Love it

Although itโ€™s a free app but I feel I have paid for this app. It has many services

Great app

Ominovre is fantastic. But DON'T USE THE MAC DESKTOP APP, it's barely functional. Enable the extension in your browser and use that instead.

Overall Omnivore is fanastic though, using a combination of web interface on desktop and app on iPhone. The way it combines saved articles and feeds is very useable

best read it later app right now

I've used a lot of read it later platforms. I used Notion for awhile, Pocket, and even saved a lot of stuff to Raindrop (which I love), but none have the fuctionality and ease of use of this app. The ability to highlight text, add notes, tags, save PDFs, and the text to audio is also amazing. Support Omnivore! Fantastic app.

Decent

Good app but the highlight feature does not work in โ€œreaderโ€ view in Safari on iphone or ipad. This means, if I want highlighted text, I have to remember to hide the reader view, then highlight the text, then use the share menu to save to Omnivore. Maybe this has more to do with Appleโ€™s interface and less how the app does not perform. However, itโ€™s unlikely that Iโ€™ll try to remember to do one more thing whenever Iโ€™m saving content. I do like the notes feature which is probably what Iโ€™ll use.

Sweet spot of RIL apps!

Some were too busy, some were too pricey, others were didn't support enough platforms.

This one is just right! Plus being open source means, you are free to extend it in any way you absolutely need.

I judge myself for not have found it soone in my life!

Love it

So great. Makes it a breeze to catch up on all the news. Especially while there is so much. The only thing I could wish for is an option to create a playlist so I can load multiple articles and have them play without having to pick up my phone to reload the next.
Still, fantastic idea well executed

Excellent tool!

Thank you very much

Free but fantastic

I cannot believe a free app can be such functional and fantastic. I prefer this app to Pocket and Instapaprt.
I hope the developer team don't make it paid app.

Good but improvement needed

Recently downloaded Omnivore and strongly considering it to become my new read later app, and to replace Pocket. I love the ability to add a note to my saved articles and I appreciate the highlight feature. Overall, my initial thoughts are itโ€™s good but needs improving. It crashes when scrolling in card view and there are quite a few clicks/taps when initially saving through the share menu. I canโ€™t wait for the next major update!

Great but why so many clicks?

I recently went on a quest to find a better bookmark / read it later app. I had been using Pocket and before upgrading to the paid version, I did a quick evaluation and am glad I did. I narrowed my selection to Pocket, Raindrop and Omnivore and landed on Omnivore - not because of cost but features and usability. I wanted to save references, add notes, search and easily find what I saved (not just the link but search the content of the link) and add tags. Omnivore comes pretty close to nailing it and I only have two issues that I hope are resolved soon. First the rendering of saved pages is pretty bad and almost always have to click the original link to render in browser. Second and most important to me, the number of clicks (touches) is maddening. I want to save an item, type a note (maybe) and add a tag or two or many (they call them labels), save and move on. This is cumbersome at best. Hope this process is streamlined significantly in future release. But overall, on the right track.

Response from developer

Hi, if you swipe the extension to the right you can change the label entry mode to a different view that might be easier for you
