Readtime, an iPhone app Built on Readability

Here at Readability, we love to see innovative uses of our platform and API. With that in mind, we’re pleased to tell you about a new third party iPhone app called Readtime.

Readtime's dial

When your Reading List has piled up, and you have a minute—or 5, or 10—but don’t know what to read, Readtime is the app for you.

Simply dial in the amount of time you want to spend reading, and it fetches the right amount of articles from your Reading List. Then you can enjoy reading the right article at the right time, in a clutter-free, intuitive interface.

Readtime is available for $1.99 on the iTunes App Store.

  1. Very interesting app, the only problem I have is…how to I go back. I’m stuck with reading articles for 10 minutes. Hoe do I change that? I’m stuck!

  2. If you want to get back to the dial from the article view, swipe from right-to-left. Then, dial in a new amount of time and enjoy!

  3. Victor,

    If you wish to cancel a reading session, swipe using the progress dial. If you tap the progress dial it will bounce to indicate that you can swipe, much like the camera button on the iPhone lock screen.

    For more tips, you might like to follow @Readtimeapp on twitter. We’d love to hear from you.
