A couple of promo codes: E6RRK6X79FEK XF3644ER99H6 WKL3TPKXEPN6 N33RAA9MKPPA L3RA6JYH64XL 4E9FWHFHR97M TRN3A97APYEY LY3HL3JJEL6Y E949PTLNLN3Y HE9AYMNLYAXL
First of all, thank you for the promo code.

One of the first things I've noticed is that the app lacks a night mode (a dark theme). I think that would be really great. It's somewhat hard to concentrate on the text with a bright white screen blinding me in the dark.

It would be really nice if the app would ignore archived texts, or even better, move them to a different section of the app, so that we can revisit them if we want to.

Maybe ability to paste text into the app as well?

I noticed some reviews suggesting a pause at the end of the sentence or after longer/unusual words. That might be a good idea, although I didn't really suffer from the lack of those pauses.

Apart from that, I just went through a long(ish) text at 550 WPM without a hitch, so it works as advertised. Nicely done!

Maybe adding a disclaimer to the API section would help then. those were fairly prominently displayed when I first started them and I couldn't finish either of them.

Apigee API (2/21) and WebShell API (5/7) are throwing random errors. By the way, I have reported these 2 times before and no one had replied or even acknowledged my reports.

I like the re-design, I really do, but it's hard to be impressed when the same lessons that were broken a year ago are still broken and impossible to finish.

PHP might be a lot of things, but 'obscure' isn't one of them.
