Anyone here using Sight Reading Factory.com?

Sight Reading Factory is a blessing for me. I started playing piano at the age of 20 and I have been struggling with sight reading for 7 years. I am currently 27. I started piano in 2008. In 2009, I always wanted to sight read like a cruise musician or a cocktail pianist, but I am not a good sight reader. I gave up on sight reading for a while and was playing by ear. On January 25, 2016, I discovered sight reading factory.com while randomly searching for sight reading resources in Google. The exercises are progressive and it goes to all keys and rhythms. That's what I need - to sight read all variations and permutations. I practice the exercises with a metronome. I have my own system and routine in practicing the exercises.

If you go to this website, my only question is how do you configure the settings, where I can sight read three notes harmonically, 4 notes harmonically, etc.?

Unfortunately, after having a look at it, it's definitely not something I would use.

Although I'm impressed that there seems to be an endless stream of possible sight-reading examples, the examples themselves are quite dry and boring melodically, and often not pianistically written.

Their font and spacing is a little peculiar, and I see little motifs start to appear in almost every single generated sight-reading example.

If I were you - I'd stick to people who wrote books intended for developing technique, like Bartok's Mikrokosmos... and use that (Book 1 to start) as a good example of sight-reading. Then when you're able to read things like Book 3 examples, look at simple Mozart Minuets (his early) ones, as these are far more interesting and are far better written for the piano.
