- I love this idea. It doesn't work very well for quoted blocks, esp. code blocks. Sometimes it removes the line breaks. I also doesn't really seem to help much for code anyway since code already has syntax highlighting and isn't structured the same as natural language. I'm not sure if there's a way to generally distinguish code blocks, but if there is, it'd be great to just disable this for those sections. Maybe there could be a way to manually disable for a certain type of section.

- Did not work for my digital textbooks, specifically VitalSource.

- This extension does not work. I've tried on PDF files and a plethora of websites. Don't waste your time!

- make it work in chatgpt would do great good, nice extension though

- This extension is so helpful to me, moreso even than the OpenDyslexic extension. However, I have to re-enable it on every new page, and it works inconcistently. If it gets fixed, I'll use it every day!
- William Chapman
- Really great idea, extrmely helpful for someone with dyslexia. however it doesnt work on pdf files opened in chrome and when activated on sites with images it removes them which can be annoying if youre reading articles with graphs or tables in it.
- Dorothy Desilus
- Great extension, so glad this exists! However, the plug-in is inconsistent and does not work on university pages. When it is functional, it does exactly what its supposed to do. Thanks for this!
- Jason Chiu
- Only here because of a TikTok, but too many inconsistent reviews, so deleted the extension after reading the reviews
- Jaime Red
- when it works, it's amazing because I can read faster and keep up the theme of the text for longer. sadly, it also has problems that either break text formatting (like deleting line breaks) or straight up break websites (buttons missing, text boxes absent and others). As a quick and easy help for reading better, it's great, as a long-term solution, it's not, as it has multiple fixes that it needs before it can be so... nonetheless, the fact that this was basically a solidary project to help those with ADHD, I am very grateful this exists.

- It's a cool idea (I was obsessed with it when I first heard about it too and tried to build a similar Chrome extension) but if you look at research on bionic reading, it doesn't actually make a difference. "After analyzing data from 2,074 testers, we found no evidence that Bionic Reading has any positive effect on reading speed. In fact, participants read 2.6 words per minute slower on average with Bionic Reading than without." Source: https://blog.readwise.io/bionic-reading-results/

- Really cool idea but it does not work at all, not on any site I tried it on.
- Charlotte Perez
- Why is it not working on most pages? It worked sort of on Facebook, but the font is already kind of bold so it was very subtle. Works on Twitter but images don't load at all? Didn't work at all on Reddit or Gmail. If it automatically turned on with every page, that would be stellar too, but I'm having to manually turn on and wait 30 seconds for the page to reload. As of right now, it needs major fixes before I would consider this actually useful.

- thank you :')
- Dava Gordon
- Saw this and had to have it, really helped me
- Paige
- I installed this as I have to read a lot of scientific literature and I hoped it would help increase my focus and reading efficiency. Unfortunately I could not get it to work on any site I use, and it completely breaks Endnote. I wish it would work on PDFs opened in chrome (through Endnote or otherwise) and that you didn't have to turn it on/off every time you move to/open a different page.
- Elliott Suh
- I wish there was a way to adjust the size of the bold font, sometimes it's a bit too much depending on the font. Otherwise, it’s amazing and i can take in info much faster.
- marco picco
- Good idea but it doesn't seem to work
- ori
- this is great and helps with reading, but this is absolutly horrible for the sites i need to study from and most other sites i tried using it on. breaks the general website UI breaks any and all PNG pictures and makes the site not display them i end up turning this on when i read and then off (plus refresh the site) to view the diagrams and charts once this issue is fixed its a 5 star from me
- Jokūbas Stulpinas
- would be a lot better if it was turned on automatically instead of having to manually turn it on every time
- Alexey Zatsepin
- thats what I am talking about ! A bit of config that fit best: 1. Always on/off (so you don't need to toggle in manually) 2. Increase font size by ... +1, +2, etc There are other options that good to have but imo those two are really useful
- Sarah S
- Found this from tiktok, I cant thank you enough for how helpful this is!
- Cerys Smith
- It works great on the websites it does work on. Wish it worked on more stuff.
- cal wallace
- Manually turning the extension on is a nightmare
- Elizabeth De La Torre
- It did not work for me but it seems like a good idea.
- Sam Lim
- doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried turning it on, but I don't see anything happen.
- To Go Packaging
- Awesome!!!! Thanks so much!
- Nora Tudor
- I do online school and it didn't work for any of the websites I use which was kind of the whole point but i rly rly want this idea to be functional. And then this may be a me problem but for every new page i had to manually turn it on.
- BozMagic
- Really cool implementation, but it really breaks a lot of the formatting that you can see on some websites as well as just delete photos and .png and .jpeg that are on some websites, but it really helps a lot on textbooks.
- Raging Enby
- Could you at some point add a universal toggle? It's annoying needing to turn it on every time I go to a new website and it'd be nice if I was able to just toggle it once and have it stay on! Also thank you so much for this! I've always had a really hard time reading long articles in school and this has made my life so much easier <3
- Preston Gambill
- It has not been working on anything that I have tried
- Lou Volpe
- Works for things like articles but not for google docs
- Dallas Andrews
- I adore the concept but it doesn't work where I need it to :( I look forward to when it expands! Thank you for this!
- Hi Bolt
- I love it, it works when reading online articles, but I wish it worked on other stuff as well
- Katie Swinyer
- I want to love it! I cannot get it to work on any websites or pdf downloads for my students. Am I doing something wrong? It is just Turn On or Turn Off?
- njnjablonski009
- Amazing.
- Joe Alexander
- It doesn't work on most places, but it is extremely useful when it does. I wish it wouldn't have to be turned on for every tab.
- Monique Juliana Paityn Macie Sir
- It can take up to 2 minutes to complete a task, but it is great for getting things done faster and increasing my efficiency. The reason it is not a ten is that it occasionally freezes the web and requires you to close it and reopen it.
- J. Van Walraven
- It didn't work in most of the places I tried it, and I'm not sure why. This might be my fault, but there aren't any setting that I know of in chrome or the extension that could fix it. It's a great idea, but I wish it worked.
- Kyle Martin
- This is great, I wish that I could do this to my kindle!
- Chrisabn
- Thank you so much this helps me with my dyslexia so much! you have changed my life and gave me a tool to make my life more accessible!
- Pearl Carlson
- I saw your TikTok and RAN to my laptop to download this. THANK YOU!!! As someone with ADHD, this is fantastic. It's helped so much!
- Laura Ash
- Hey, I just wanted to say thank you. Originally the company behind Bionic Reading had put this behind a paywall. I waited for a few years to be able to access it and they've made it more accessible now. I still don't appreciate their approach now in the apps, extensions and webpages they've developed for 'half bold' up to this point. So, I wanted to say thank you for inputting the code here for us to access because it's definitely going to make my life much easier. Thank you.
- David Eyring
- I saw your tiktok literally 10 minutes ago, I IMMEDIATELY downloaded this extension and was able to read a 6 page article for homework that I have been struggling with for over 2 hours (ADHD paralysis be somethin else today.) THANK YOU for this! you have genuinely helped me in a way I never thought possible.
- Eric Merideth
- I like the others saw this on TicTok, I have used it and it works great.
- Rick Mangum
- I saw your video on TikTok and am trying it out. I have never read through something as comprehensively as I have after using this. I can study and do my homework in a much more efficient way, and I'm not getting exhausted from it. Thank you so much for making this! I'm sharing it with all my ADHD family members.
- Steven Donaldson
- Thank you and thanks Tiktok
- Katie Love
- Thank you so much! I can't explain how much this has improving my reading speed and comprehension.
- Kat Steele
- legit just saw the TikTok and it is an immediate add to my chrome!
