Wallabag 2 official User Reviews

Fantastic RIL service for *technically-minded* users

This is a read-it-later app par excellence, but only for those willing to get their “hands dirty” using its powerful features.

For instance, this app requires that you create an API key to set up synchronization with your various devices and browser extensions. The developers don’t make it obvious how to do this. That’s not because the app / service is bad or the developers are incompetent: it’s because the intended audience already knows how to do this and, for us, this feature is awesome.

Please stop giving low ratings because you don’t know what you’re doing: instead, please read the documentation and inform yourself.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your answer. Indeed the application is aimed at an informed public and able to understand the configuration sometimes difficult to do. But it is also a great way to improve ourselves. Thank you very much for your comment.

Extraordinary improvement

Very cool and nice for my day to day reading now !

Response from developer

Thanks, I'm glad wallabag can help! Thank you for your positive comment

Lack of updates

Removed the app due to lack of fixes, the developer seems more interested in adding "AI" features.

I have moved to ReadKit

Response from developer

I'm sorry you are not satisfied. I continue to work on the application. Hoping that future improvements will bring you back

bug report

The server uses the HTTP protocol to display the unknown error directly, and there is no network request at all. Packets are sent only using the HTTPS protocol.

Response from developer

Hello you can report an issue directly in our GitHub. Thanks. the application uses the address configured by the user, try to put http or https in host configuration

Great app, just takes some config thanks to iOS constraints

This is the best privacy based news app you can utilize but it is complicated to setup on iOS. The good news is that on every single other platform, even Linux and lesser utilized ones, it works perfectly, full end to end encryption, organization cannot even see what you have which is what adds some of the complexity, and project is 100% open source so you can actually validate information is secure instead of just trusting that a company says so.

Great app

Really like it however I don’t see wallabag in the share sheet. Any ideas?

Response from developer

Hello, Thanks for your feedback. To answer you in more detail, do not hesitate to open a bug from the application

Lack of updates and support

This is the failing of much open source software everywhere: lack of consistent, ongoing support for the entire ecosystem, including mobile apps.

This mobile app no longer connects to the latest version of the server, giving an “unknown error” message when connecting to the latest server.

The other app with the orange logo works still, but doesn’t cache content locally as well.
