Review Summary

User reviews for Bionic Reading show a split experience: it notably helps users with ADHD and reading difficulties by improving focus and reading capabilities. The tool offers customization and useful features like PDF export. However, many users encounter activation issues where the extension does not work or requires inconvenient manual activation on each webpage. The approach of rewriting the entire page rather than inline text conversion is seen as clunky. Overall, it benefits certain users strongly but suffers from poor usability and inconsistent functionality for others.

Pros

  • Helps users with ADHD and reading difficulties to focus and retain information better.
  • Effective in increasing reading speed and comprehension, particularly for long articles or texts.
  • Customizable settings and option to download processed text as PDF are appreciated.
  • Responsive customer support is noted.
  • Once activated properly, it can significantly improve reading experience for some users.

Cons

  • Many users report the extension doesn't work or fails to activate on various websites.
  • Activation requires clicking the extension on each page, which many find inconvenient and tedious.
  • The extension rewrites the whole site into a separate page rather than converting text in place, causing usability issues.
  • Lack of clear instructions or intuitive interface leads to confusion on how to use the extension.
  • Incompatibility with certain scripts/cyrillic symbols and with some types of documents like university papers.
