## Review summary

ReaderView is praised for its simple UI and strong readability improvements, cross-app sharing, and robust annotation features. It saves articles as PDFs, syncs across devices, and works across Safari and Chrome. Recurrent downsides are lack of text search and full-text copy, occasional reliability issues, and imperfect formatting on certain sites. Overall, it’s a well-regarded tool for reading web content.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a clean, minimal interface.
- Significantly improves readability by removing ads and clutter, with text reflow for easy reading across sites.
- Powerful annotation and highlighting features (color-coded highlights, comments) useful for study and notes.
- Saving and exporting options (PDF, share extensions) with cloud sync across devices (iCloud; Evernote/OneNote).
- Cross-browser and cross-app integration (works with Safari and Chrome via extension; strong sharing capabilities).

### Cons

- Lack of text search and inability to copy or export full text (copy-paste disabled).
- Occasional reliability issues where content fails to load or the app stops working (e.g., 'No Content Yet').
- Not always as clean on some sites compared with Safari's native reader view.
