I’m not sure I’ve had a disappointing experience with an app the way I have with this. I purchased this app last month, only for it to be a waste of my money. The app creators have ignored my initial complaint and no, I don’t need to hound service providers to ensure the service they advertised work. First of all, none of my articles I saved load despite setting the app’s reader as the default. 13 articles from 4 different unpaywalled websites. Not a single one saves with the extracted article: I do get a link intended to redirect me to the site I saved the article from, which defeats the purpose of me saving it in the first place. This is one of the issues I raised when I sent them an email. At that time, it was 2 websites and I specified them. The syncing feature takes forever, to the point where, I haven’t even bothered to check if I have everything on the same devices, especially if you consider the first two issues. Connected to the syncing feature is this: when you save in Safari, it doesn’t automatically move to the app. Secondly, the space dedicated to the reader is smaller than the capture area. There’s more space for the captured items and the reader has 1/4 of the screen real estate. No, beyond a certain point, you cannot adjust it. If you’re a reader and you’ve used other reading apps, you know you don’t dedicate more real estate to displaying captures at the expense of the reader. I would have loved nothing better than to quietly use the app I purchased and go about my merry way but alas, wishes aren’t horses. Perhaps, if I’d seen a review like this, I would have stayed away. Hopefully, this helps you make an informed decision.
