The best!

I’ve used every read it later app in the store and Omnivore is the best for the way I want to use this type of app. Hands down!

I like to read through headlines in my RSS reader, Twitter, or Mastodon, and when I see something interesting, save it until the end of the day when I have more time to read. This app handles that use case perfectly and renders the text more accurately than any I’ve used, without dropping large portions of the article or throwing annoying paywalls in your way constantly.

If you want to use this in the way I do, I highly recommend giving Omnivore a look. It’s a great application and I’m loving it!

iOS and web versions are better

The MacOS app is ok - I can't see to find a way to easily update my feeds/inbox or see my Omnivore email like I can in the iOS app or browser version

Mac app is of very limited value

As others have said for over a year, limited functionality, a very scaled down app. Of course please remember that this is Open Source and free, so if you don't like it, please fix it. I know it's beyond my skill.

Has potential

I really like how I can setup an email to have my newsletters be sent to you guys directly and shown in the app.

Would be if I could hit a button and get a good summary of each newsletter.

Please fix the newsletter feed scrolling, it’s not smooth. Feel free to reach out

Different UX than website and mobile apps

I'm a huge fan of Omnivore, and have it installed on all my devices. Yet, for some inexplciable reason, the MacOS app is a different, scaled-down version of the real app. Why wouldn't they just mirror the web app?

Awesome tool to use with obsidian!

Really nice, simple.

Daily driver so good

I use it to connect to all my media, email subs and obsidian for note taking

Works so well

This is perfect, an RSS reader and plain text reader for articles, all in one. Works exactly the way it should, and has no bloat or commercial suggestions the way that some alternatives that begin with the letter P do.

Great concept

Finally I have a way to save articles of interest to read later at my leisure, in a simple and stripped down format.

Best read-it later app

This app is fantastic and the integration options make it incredibly dynamic. Support FOSS!
