## Review summary

Start.me is praised for a beautiful, widget-rich start page that centralizes bookmarks, tasks, notes, and calendars across devices, with a strong feature set and value for subscribers. However, multiple reviews report reliability problems on iPhone (loading circles, login failures), a lack of updates, and iOS compatibility issues. Users also note friction with Safari/default-browser behavior and a preference for the web version over the app due to stability and performance.

### Pros

- Centralized organization across devices (central location for bookmarks, tasks, notes, etc.)
- Beautiful, elegant start page UI with widgets and a rich feature set (bookmarks, tasks, notes, widgets)
- Wide feature set including calendar, analytics, sharing and customization options
- Value for paying subscribers with ongoing enhancements
- Web version is strong and often preferred as a homepage or primary usage

### Cons

- App reliability issues on iPhone (persistent loading spinner, login failures)
- Lack of updates/maintenance (app not updated in a year; limited improvements)
- iOS compatibility concerns (troubles saving websites; Apple/third-party integration issues)
- Frustration with Safari-centric behavior and desire to use default browser (Chrome/Edge)
- App performance issues relative to the web version (web is often better)
