doubled it.” Reaction from Daniel: “Holy smokes you’re not kidding!” Carla: “WOW! I could read quickly and fluently using Bionic Reading®. Doing this helped me understand the context of the paragraph much better than when I have to squint and focus on each word, which tires me out and I lose focus. Bionic Reading® is brilliant!” Nestor: “Your tool is gorgeous, It’s helping me a lot. My sight is reduced because one of my transplanted corneas has become opaque and Bionic Reading® is helping me a lot to read easier and comprehend faster.” TYPOGRAPHY. DESIGN. SWITZERLAND.
