"I have only recently downloaded the Dolphin easy reader app but I have found the dyslexia reading tools very helpful.
In particular, the line and word spacing has really helped me focus and read with more ease."

I have been using this app for a couple of months, and I am very impressed.

User Review
The EasyReader App opened up a whole new world to me, it has given my far more than I ever thought possible.
I was never a good book reader - I found reading braille difficult and I always had great difficulty with spelling - I never knew the reason why, and dyslexia wasn’t spoken about when I was a school 70 years ago.
If the EasyReader App had been available to me as a young person, my life could have been so very different. The wealth of knowledge now available through the easy reader app, I find fascinating and so exciting."
