I paid for this app, but they killed that version
No longer works
all with my iPad is 26.
Doesn’t work
Ok, but could be better

This is a great concept and I downloaded it after hearing about it on Chris Williams modern wisdom podcast. The app doesn’t work well and I would not have paid for it in hindsight. BUT, the bigger issue is that it is impossible to cancel the reoccurring charge. They bill through a third party, GUMROAD, which is a total scam. There is no contact info, and the number I finally found through AMEX goes to a recorded voice message that lists a misspelled email contact that bounces back.
What have you done?
Works really well
It seems like what it’s doing is just converting the articles to the epub format, kicking them to the kindle app and letting it do the transfer. All good with me as long as it works, which it does.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I hate subscription based software, and I don’t think I’ll use this enough to warrant the cost of premium.
If you made a reasonable one time purchase option for a lifetime subscription, I’d buy it. But for now I guess I’ll just use the free version sparingly. 🤷🏻♂️
Doesn’t work, no support team

Sorry for the late response to this. The login is only for paying subscribers. But you can use Push to Kindle for free without a subscription (so no logging in) to send up to 10 articles a month. We have a getting started page here: https://help.pushtokindle.com/article/9-getting-started-ios-appIf you have any trouble, please feel free to email us: help@pushtokindle.com
Unusable
Response from developer
Sorry for the late response to this. To edit the email address you need to tap the Edit button and choose send by Kindle email (by default it produces an EPUB that you can share via the iOS Kindle app).The login button is only for paying subscribers. You can use the app without a subscription if you don't send more than 10 articles a month. If you'd like to try it again, please feel free to email us at help@pushtokindle.com if you have any issues.
Just love it. Such a great product.
Works great

Many thanks for the updated review, Adrien. Please do let us know if you experience any issues and we'll be more than happy to help.

Hi Adrien, could you please also try the 'Share EPUB' send mode? You'll have to have the Kindle app installed on your iOS device so you can select it. It takes a few more taps than the Kindle email method currently. If you'd like us to try and figure out why the email method is not working for you via the app, please email us at help@pushtokindle.com and we'll do our best to help.
The best way to get longform articles onto Kindle!
Bait and switch
Response from developer
Hi there, quick reply to let you know that if you bought our app a few years ago (where we offered it only as a paid app), you can still download that version of the app. It is not for sale any more, and we no longer develop it, but we didn't pull it from users who'd already purchased it. It will still be in your iOS library to re-install. We think the new app is better, however, and we offer 10 free credis a month without asking for payment. To send more than that using the new app, we do now require a subscription. Push to Kindle is a niche product and we could not sustain development using the previous model. But we don't think it's fair to characterise the change as "bait and switch" considering we had the same pay-once model for many, many years (more than 10 years on Android) and have only recently made the change. And we did it without forcing existing users who'd already paid for the previous app to pay again.
