iOS only searches titles, not content
Ive come back to this app after procrastiplanning in all the other capture apps. Full text search works on MacOS. iOS search is limited to title only limiting the apps use while mobile. Also it would be nice to add a short note to saved pages. Sometimes the folders duplicate while syncing iCloud. Love all your other apps frfr.

Great, if you have Internet access.
While this is one of my favorite lesser-known apps, one of very few apps that actually deserves to be on the App Store, I do find it quite disappointing that I MUST be connected to the internet if I want to view webpages as they were saved. I get it, when there are lots of saved sites, even on the iPhone 17PM performance is horrendous. That being said, it's up to the user to manage their saved items, so I appreciate that it can be unlimited and would be upset if it wasn't. That being said, it's not TRULY unlimited, because in order to view a webpage, you must select the rich text icon in the center, and it will download styles from the CURRENT website, meaning if any css assets do not exist anymore, you can't view the page as it was in your "history book". Basically, History Book is just a really awful automatic screenshot app, without the screenshot part, that still requires internet access. I appreciate that I can view a version of the sites without styling, but it's ridiculous that only the core page is downloaded without any internal or external css. This is a massive limitation of the app and because of it, I don't ever recommend this app to anyone. You're better off screenshotting websites in full screen and saving them to a common location.

Good App, potential to be better
Good App, potential to be better. Wanted to ask the developer to add some features like tagging, and being able to search in each folder. The developer is non-responsive, emails get ignored. No updates to app, and basically - basic!
Very good thank you
Great app just works, iCloud sync, please add other sync options, iCloud fills quickly when using all sites.
Amazing history and read me later app!
Apart from a few missing customizability options:
- Folder in folders
- Different colored folders/icons
This app is actually really nice! I would love if you added an option to export a saved rich text straight from the share sheet to pdf though.

Handy!
Useful app for searching back through what I’ve read. I just wish there was an easy option to export the text from the app as a PDF.
Invaluable
This is an amazing app for research across multiple apple devices
Must have for students and researchers!
Family purchase friendly. If you web search on iOS safari and need to find an article you read in the past this is a very good utility. Useful when doing research papers or twitter battles. You have to turn it on in settings/safari/extension and it can only see stuff starting from when you turn it on.

This is a totally extraordinary app
This wonderful app just stays quietly in the background, saving text copies of the web pages you browse along with inline links to the images/graphics. You can set a time after which a page will be saved (e.g. if you spend more than 10 secs on a page). It's totally reliable, syncs between Mac and iOS devices, and is extremely space-efficient – I have something like 9000 entries in my History Book database, and they only take up a few megabytes. It's been invaluable for digging up references I'd failed to save elsewhere, and it's the first thing I would install on a new Apple device.

Useful lovely app
I hope a feature can be implemented that allows organizing links into folders based on keywords or domains.
While I appreciate the search feature for finding specific history, I personally find the current folder page rather redundant.

Almost perfect. Missing visible scrollbar though:
It’s tough to scroll on long pages when 1. I can’t just pretend the scrollbar is anywhere on the side and use it and 2. the scrollbar isn’t visible and the known position is required to use. I would like to see And A Dinosaur take it to the next level and allow me to scroll from any point on the scrollbar: reinvent the scrollbar please! You’re already halfway there! Also, this app seems very HTML5 oriented, so websites that don’t utilize the <article> and other HTML5 tags may not display. However, it works just fine and makes me much happier saving everything. The save delay is a slight concern, and hopefully it doesn’t ever become an issue. I can already foresee minor drawbacks of 1. not having a front-end optionally selected delay and 2. losing out on anything because the used delay was too short. I guess we’ll figure it out eventually. I always expected Apple to release this app, but I’m happy with how things have turned out.

Very Good
I do like it but any reason we can't have plugins for chrome and firefox?
Awesome with huge potential forward
I gave 5 stars because it works well even as the first version. But I think there is a huge potential to grow. and I would appreciate if the developer could include in the roadmap: better searching, tags and categories. Thanks!
Finally
I’ve been waiting for something like this since I first started using the web almost 30 years ago. Perfect design that does exactly what it should.
Works Great and is the coolest new app I’ve seen in a couple of years.
This is a fantastic extension. The design is nice and it does exactly what it says on the tin. I love that it emphasizes privacy and doesn’t rely on a subscription (though I’ll definitely be tipping from time to time if I can find a tip jar IAP).
It’s the rare app that still gives the “i can’t believe what my device can do” feeling from the early 2010s, but this is one of them.

Works great
Love how this app works. Remembers everything and the layout is great.
Would be great to have the option of parsing articles into folders from safari, and maybe a font of reading mode that utilizes something like the Bionic reading API or the dyslexia font to help with easier reading.
Still, Great app.

It doesn’t work
A waste of money. The app doesn’t save or search anything. Nothing happens, other than you get a bill from Apple.
Response from developer
Did you follow the "Getting Started" guide to set up the Safari extension?
