Great way to collect links for reading later

All data stored locally and synced via iCloud. Tagging via the share sheet at save-time is fantastic for organization.

Version 2.0 is a beautiful redesign, and the in-app options were an insta-purchase to support development.

Update completely destroyed it

The update today completely destroyed the app. Now it won’t even open!

I second that ‘almost perfect’ score

Here’s the thing.
Please let me save a pdf or a file of all the links. Just in case. Also store a cache of the url previews because it always takes ages to reload. And thirdly is there a shortcut available so I can click on a link and add to bookmarks?
Otherwise great.

Was great for a while . . .

I loved this app for the first week or so, even though there's no way to import a bunch of bookmarks from a browser all at once.

But then it crashed and continued to crash every time I opened it. And as at least one reviewer has said, support is nonexistent. I wrote the developer about it, but have heard nothing.

Almost perfect

Let’s get the one negative out of the way. I would Iove to see the tags list in alphabetical order. Apart from that it’s great. It did crash on my first ever bookmark but since then it has worked faultlessly. It joins my top 10 app list.

Contact/Support

Nice tool. A simplified PearlTrees. Like it w/o all the bells and whistles. Simple. Easy. But support is not. The website has no way of contacting the developer. A bug exists where I can’t drag the icons to sort nor can I drag them to a tag. Using iPad Pro 11” 2020 model.

Needs notes view

The app seems to work well for as it is described, but what I need is an easy way to see the notes I took about the bookmark. I have so many similar pages that looking at the notes needs to be easy. Currently you have to long tap the bookmark and select “bookmark info” which is like an edit bookmark function to see the note. I might as well just open up the web page.

My preference would be to have a view similar to the current layout, but add the notes below the tile. Option b would be to tap the icon and see the note with an “open in browser” option so it would require 2 taps to get to the page.

Right now this app does not provide what I need.
