Review Summary

BeeLine Reader helps improve reading speed and comprehension, especially for users with ADHD, through its color gradient feature that reduces eye strain. However, many users report significant technical issues including failure on platforms like Google Docs and PDFs, frequent bugs, and intrusive pop-ups. The extension's free version is heavily restricted, and its subscription pricing is considered expensive and inflexible, with poor account management and cancellation options. Despite these issues, users who can utilize it find it beneficial for reading.
