### 5/5 — Beautifully simple

*2026-10-21*

This is the “read later” app I’ve always wanted. Please please please never turn this into a feature-bloated monster, like all apps seem to become over time. I love it for its simplicity and hope it stays that way.

### 5/5 — insanely great.

*2026-10-15*

Started great - an exemplar of carefully crafted, well considered, thoughtful and unobtrusive software - and just keeps getting better and better. If only all software was this well designed!

### 5/5 — Just what I need and More

*2026-10-15*

I have been using GoodLinks for some time, and it has been the best application for Reading on both my Mac and iPhone. Developer is also really responsive. 

The addition of the CLI and MCP server are game changers for me, before I had to build my own MCP to be able to manage my library but now it just works out of the box. 

Thank you Ngoc!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Fast and simple

*2026-10-15*

I like how simple and easy to use the app is. It also looks great.
My only wish is that it was available in Brazilian Portuguese.

### 5/5 — GoodLinks

*2026-10-15*

良い❗️

### 4/5 — Please add epub export

*2026-09-28, version 4.0.3*

*2026-09-26, version 4.0.3*

### 5/5 — Truly great app

*2026-09-24, version 4.0.2*

This is my go-to app for saving links. Wonderful implementation.

### 4/5 — If

*2026-09-24, version 4.0.3*

If this application was on the play store, it would be better

### 5/5 — Better than other apps

*2026-09-19, version 4.0.2*

I had Readwise and Pocket (RIP) and compared to those two I like this one best. It has a much cleaner set-up, its easy to export and import articles, and I can use it on all my IOS devices or as an extension. Really glad it’s not subscription based as well
