Just one request, please add a highlighting function and I would instantly pay for this app! ### 5/5 — Great too. *2026-04-03, version 2.5.3* It’s a perfect way to save content ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-30, version 2.5.3* Really like it so far, clean design, fast, elegant 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Just great ! *2026-03-23, version 2.5.3* Moved away from Matter ### 5/5 — Simply the Best *2026-03-11, version 2.5.2* Far superior to Instapaper or Readwise ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-03-11, version 2.5.2* Thank you! ### 5/5 — Beautiful design *2026-02-27, version 2.5.2* You don’t get highlights which is a norm for read later but you get pagination and ridiculously good UI and it’s all for free. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-02-19* If you were looking for an easy to use reading list application that syncs between your devices, look no further. While basic, it has a number of fantastic features. For me, I needed a simple Reading List app that would sync between my MacOS and iOS device. This application has been perfect! ### 5/5 — My New Favorite Read-it-later *2026-02-18, version 2.5.1* Simple and clean with great extension support. It works perfectly for everything I want it to do ### 5/5 — My go to read-it-later app *2026-02-04, version 2.5.1* After using for a few weeks I went in for a sub to support its development. Flyleaf is well designed and perfectly simple app that handles articles I want to read later. It’s easy to use and well designed. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-01-24, version 2.5.1* Great way to save articles, etc! ### 5/5 — A great mutli- platform alternative to Pocket *2026-01-16, version 2.5.1* This is an excellent alternative to Pocket. It works seemlessly across iOS, MacOS, and iPadOS. It is well worth the small cost and each update makes it better. After one year, my opinion hasn't changed. Flyleaf is a very useful tool for a very low price. Updates are frequent and largely new features or refinements versus bug fixes. I know there are plenty "Pocket like" apps out there and more browsers have integrated similar features, but Flyleaf is simply, intuitive, works seamlessly and syncs instantly across devices. The biggest positive is that you can use it...just pick it up and use it. There's no learning curve. I put it on my mom's iPhone. I said, "Here, build yourself a reading list and repository". Off she went. My 80 year-old mom started using it and never came back with a question. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2025-12-26, version 2.5.1* This app works just as it should. It saves my articles and is very easy to read ### 5/5 — Ein Traum wird Wirklichkeit *2025-12-23, version 2.5.1* Ich weiß gar nicht mit welchen Punkten ich anfangen soll. Diese App macht einfach alles Richtig was die anderen Read-Later-Apps falsch machen. - Toller Blättermodus - Tolles Design - Kein nerviges überteuertes Abo Vielen Dank für diese Tolle App!!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2025-12-21, version 2.5.1* This app took me a little time to figure out some of its features, but WOW! This is a wonderful replacement of Instapaper for me. Great work from the developers. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-12-21, version 2.5.1* Nice ### 5/5 — Unmatched Read-Later App of the World *2025-12-18, version 2.5.0* Having used all the options offered by the now-defunct Pocket app and Instapaper on a professional basis every single day for about a decade, I should admit and be proud of my admission that I could never imagine what I was missing before I discovered FlyLeaf! So, I must have been so lucky or liked by the stars to be blessed with a gem of an app in a beloved field of mine whose true beauty and added values I do cherish and appreciate every time I save something on FlyLeaf or go back to it with the anticipation of a kid to delve and dive in the sheer pleasures the app creates for each item as an extra value it creates beyond the existential value birthed by the original author of the work. I remain indebted and grateful to the FlyLeaf team forever! ### 5/5 — Great design and UX *2025-12-14, version 2.5.0* The developer really spends time on the UX as the app is really easy and a joy to use ### 5/5 — The Best Read-Later App I’ve Ever Used *2025-12-14* I've used many read-later apps, and this is by far the best reading app I've ever used on iOS. I just wish it offered a one-time purchase option instead of a subscription. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Sehr gut mit Einschränkung *2025-03-21, version 2.2.2* Die Verbesserung „Beim Hinzufügen eines Tags wird nun die komplette Liste der verfügbaren Schlagwörter angezeigt“ funktioniert nicht auf meinem iPhone 16 Pro Max unter iOS 18.3.2 ### 4/5 — Hands down the only app that makes reading enjoyable *2026-01-23, version 2.5.1* Only knocks are that there’s no one time payment option….id pay $100 for this to have a perpetual license and there’s no ability to use on device ai to summarize which is a bummer (and no ability to highlight or take notes which is also a bummer) ### 4/5 — Update Flyleaf *2025-05-12, version 2.2.2* Sieht gut aus, mal abwarten wie es sich im praktischen Alltagsbetrieb auswirkt ### 4/5 — Great app missing one thing *2025-05-11, version 2.2.2* Great read later app, has nearly everything I want, just needs to add highlighting & highlights export and it would be perfect ### 4/5 — Tolle App *2024-10-05, version 2.1.0* Hab mir die App aufgrund eines Artikels angeschaut. Sieht toll aus und funktioniert bisher super. Was ich mir wünsche, ist eine deutsche Lokalisierung (Insbesondere bei einem deutschen Entwickler). Das wäre toll. ### 5/5 — Unbeatable *2026-08-19, version 2.6.2* Absolutely phenomenal reading experience. Love everything about it ### 5/5 — Best read later app! *2026-07-30* Finally found exactly what I’ve been looking for … I’d say it has no frills, but actually it has the perfect amount of frills: it’s handy being able to adjust font & colours and the discover view layout. But it’s not bloated, not expensive (and the free tier is actually useable and doesn’t block anything foundational, I respect that a lot). Also, the developer is responsive and seems like a cool person. ### 5/5 — Best Reader on iOS *2026-07-25, version 2.6.2* I wouldn’t be without this delightful app anymore! Great support from the dev, reliable, and intuitive. ### 5/5 — Mon avis *2026-07-20, version 2.6.1* Manque une traduction en français. ### 5/5 — Read articles like a book *2026-07-18, version 2.6.0* If you prefer reading articles like a book, rather than scrolling Flyleaf is the best option out there. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-06-22, version 2.6.0* If you were looking for an easy to use reading list application that syncs between your devices, look no further. While basic, it has a number of fantastic features. For me, I needed a simple Reading List app that would sync between my MacOS and iOS device. This application has been perfect! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-06-06* It does everything so well! Thoroughly recommended ### 5/5 — A top notch Read it later service *2026-04-19, version 2.5.3* I haven’t seen any read later app on iOS that comes closer to Flyleaf. I benefited from the free version so much that I’ve decided to subscribe to the service for a month or two so it could benefit the creator. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ### 5/5 — love it *2026-04-11, version 2.5.3* perfect replacement for Pocket, and quite possibly better ### 5/5 — great app *2026-04-08, version 2.5.3* This is the minimalist beautiful read it later app I was looking for. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
