## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — not recommend

*2020-06-11*

This app is free for download without any meaningful functions unless you pay for the subscription.

### 1/5 — Is there anything worth taking subscriptions?

*2018-11-21*

Have you just provided even anything worthy for $9.9 subscription? How dare you!

——update——
就如下面一条评论所说，我还没见过只提供简单的所谓阅读服务就能收9.9$每月。敢问，文章内容是否原创？不是原创？付过版权费征求过转载同意吗？是否有很大价值？还foreign articles呢？我找个百度翻译也不找你呀。本来看着是国内开发者想着支持一下就付费买了，结果发现是这么个玩意儿。且不谈内容，光收费我就得喷你。

### 2/5 — why subscription?

*2018-06-08*

我不认识在没有服务端，功能相对简单的 App 值一年 9.9 刀的订阅。

### 3/5 — Поменял свою оценку

*2022-01-06*

Был очень доволен этим приложение пока однажды синхронизация не остановилась. Точнее она началась заново без тех статей, которые синхронизировались ранее. Я удалил приложение на одном из устройств и чуть не потерял все статьи. Хорошо успел вытащить с другого.

Плюс разработчик перестал развивать приложение. 
Ушел пробовать другие.

### 3/5 — Great app but subscription cost is too high

*2019-02-15*

Would be a 5 star review otherwise

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-07-15*

The perfect read it later app. It stores the whole article, not just a link, so you can catch up on your reading even when you don’t have internet.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-09-05*

I love your app man! Don’t stop the updates

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-07-11*

And it’s free

### 5/5 — Best app on the AppStore for reading online content

*2020-06-30*

This is by far one of the best applications I’ve ever used for managing my reading list across all my devices. I couldn’t believe I’d found this app anywhere other than the top charts of the AppStore, I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — 非常好用的软件

*2019-03-18*

对于重度外语学习者来说非常有用，查单词，听读音都非常方便，只是还不清楚【笔记】功能要怎么用，听说下一个大版本有阅读文章的功能，看来开发者非常明白用户的需求—听说读写的全面提升。希望大家下载体验。

### 5/5 — 单纯支持一下

*2019-02-07*

本来没觉得这个软件有用，下了试一下就删了，也觉得9.9有点贵了。但是开发者一个人自己开发的软件当然有自己定价的自由啊，而且也是可以免费试用的啊，这么多戾气重的人，当然要祝他们早日爆炸喽。

### 5/5 — 试用了一下，很不错

*2018-06-20*

小而美

### 5/5 — Simple, elegant.

*2018-06-08*

Elegant small app just like author’s other apps. Hope author can add undo button when someone accidentally clicked “archive”.
