User Reviews

Wallabag Reader offers strong native iOS support with Safari and share extensions and solid clipping quality when it works, plus lightweight performance and the option to self-host. However, users frequently report onboarding and setup difficulties, ongoing server compatibility and maintenance issues, missing or inconsistent share integration, and unreliable clipping across sites. The app also faces concerns about activity on the server side and perceived abandonment by maintainers, which dampens overall reliability. Overall, it remains appealing for tech-savvy users who value control, but it struggles with consistency and ease of use for everyday use.
Pros
  • Native iOS app with Safari extension and sharing extension support.
  • Self-hosting capability with own Wallabag server and open-source ethos offering independence.
  • High-quality web clipping and page reductions when it works.
  • Lightweight and fast performance for reading.
Cons
  • Onboarding/setup is overly complex and often failing (token/key setup, registration errors, 'Whoops something went wrong').
  • Server compatibility and maintenance issues: can't connect to latest server versions, unknown errors, perceived abandonment.
  • Share integration is missing or inconsistent (missing from share sheet/menu, no easy 'share to Wallabag' button).
  • Clipping reliability is inconsistent across websites (some pages fail to clip, arbitrary link ordering, other clipping reliability issues).

No, not for getting it setup — that went fine, thanks. But I updated the app three days ago and since then no saved article will open. They don’t respond to clicking in the app (or, they sometimes kind of flash white as if they’ll open, and I can hold to add to favourites, but they won’t actually open). It was working fine before the update. But who can I turn to for support? The app here sends me to the original, and now archived, GitHub page. I posted on the new GitHub page and there has been no reply. I would like to actually continue using this app, I do believe you developed it so that if could be used 😒
