I discovered AFR when I was researching apps for my Back to School Tech Talk. As someone who spends most of her work time reading on her phone or tablet, this App has become my new best friend.
I can read news articles, blogs and online documents in half the time. As a person with attention issues, the one word at at time AFR format with a key letter highlighted in red at the middle of that word, works particularly good for keeping me focused as well.
Even if I have to run through the piece twice, I am still getting the information quicker and in most cases, with better comprehension, then previously. Now, if they can just get it to read my Kindle books - it would be the perfect companion!
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
