### 5/5 — The Best!

*2025-11-15, version 1.4*

I tryed a lot of Bookmark Manager but none of them was nice to us but Trace is very smart and the best bookmark Manager i know ❤️

### 5/5 — Solid app to save everything!

*2025-11-15*

I finally found an app that saves everything I need in one place, this is a solid keeper

**Developer response:** Thank you! Really glad to hear the app is useful to you

### 5/5 — Hands down! Best all in one app

*2025-11-15, version 1.4*

Link manager, Bookmark manager, macos cross sync. All in one master

### 5/5 — Ui/UX Looks very Beautiful looking like a wow and powerful.

*2025-07-03, version 1.2.6*

Loving it already! The interface is quite nice and it has some great features. There are some things I would like to see added like the ability to pin collections so they stay at the top, to delete tags, and to add tags on the same screen as when you’re editing a capture’s name and description. I’m definitely sticking with this one, because I see a lot of potential and I am PICKY about my bookmarking apps.

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — Absolutely my favorite IOS APP

*2025-03-05*

As a content creator, and just a person who loves photos and keeping things organized, this is the best thing since ice cream was invented because I can categorize all my photos and screenshots without having to go nuts, trying to find them very, very, very useful tool highly recommend

Can’t wait for an update for the video feature and then this app would be a freaking 10 out 10 for me

**Developer response:** Best thing since ice cream?!  I'm honestly speechless! Thank you for this amazing review - the video feature is coming and I can't wait to make this a 10/10 for you!

### 1/5 — I don’t know why this app is here

*2026-06-25*

I’m not sure I’ve had a disappointing experience with an app the way I have with this. I purchased this app last month, only for it to be a waste of my money. The app creators have ignored my initial complaint and no, I don’t need to hound service providers to ensure the service they advertised work. 

First of all, none of my articles I saved load despite setting the app’s reader as the default. 13 articles from 4 different unpaywalled websites. Not a single one saves with the extracted article: I do get a link intended to redirect me to the site I saved the article from, which defeats the purpose of me saving it in the first place. This is one of the issues I raised when I sent them an email. At that time, it was 2 websites and I specified them.

The syncing feature takes forever, to the point where, I haven’t even bothered to check if I have everything on the same devices, especially if you consider the first two issues. Connected to the syncing feature is this: when you save in Safari, it doesn’t automatically move to the app. 

Secondly, the space dedicated to the reader is smaller than the capture area. There’s more space for the captured items and the reader has 1/4 of the screen real estate. No, beyond a certain point, you cannot adjust it. If you’re a reader and you’ve used other reading apps, you know you don’t dedicate more real estate to displaying captures at the expense of the reader. 

I would have loved nothing better than to quietly use the app I purchased and go about my merry way but alas, wishes aren’t horses. Perhaps, if I’d seen a review like this, I would have stayed away. Hopefully, this helps you make an informed decision.

### 1/5 — Free Lifetime Trace scam

*2026-04-30*

Redeemed LIFETIMETRACE code back in November ‘25, fast forward to today and it’s offering me LIFETIME access for $40, was a cool app but how can you get away with this bait and switch? I already had Lifetime but now I have to pay to access it? Please help

### 1/5 — Said lifetime free but its not

*2025-02-03, version 1.2.2*

Not free

### 2/5 — 希望增加中文

### 3/5 — good app, but some bugs.

*2025-09-30*

love the apps UI and customization, but i have to force close the app and reopen it most of the time whenever i add a new picture or category. 

i also tried to email to give this feedback, but every time i select the option it says “email can’t be sent from this device” 

hopefully the kinks can be worked out, because the app is great otherwise.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and kind words!
Both issues have been fixed in the latest update.

### 3/5 — Good start!

*2025-02-01*

Love the tagging feature. Please bring stand alone notes and web extensions

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased to inform you that I’m already actively working on these two features, and they’ll be released in the next week or two. If you have any further questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to me at [hello@theblackholecompany.com](mailto:hello@theblackholecompany.com).

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-11-17, version 1.4*

The app is great it not only has a beautiful UI but is very useful. The only thing that it lacks is macbook compatibility , is that planned for the future?

### 4/5 — 👍

*2025-11-15*

Like this app because you can add reminder

**Developer response:** Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the reminder feature 😊

### 4/5 — Very good bookmark manager

*2025-08-30*

This has the potential to be my preferred bookmark manager. There are a few annoyances I’d like to see resolved to put it firmly over the top.

The UI is too “deep”, meaning it takes too long to get past the metadata to the content. Once I’ve drilled into a collection, I’d like to tap once to start reading, but instead I get the summary / caption screen and I have to tap again to get to the actual page. Related: it would be nice to have both “open link” AND “open in browser” in the context menu to bypass the reader entirely for sites I know to be badly behaved in the in-app browser / reader (which is usually fine, and I’d prefer to stay in-app when it works, and not have to drill all the way down when it doesn’t). 

I appreciate the configurability of the collection contents and captures views because I like lots of rows visible at once (so the “Compressed” view is great). I’d like to see that on the Collections view as well. I don’t care for the “3 item fan” icon, it’s not particularly useful and takes up way too much space. I only see 4 rows on my iPhone screen, and a truncated name and description in the tiny horizontal space allocated to them. I’d prefer being able to select an icon from one of the great open source icon collections out there so the “Compressed” row of the Collections view would have more room for item name and description. The “Compact” and “Compressed” rows could trade off 2 and 1 line descriptions to increase the number of collections on screen at once. 

Finally, when I installed the app on iPad after running on iPhone, it created a second “Uncategorised” collection, and new uncategorized captures on the iPhone go into one while captures on iPad go into the other (unless I tap the button that shows all collections and then guess which is which). Extremely minor quibble: let me edit the “Uncategorised” collection so I can use the American spelling of “Uncategorized” 😜. 

Apologies for the novel, but it’s an indication of how much I like the app that I took the time!

### 5/5 — Free Lifetime Trace scam (Updated)

*2026-05-05*

Redeemed LIFETIMETRACE code back in November ‘25, fast forward to today and it’s offering me LIFETIME access for $40, was a cool app but how can you get away with this bait and switch? I already had Lifetime but now I have to pay to access it? Please help

Update : Developer reached out and asked I SS the paywall pic and when I opened the app to do so the restore option was showing now and I hit restore and I’m back being a lifetime pro, love the app just was mad I lost Lifetime access for a bit

**Developer response:** Hey, really sorry about this, that should not be happening. If you redeemed LIFETIMETRACE back in November, your lifetime access should still be active.

Could you email me at hello@theblackholecompany.com with screenshot of the paywall? I'll get it sorted right away.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-21*

This app is worth every penny you spend. It was already a very useful and beautiful app, but in recent updates, it has become much smoother and faster.
Now, with the ability to categorize screenshots, and also the addition of the Mac version, I think everyone should have this app on their device.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, this genuinely made our day! We've put a lot of work into making each update feel faster and more polished, so hearing that it shows means everything. The screenshot categorization and Mac version are just the beginning, there's a lot more coming. Thanks for being along for the ride!

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-12-31, version 1.6*

iOS app very cool

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-12-14, version 1.5*

One of the must-have apps to be downloaded from the app store.

### 5/5 — 日本語希望

*2025-11-24, version 1.4*

素敵なアプリです。言語の設定で日本語が欲しいです。なんとなくで使えていますが、やっぱり日本語で使いたいです。とても使いやすいアプリなので応援しています。

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-11-22, version 1.4*

Excellent and very useful app. Thanks a lot

### 5/5 — Ein Augenschmaus!

*2025-11-17, version 1.4*

Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ein Lesezeichenmanager so gut aussehen kann. Ich wage zu behaupten, dass dieser wohl der stylischste Vertreter dieser Gattung ist. Auch technisch bleiben kaum Wünsche übrig. Ich habe meine 300 Bookmarks einfach per HTML-Datei importiert. Das Filtern über Tags ist wesentlich angenehmer als die Sortierung im Ordnern wie in meinem bisherigen Programm.
Ein Wunsch wäre, dass man bei Links von Webseiten die keine Screenshots mitliefern eigene Bilder einsetzen könnte.
Trotzdem: Unbedingt mal ausprobieren!

### 5/5 — Great bookmark Organizer

*2025-11-17*

The app looks clean and well-designed. 
One issue: Imported Chrome bookmarks show up as raw HREF links instead of proper URLs, which makes them hard to use. Fixing that would help a lot. A web dashboard to manage saved and imported bookmarks would also make the workflow smoother. Aside from these gaps, the app works as intended.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback!
The Chrome import issue is noted and improvements are planned. A web dashboard is also something I’m considering for the future.

### 5/5 — GOOD

*2025-11-16*

Very clean and practical

**Developer response:** Thank you! Glad you find it clean and practical 🙌

### 5/5 — Indispensable !

*2025-11-15, version 1.4*

Appli vraiment très pratique et belle réalisation. Je recommande à 100% sans hésiter. 
Très bien intégrée aussi.
