Review summary

Readwise Android is valued for memory aids, reminders, cross-device syncing, and supportive features like chat with highlights. Reviewers praise its learning utility and responsiveness of the support team. However, users repeatedly cite pricing concerns (no free option), reliability bugs (tagging issues, image save, add-with-photo instability), onboarding/UI friction, and gaps vs the web (configuring daily reviews, Audible and widget support). These recurring themes shape a generally positive but buggy and service-model-sensitive experience.

Pros

Helps memory and learning by reminding you to revisit highlights and stay engaged with what you read.
Cross-device integration and syncing across tools (Obsidian, Kindle, Reader).
Responsive support and clear communication when bugs are reported.
Valuable subscription with ongoing updates and features like chat with highlights.

Cons

Pricing model: there is no free version; after an initial period you must pay to continue using the app.
Reliability issues and bugs affecting core features (tagging glitches, image-saving problems, add-with-photo instability, occasional app/device-specific loops).
Onboarding and UI/UX friction, including confusing navigation and missing essential integrations (e.g., Google login).
Feature gaps in the app compared to the web (configurable daily reviews, Audible sync, widget, offline reading).

It flawlessly syncs my Kindle highlights directly into Notion, making it effortless to organize and remember key insights. The daily review feature is brilliant, and the team behind it is incredibly thoughtful. An essential tool!
