Great app but history has disappeared

I’d like to say this app is very handy for what I use it for which is saving an awful lot of news articles. I’ve been using it ever since it was first available.
Over that time I’ve saved tens of thousands of news articles because I was keeping a visual and literal history of certain types of news, but…
All those years on my pocket history have disappeared? I’ve tried sorting it by oldest articles first, but all I get is something from one year ago. There should be tens of thousands of saved clicks but all I can ever see is one years history.
I still love this app.
So I’m still giving you five stars.

It’s just a shame that decade of history has disappeared from my account.

The actual app is fantastic linked with my kobo. I’ve been trying to use my phone less and saving web pages to my kobo to read without being on my phone is super useful. Downside is I’ve only subscribed to these and I’ve started to get junk emails can’t be a coincidence 🫤

Uninspired

This is for mouthbreathers. No customization.

Buggy

The widget doesn’t work and wants me to sign in when I’ve already signed in. The saves tab also wants me to sign in when I already am. Sometimes tapping on an article opens a web wrapper to getpocket.com to read it instead of using the app.
