They could leave any files stored in iCloud (if applicable). I’d already performed an export when they must’ve sent an email about the site shutting down, but forgot to delete the app ### 1/5 — Can’t create account *2025-10-05, version 1.46.1* I cant’t create an account with email. It just doesn’t work. Disappointing… ### 1/5 — Cannot create an Account *2025-09-14, version 1.46.1* I cannot make it work :( ### 1/5 — Login issue *2025-09-06, version 1.46.1* Cant even get past signup page ### 3/5 — Self hosted is not logging in *2025-09-03, version 1.46.1* I just discovered omnivore today and I’m super excited, I managed to get a self hosted instance up after quite a bit of trial and error, but I cannot get the app to login to my instance. I’m able to use it through a browser and I’ve got the chrome extension working so everything’s good except for the app. For now, I’m gonna use it as a web app share to my home screen, and I can probably live with that, but it would be nice if the app worked especially since text to speech is an app only function ### 1/5 — I want to like it. *2025-08-26, version 1.46.1* But EVERY WAY of trying to set up an account fails. I've never seen anything like this any app. Edit: This app shut down months ago. Why is it still in the app store? ### 3/5 — Problem *2025-08-08, version 1.46.1* I'm trying to create an account in the app, but it always shows that there is a problem even though the email is correct? ### 1/5 — Penoso *2025-08-01, version 1.46.1* De repente deja de funcionar si previo aviso, no deja hacer Login y al carajo todos los enlaces guardados. ### 1/5 — Defunct service *2025-07-29, version 1.38* Not sure why this app is still up. The service is shut down. ### 1/5 — Login Issue *2025-07-15, version 1.46.1* I can’t login to Omnivore after the first installation ### 1/5 — Throws an error no matter how you try to sign in or sign up *2025-07-13, version 1.46.1* Developers have not paid any attention to login issues. I tried to switch to Omnivore but if I can’t sign up or Sign in with Apple, then there is no point. ### 1/5 — can't register with email or apple id *2025-07-05, version 1.46.1* useless... ### 1/5 — Huh? *2025-07-04, version 1.46.1* I can’t even set up account! ‘We are having trouble connecting to the internet’ is the message I’m getting… ### 1/5 — Россияне не поддерживаются *2025-06-19, version 1.46.1* Не работает в России ### 1/5 — ログインすらできない *2025-06-14, version 1.46.1* Can‘t even create an account! ### 3/5 — Broken? *2025-06-11, version 1.46.1* Used to love but stopped working and no app support. Wish I could use it again. Haven’t found a good replacement. So many start out good and then just stop working. Keeps happening. Any plans to fix it or provide app support? ### 1/5 — Abandoned 2025 *2025-06-11, version 1.46.1* Broken and Abandoned as of 2025. Developers, you were great, sorry it didn’t work out :( ### 2/5 — Broken? *2025-05-16, version 1.46.1* Used to love but stopped working and no app support. Wish I could use it again. Haven’t found a good replacement. So many start out good and then just stop working. Keeps happening. ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up *2025-05-05, version 1.46.1* Maybe the app is discontinued? With every attempt to sign up using Apple ID or my own login I get an error “something went wrong please try again” Restarted and uninstalled, still having the issue unfortunately. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t load, About page is a spam site *2026-03-15, version 1.46.1* I downloaded this app and tried on my iPhone and tried to create an account, first with Sign In With Apple and then with an actual email address. I just got a something went wrong message even after restarting my phone. The about page on the login screen goes to a spammy webpage rating different gambling sites. Steer clear until this is fixed. ### 1/5 — Discontinued and no longer supported *2026-03-08, version 1.46.1* Was a great app when in active development. It was sold and discontinued and is no longer supported. It should be removed from the App Store. ### 1/5 — Shutdown in 2024. Can't create an account *2026-02-24, version 1.46.1* The backend site that drives the app was shut down in late 2024! You cannot even create an account. Worse it takes you to a gambling site when you click on the built in "Read more" link Should not even be in the app store! ### 1/5 — App now defunct? *2026-02-22, version 1.46.1* Website redirects to a casino site, no ability to create an account or log in ### 1/5 — Can’t open account *2025-12-19, version 1.46.1* I tried twice with two different emails. Nothing. No link to a new account. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-12-06, version 1.46.1* Don’t bother. I moved all my bookmarks to this app…for this app not to work properly. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-07, version 1.46.1* I downloaded the app,but whenever I try to either log in via Apple or create an account “something went wrong”. Uninstalled ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2025-11-03, version 1.46.1* Tried with apple and with email, shows ‘something went wrong, please try again’ ### 1/5 — Can't log in. Unable to create an account. *2025-10-27, version 1.46.1* I can't create an account! After filling out the required fields, I always get the message "something went wrong, please try again later." ### 1/5 — Omnivore *2025-10-13, version 1.46.1* can’t sign in / sign up, kept saying “something went wrong try again later” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks omnivore *2025-10-02, version 1.46.1* This was such a great useful app & I will miss it. I appreciate the time it was available though. Sorry to see it end. ### 5/5 — App no longer functional *2025-03-27, version 1.46* Sad to see it go, hope they come back. ### 5/5 — Please don't go? *2025-02-11, version 1.46* Pretty please? ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-01-13, version 1.46* This has been so very helpful! Not only for saving what I want to read later, but playing it back when I don’t have time to read. ### 5/5 — Cbr açsın *2024-12-28, version 1.46* Güzel ama cbr dosyalarını açmıyor ### 5/5 — Devastated you’re closing down.. *2024-12-08, version 1.38* Headsup for anyone looking to download this app - yes it’s absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately they weren’t charging even a dollar, and they’re shutting it down. Absolutely gutted, loved loved loved this app. ### 5/5 — Best Reader! Don’t go away! *2024-11-20, version 1.46* I’ve been a Pocket and presently, a Matter user. I’ve not been entirely satisfied with either of those. Recently, I came upon Omnivore and it has restored my faith in strong and smart software development hinging on delivering a solid user experience. I read an email where they said they were joining ElevenLabs. I wish they would maintain and continue developing this app, or at least retain most of the UI design and interactions while grafting the AI voices onto it. I don’t like the Eleven Labs user experience or interface design. It’s not as polished as Omnivore. Crossing my fingers. ### 5/5 — Please don’t delete *2024-11-06, version 1.38* I have only just had this app about a month and it is perfect, seamless and simple and does exactly what I want it to do. Sadly seen today its being deleted the end of November 24. Such a shame! No other versions of read later apps are as good as this one ### 5/5 — Pretty great *2024-10-26, version 1.46* ^^ ### 5/5 — What a great find *2024-10-22, version 1.38* I'm thrilled that I found the Omnivore ecosystem. What an oustanding app, free and open source, that can finally replace Pocket and ReadItLater. It does everything they did for me, at least as well, and with remarkable simplicity and ease of use. Beautiful typography. A great iPhone app and a great web experience. Tags and power searching. Phenomenally powerful syncing to Obsidian. And an amazing, and free, text to speech that has me listening to Wikipedia or longreads like they were podcasts. I proselytize Omnivore to everyone I can. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
