This app was really easy to install and configure to match my store's design. It displays the estimated time to read the article at the top of every blog post so my users know what to expect.

Best app to show reading time on content. Works perfectly and Sean was awesome to do some customizations for us according to our needs. I've tested a few apps before this one and all of them had issues/bugs/absence of support at one point or other.

Time2Read is a fantastic app for Shopify users. It is incredibly user-friendly and has a clean, intuitive interface. The app's core feature of allowing customers to see an estimated read time for our pages is fantastic. The support team is also very responsive and helpful in resolving any questions I've encountered. Overall, I highly recommend Time2Read to any Shopify store looking to improve the customer experience.

I just launched the blog on our e-commerce site and was looking for a simple way to add "read time" to our articles. Time2Read is exactly what we were looking for! Customizing the widget was super fast, and in just a few clicks, I had it perfectly set up. Definitely recommend!

I literally just started using this Time2Read as our company recently decided to put more emphasis on our blog posts. In a short time, we have already seen not only a jump in readers, but also more calls with further questions. It's just great! I have trouble finding good apps on this platform, so when I come across one that actually delivers what it promises, I feel compelled to let others know. Thank you to the creators!
