Joy Kuai (ID: 000000870c69982f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/18/2021 Sometimes reading off of the computer can be hard, especially when it comes to long paragraphs and small words. This app guides me through out my reading so I don't get lost and I also find that it helps me to focus. Just seeing myself being productive and grinding down those paragraphs with Readily motivates me to accomplish more!

Jeremy Fermin (ID: 000000fd2b2a9c5f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/16/2021 Helps a lot with reading! Although I don't have any serious issues reading, it just makes reading a lot easier and quicker. I found the sentence focus most useful since I tend to get lost reading bigger paragraphs.
