Bugged and unusable

The app requires you to add an initial article at the tutorial screen before you can start using it. However, the ‘add to’ shortcut in Safari isn’t appearing. So the app is softlocked at the intro screen and unusable.

Response from developer

Quiche Reader is not "unusable." Please restart your device, and the share extension should be available. Sincere apologies for this inconvenience, but unfortunately you have encountered a notorious iOS bug where extensions of newly installed apps do not show up immediately in the share sheet. Many users reported this same issue and there's nothing I can do until Apple fixes it. Fortunately, restarting always does the trick. Feel free to reach out at greg@quiche.works if you have any question. Also, if your problem is solved, I would be extremely grateful if you could edit your review and rating, as it penalizes the app greatly in App Store rankings. Thank you very much.

Simple elegant app

I like the simplicity of the app and would love to see a few more options added. I hope the app is still being supported, as there hasn’t been any updates in awhile. Nice job on this beautiful app. Good to here, appreciate the quick response, and looking forward to what’s to come.

Thanks a lot for your review! I love Quiche Reader and it is definitely not abandoned 😊  As I'm working on my other app Quiche Browser, the endgame is to have both apps working closely together (e.g. fast save to Reader from Browser), and share some advanced features (reader mode, offline saving, etc.). Please stay tuned!

The Rare Perfect App

One of those few apps that I wouldn't change a single thing about. Private, free, simple, beautiful, and perfectly functional. Truly makes my life a little bit better.

And yet there are so many things I would like to improve... 😊 Thank you so much for your nice review!

Amazing read it later app

The only read it later app youll ever need. It's so simple - opens the pages youve saved one by one. Free and no frills - no text search, highlighting, or text-parsed view. But it performs foundational functionality super well: Pages open from paywalled sites after a single login, web views always open easily. Im blazing thru my reading list. God send.

Thank you so much Arthur!!

Doesn’t work if Safari is deactivated

I have Safari deactivated on my phone, and that stops this app from working.

Private, Easy, and NO SUBSCRIPTION!

I have used Instapaper, Pocket, and Wallabag as various Read It Later services. This is the first one that I truly enjoy, and don't fell that I am selling my soul to use.
It’s boasts a beautiful, dark interface (by default!), iCloud Sync, and is easy to use. It also has an macOS version available on the App Store, also, for free.

This is a rare gem of an app. The developer, Greg (whose rest of the name I will not even attempt to write, as I will sure mess it up) has delivered to market, what an app **should** be. Simple, easy, **private**, and without the obnoxious subscription charges, so prevalent in todays apps.

If this app were to go to a pay/buy model **without** a subscription, I will still support this developer by purchasing it.
