### 5/5 — Share menu?

*2024-11-08*

Does this support the IOS share sheet ?

### 5/5 — can’t find LinkThing in share menu

*2024-06-02*

can’t find LinkThing in share menu

### 4/5 — Best case scenario for iOS app

*2024-01-20*

For my use case, the bookmaret is a better solution but if you want an app to browse your linkding’s this app is absolutely better than using the mobile website. For me the lack of sharing directly to it and the lack of auto-complete for tags is what makes the bookmarklet better. For now. Definitely will be checking in from time to time and will be following on GitHub.

### 5/5 — Top!

*2023-12-29*

Schöne App für Linkding, wird hoffentlich weiter gepflegt und mit neuen Funktionen versehen! Gerne auch eine Spendenfunktion einbauen, um die Entwicklung zu unterstützen.

### 3/5 — A good start

*2023-08-16*

Nice to have a linkding client for iOS and I like the base UI but definitely needs work. The unread filter needs to exist for individual tags so you don’t have to type !unread to filter that way, and you should be able to save those filters or at least support opening linkding URLs so I can extend it with Shortcuts. On that note, needs share sheet actions. A widget would be cool too.

### 5/5 — Finally an iOS client for Linkding !

*2023-07-25*

Beyond the missing integration with the share menu (but maybe it is planned for a future release ?), it works just like intended in a nice designed and native app !!! Good job and thank you :) !

### 4/5 — Simple and nearly feature complete

*2023-05-31*

I wish it would show tags next to each link and also provide for a way to find untagged links to make organizing a little easier. Otherwise it works great and I love it.

### 5/5 — Como Pinboard pero autoalojado

*2023-03-30*

Para los que autoalojamos servicios este tipo de aplicaciones son una bendición. Gracias

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-24*

Very grateful to finally have a comprehensive mobile client for my self-hosted bookmark manager. Very easy setup and configuration. Just works.
