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. ### 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 ### 4/5 — iPhone 6, iOS 8 *2015-04-26, version 3.2.1* Great app has a lot of potential ### 3/5 — Good App, Only Getting Better *2014-12-24, version 3.2* Was looking for an app to monitor auctions beyond E-bay. NetSnips is a much needed tool that I have only begun to find uses for. It allows you to grab a piece (snippet) of a web page and hold it in a very basic visual layout. The beauty of it for my auction tracking is, it holds the web address and a single tap on the snippet refreshes the page revealing the current auction status. Voila, simple auction tracking. Peruse the auction site from within the snippet, back out with a tap, on to another snippet to review another item and/or auction site without logging on and without typing in repetitive search criteria. Kind of like Bookmarks or the Reading List in Safari but more visual. Think stock quotes, sports scoreboards, movie listings, flight info, package status, fantasy data, weather forecasts as other possible snippets opening refreshed. Buy and use this app, it's like a hammer; no telling what you can do with it. ### 4/5 — unique app, well done *2014-02-06, version 3.0.1* really cool app, does what it says cleanly. at first I didn't believe the description but it's spot on. ### 5/5 — Does what it says! *2014-01-12, version 2.1.1* I have a lot of respect for this developer. ### 5/5 — A Cut Above the Rest! 👍 *2013-08-22, version 2.1.1* I love this app! Just downloaded and went "pro" immediately because it's truly amazing! As a busy mom of two (6 and 8), it helps me stay up to date with work, social life and kids school updates (among other things). I already shared your app with family members, too. Can't wait to see what comes next! ### 5/5 — wow it rules *2013-07-25, version 2.1* never seen this kind of app before. great concept, useful app, perfect for updating stocks or gold price. worth to buy guys. ### 3/5 — REQUEST: Landscape Orientation - PLEASE!!!! *2013-04-02, version 2.0* This is a VERY solid app and could be five stars if it had an option or automatically flip to Landscape mode. I still highly recommend this app - I just can't use in in my landscape mount :( ### 5/5 — Coming back to write review and I never do this. *2013-04-01, version 2.0* This app needs to be part of the IOS. Best app I've seen in a long time. Full price app! 5 star ### 3/5 — Needs real time support *2013-04-01, version 2.0* App works great and has a clean interface but it doesn't support snipping of objects that change automatically. App only shows a static screenshot and then refreshes at the interval you set in the options screen. I was hoping to use this to snip live stock market transactions that update in real time. Plus it would be nice if the app allowed you to set bookmarks so you don't have to type the web address each time you want to add a new snippet. Having to entire the website address each time for adding multiple snips from the same website is a waste of time. **Developer response:** Due to memory limitations in iOS, we cannot offer live updates for multiple web pages. A lot has changed since your review, so you might want to give the app a second try! :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — great concept, but doesn't work.. *2016-11-06, version 3.3.2* Widget doesn't update -- ever. It just shows the old cached page from the first time you set it up. There are very few apps that offer web widget functionality -- and like this one , most of them don't work. ### 1/5 — Poor design *2014-03-01, version 3.0.2* Great idea. Terrible implementation. Crash after crash. Resizing is so difficult as to be almost impossible. I hope they get this app working and fix all the interface issues, because it is a neat idea. ### 1/5 — So deceptive *2013-10-08, version 2.1.1* Great idea, poorly done. The composite page you design takes ages to load. It would actually take less time to go and check every page than waitfor all the snippets to load. And actually, most of them just don't load at all... Another very annoying limitation: impossible take a snippet of a traffic map. Will delete if no update is developed rapidly. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Make it work for iPad *2013-01-12, version 1.3* This app sounds like a useful tool. However, it doesn't work well on my iPad. I was trying to save weather info but it displayed different info. Deleting the saved piece didn't work. ### 1/5 — Ipad? *2012-09-14, version 1.1* Why not a ipad version? ### 2/5 — Misleading *2016-07-05, version 3.3.2* This seems like a good app, but it's very misleading. It says it's free, but once you make two snippets you're informed it costs $4 to make any more. That should have been made clear from the start; It definitely would have been more than two stars if that were the case. Now I'm just frustrated and disappointed. You really shouldn't do that to your users. I don't even have that much on my iTunes balance... **Developer response:** We see it differently: We offer you an ad-free version of NetSnips completely without any costs or obligations. You can use it with up to 2 web snippets forever, but if you want to have more snippet and see value in the app you CAN purchase it. Doesn't that sound fair? ### 2/5 — Not Quite Enough *2015-04-28, version 3.2.1* The one crucial missing element is a notification that a page has changed by banner or sound. Without it, simply refreshing with Safari is just as good. ### 2/5 — No landscape mode *2013-07-10, version 2.1* No landscape mode on iPad? That's very Stone Age! ### 2/5 — I might be the ONLY ONE, "but" *2013-03-31, version 2.0* I just don't get it! I don't know how to navigate or do what these app claim it does ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I never review *2024-05-12* Wonderful app, simplistic and very powerful. Thank you! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome, useful app *2016-02-23, version 3.3* The developer provides consistent updates, and the app itself is wonderfully useful. Powerful at what it does, but still very easy to use. I check it several times a day easily. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed! *2015-02-18, version 3.2.1* I found this little gem yesterday, and after a couple of minutes using it, I HAD to buy the full version. As a shirt designer (Primitive Tool), I often have multiple designs up for voting at different sites. I keep opening tabs to monitor each one of them in my phone browser. Thanks to this app, I have them all in the same screen, updating automatically for me. I would love to see notifications in the future, maybe a way to know if anything has change on the snips if the app is closed. Keep up the excellent work! ### 5/5 — A real treat *2015-01-30, version 3.2* I love it and it is a pleasure so far ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2014-01-30, version 3.0.1* I really really like this app! It's my one stop all app for different sites that I check on a day basis on the web. If you check more than on site daily then this is an app for you. ### 5/5 — Innovative & Useful *2014-01-20, version 3.0* Increases the functionality of iPhone and really makes one wonder why no one thought about it earlier. Developer is also responsive and instills faith in the users about his commitment to continue enhancing this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
