Undependable

When it works, it works fine. But there are days when it won’t save. Very annoying. So i’m still looking for the new Pocket.

Needs Update/Not Working

Logged me out and will NOT allow me to log back in (with Google). App appears broken; please FIX it!

Needs update!

The SHARE feature is no longer working on iOS18 on iPad. Please fix!

It’s working again!

I have been looking for an iOS 16 replacement for Keep Everything app, since it quit working. This one seems to archive entire sites, which is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks, Developer!

Won’t respond to requests to reset password

AVOID!! App is fine, customer service is awful. Won’t respond to password reset request. No reset instructions sent. Contacted them through email and form but n site and got no response at all. Watch out!!

No working text to speech feature

It doesn’t do what it is suppose to do. I downloaded the app to get a text to speech feature, but that doesn’t work at all. So Next step: delete and forget…

iPad Pro version limited settings no text only

The version I have on my Samsung phone is far more robust than the iPad Pro version, which doesn’t support text-only or image of articles in the list. Clicking on saved articles sends out to website.

App stopped working, will not open

As of Jan 15, the app stopped syncing. It was working up until then on my iPhone 8 Plus, but on my new iPhone 12 Pro Max, the app just crashes when I try to log in. It did not pick up my paid subscription or anything from iCloud either. Now, I cannot even get in the app. Stay away. No updates in a year either. Abandoned app?

English only?

I have tried this app - looks great. But trying to listen a saved article, I was unhappy: the app can not recognize the language of saved text and read e.g. Czech text in English voice. There is no setting allowing to set language.

Worked great at first

Send-to-kindle stopped working. Soon as they get that payment for Premium, they stop caring. Buyer beware.

Response from developer

Sorry for the trouble! Would you please reach us at support@paperspan.com along with the link(s) you are having problem sending to kindle? Thank you.

Funktioniert sehr gut!

Sehr einfach zu benutzen, funktioniert problemlos!

Keeps crashing

No regular updates.

Great start for version 1.0

This is a great start for version 1.0. However, in order to compete with Instapaper and Pocket long term, it will need to be more polished. Four things: 1) The website interface is ok, but need to add a "dark mode." 2) Need article saving extensions, not bookmarklets, for all major browsers. 3) In iOS app - When reading in article mode with everything but text stripped out, its to loose - the scrolling is not tight, I can move the column of text from side to side. 4) Need to offer a compeling feature that Instapaper & Pocket do not. If you can do those 4 things, you've got a winner.
