So far the use of Abyss has been satisfactory and works as expected. I don’t do reviews often and it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get 5 stars 🌟 out of me but I have been using Abyss for a while now so I thought I would give it its due

Thank you for such a kind review! 🥳

Not an actual read later app

Interesting concept and I will keep an eye on this app, but for now I will continue to use my regular Read Later app.

This app is, to a certain degree, misleading as it is not a read later app. It is a bookmarks app. You store bookmarks, assign tags etc. but then you open an in-app browse and read the article on the actual website. An actual read later app retrieves the articles, stores them for offline usage and presents them in a distraction free environment. This app does not do that. Hopefully it will do this in the future.

big update!!!

[PROS] - new icon looks great - tweak what you save from the share sheet <3 - way easier to navigate and view tags [CONS] - kinda laggy, specifically when doing swipe actions and dragging to select - squid icon is gone ),:

Thanks for the review! Abyss does include a share sheet app, sometimes you have to enable it if it doesn't show. Scroll to the end of the share sheet apps, tap 'More' and you'll find it there. Enable it if it isn't by default! 🙌🏼 Edit: If it's not showing up, rebooting the device usually fixed the issue! I've heard from some people in your same situation and rebooting the device usually fixes it! 🤞🏼

Custom app icon?

What happened to my cute squid app icon I could choose before? I dislike it when options are taken away.

Wonderful application!

My one issue, if you can even call it an issue, would be: Is there Pinboard support? I love it for some of the organization/pruning tools. Thanks and keep developing Abyss!

Edit: Looking forward to the next release :)

Thanks or the review! I'm not planing on adding Pinboard support at the moment, but I'll keep it in the back oh my head just in case. Never say no!

Simple, effective, awesome

Just what I was looking for - simple, effective, clean solution to the problem of drowning in open tabs. Everything works as advertised. Also, great to have a read-later app that doesn’t record your personal data, like most others seem to. Looking forward to v2, and offline viewing.

Thanks for the kind review! Stay tuned for v2, it's going to be very good!

Works great

Would it be possible to add links to abyss with the share sheet?

Thanks for the kind review! It is, if Abyss is not showing up on the share sheet, you might need to enable it (scroll to the end of the list and tap "More") or reboot your device, there's an iOS bug that sometimes prevents apps from showing up on the share sheet!

XAVI is the man!

Awesome dev, this guy is brilliant. He thought outside the box, literally. Knowing the vast majority of us Apple users have iCloud storage he was all like “why don’t we utilize their iCloud storage for bookmarking stuff, instead of their precious iPhone/iPad storage” and BOOM!! Problem solved :)

Straightforward and lightweight

I was looking for a simple read later app without any of that recommendation nonesense. Abyss is no frills and I appreicate the sync via iCloud doesn't require me to create an account to access my links across iOS/iPadOS/macOS. The in-app purchase is also a reasonable price for reasonable features that doesn't ever nag you
