### 1/5 — Needs Update/Not Working

*2025-01-26*

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

### 1/5 — Needs update!

*2025-01-21*

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

### 1/5 — No working text to speech feature

*2022-02-19*

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…

### 1/5 — App stopped working, will not open

*2021-02-05*

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?

### 1/5 — give a manual sync button,

*2020-09-06*

read later sync not working properly on ipad

### 1/5 — Worked great at first

*2020-01-24*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2018-04-28*

No regular updates.

### 2/5 — Undependable

*2025-12-10*

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.

### 2/5 — Won’t respond to requests to reset password

*2022-09-30*

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!!

### 2/5 — iPad Pro version limited settings no text only

*2022-01-09*

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.

### 5/5 — It’s working again!

*2023-02-02, version 2.3*

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!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert sehr gut!

*2019-01-10*

Sehr einfach zu benutzen, funktioniert problemlos!

### 5/5 — Superb

*2018-03-27*

Really amazing very useful for offline reading

### 3/5 — Great start for version 1.0

*2017-01-30*

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.

### 2/5 — English only?

*2020-02-24*

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.
