## What is NetSnips?

Stop opening dozens of browser tabs every day. Track your favorite web pages with NetSnips!

NETSNIPS SAVES YOU A LOT OF TIME - USE IT FOR EVERYTHING!
Use NetSnips for your weather forecast, stock changes, upcoming movies, sport team standings/scores, daily cartoons, social network updates - whatever you like! There are endless possible applications. If you liked macOS web clips, you will love NetSnips!

NETSNIPS IS SIMPLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE
First navigate to any webpage. Then scroll and zoom to the page area in which you are interested most (ex. weather forecast). Define the size of your web snippet… Done! Your first web snippet is ready and from now on it shows you the actual content of the web page. In this way you can add as many web snippets as you like and arrange them on multiple pages to create your own personalized wall of information. Seeing that all your snippets are continuously updated, you will discover changes on any webpage immediately!

NETSNIPS IS SMART AND FAST
Page reloadings are annoying, hence NetSnips tries to reduce them as much as possible. Immediately after starting the app, you can see the last state of your web snippets. NetSnips updates your snippets in an intelligent way, for example it brings first your currently visible snippets up-to-date and loads remaining ones afterwards. Moreover it keeps all webpages as long as possible in memory, in order that you can seamlessly expand a webpage in full screen with a single tap on your snippet.

### 5/5 — I never review

*2024-05-12*

Wonderful app, simplistic and very powerful. 
Thank you!

### 4/5 — notification on a page change

*2021-02-18, version 3.8.3*

can the app notify me if there is an update on a clipped site?

### 3/5 — Please add widgets!

*2020-09-28, version 3.8*

This would be the best Home Screen web widget app if you guys added the new functionality for ios14. Would be amazing to get these widgets this easily and clean on the Home Screen. Hopefully that’s in your roadmap!

### 3/5 — Selection is quirky at best.

*2020-04-05, version 3.7.1*

The concept is great, and I paid for it for that alone in hopes that it can continue to improve. However the selection of content on a website is really “quirky”, and wont stick for some reason on most sites I’ve tried. This seems due to the selection being by pixel x-y coordinates rather than the DOM tree. If we could get a DOM Element Select option, this app would be amazing and a daily use. As is, unfortunately it’s something I will just be stuck keeping an eye on.

### 5/5 — Admire the developers

*2019-11-15, version 3.7.1*

Some tech giants are trying to steal our data, while others want to make a difference.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-10-02, version 3.6.4*

Thanks for such a great app, but i would love to have full width webpage in the maximized widget mode ( not the thumbnail in the black rounded frame)

### 5/5 — A clever and unique utility

*2019-08-10, version 3.6.4*

I’ve had this app for a number of years and it’s a very clever concept that takes bookmarks to another level.  I can control the thumbnail which makes it easy to identify the sites I want to visit.

Kudos for the developer for the app and for keeping it updated!  Thank you!!

### 5/5 — great dev

*2019-07-11, version 3.6.4*

had an issue with compact mode and he got a fix out within a week. app definitely gets the job done.

### 3/5 — Good idea, but...

*2018-05-17, version 3.5.1*

Cannot shrink or rearrange snippets and they overlap.  Does not look like examples given.  Needs fixing.

**Developer response:** You can rearrange snippet by long-tapping on a snippet.

### 4/5 — Works ok

*2017-05-07, version 3.3.2*

It works as advertised. Missing features I wish to be implemented:
- zoom / scale: if a snippet can be scaled to be a smaller size, more info can be seen in a small screen. 
- background refresh: obviously missing
