Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Have you ever wanted to read some book, but it felt like it needed too much time and was simply boring? FLOOX will make reading much faster and much more fun (once you get a hang of it ;) It is based on RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) method, which has been scientifically proven to increase the reading speed by 33% while retaining the same comprehension level (G. Öquist, M. Goldstein). While most speed-reading techniques require a lot of self-discipline to keep a high speed, FLOOX keeps the speed you choose, so that you can relax and concentrate on the meaning. Reading becomes like watching a movie, while remaining a great exercise for your brain. Since words on the screen are always moving and grabbing your attention, concentrating on reading is also much easier than for a static text, where your mind tends to wonder away because there is no action. The basis of any speed reading is to reduce the vocalization: understand the words without pronouncing them with your internal voice; and FLOOX helps you achieve this. So your regular reading will also improve after using FLOOX! Besides, since you only need to see one word a time, you can use a much larger font and hold the device farther away, which is less tiring on your eyes and saves your vision. Remember: this method requires a skill. You can truly appreciate it only after practicing it for a couple of weeks. ✓ Supports EPUB, MOBI, FB2, TXT, PDF and HTML files, Copy-Paste and Sharing. There are many websites to convert other formats to EPUB or FB2. ✓ When pasting or sharing links, they are loaded automatically, so you can read the news or Wikipedia using FLOOX ✓ Interesting statistics ✓ See the remaining time to finish the book and the estimated speed (words per minute) ✓ Easily increase/decrease speed or fine-tune all delays to make it behave exactly as you want ✓ See the words surrounding the current words, to roughly understand the context and look ahead or behind when needed ✓ Set colors you like ✓ Right-to-Left support ✓ Chinese and Japanese languages support You can purchase a 1-year ad-free subscription!

FLOOX APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is FLOOX free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the FLOOX APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2dd72efd07ac74415880535883066a3a.
