Simple, Great

Great reading list app! As the title says, this app is simple, which is why it’s great. It doesn’t try to do too much, it just works.

Appreciate the philosophy

But can we at least see the titles of what we have saved?

Thanks for the great app, it seems chrome extension need to upgrade to manifest v3

“This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions.”

Love the concept

Really like the idea and concept and could see myself using this app a lot more if a couple of things were fixed.

1. The quiche browser is awesome with built in ad blocking- why does this reader not block ads? I would love to be able to read this in more of an e-reader format, but at a minimum it should block ads by default.

2. It needs dark mode. I could see myself wanting to read articles later at night but I typically like to limit blue light after certain hours. I would love to have the articles offered in dark mode similar to the dark mode feature in the Quiche browser.

3. If I could download the article content to read later. Think this would be great for the plane where I could kill time reading articles I’ve set aside to read.

Otherwise I love the simplicity here. I saved things to Pocket from Firefox but I find myself almost never going back to read the articles I’ve saved. I think the simplicity from this reader would make me read the articles I’ve saved but I would like some of the same reader functionality where I’m closer to the content of the webpage instead.

Wonderful app

This app is absolutely wonderful. It’s EXACTLY what I needed, and I’m grateful it actually exists. Suggestion: the implementation of a widget displaying your next read would be interesting.

Cool app!

I’d love it if there was a menu shortcut in quiche browser that would let you save a page to quiche reader in 1 tap

Simple

Can’t compare it to any other read later app. It’s my favorite by far for being able to focus. The mind can’t multitask, no matter what you think hahaha

Perfect

I’ve been hunting for a clean, focused “read it later” app forever now and Quiche Reader more than delivers. The design is gorgeous, it works great, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Seriously, it’s something to be proud of.

No reader mode

The idea of the app is cool, but I really don't understand the lack of a reader mode, that standardizes colors and fonts for more comfortable reading. Same in their other app Quiche Browser. You guys should really add that feature.

Game Changer für fokussiertes Lesen

Großartige weil sehr einfache App, die genau das tut was sie soll und nicht mehr als das. Wenn man die App öffnet landet man immer im zuletzt gelesenen Artikel an genau der Stelle, an der man mit dem Lesen aufgehört hat. Erst wenn man diesen Artikel auf Snooze (Wiedervorlage) setzt oder archiviert, kommt man zum nächsten Artikel im Stapel. Neue Artikel werden quasi unter den Stapel gelegt. Für mich funktioniert das perfekt!

Work in progress !

Really good but need some improvement.
For instance, the PiP mode have to be fixed.
Im sending my appreciation for the app, with great potential.

Bugged and unusable

The app requires you to add an initial article at the tutorial screen before you can start using it. However, the ‘add to’ shortcut in Safari isn’t appearing. So the app is softlocked at the intro screen and unusable.

Response from developer

Quiche Reader is not "unusable." Please restart your device, and the share extension should be available. Sincere apologies for this inconvenience, but unfortunately you have encountered a notorious iOS bug where extensions of newly installed apps do not show up immediately in the share sheet. Many users reported this same issue and there's nothing I can do until Apple fixes it. Fortunately, restarting always does the trick. Feel free to reach out at greg@quiche.works if you have any question. Also, if your problem is solved, I would be extremely grateful if you could edit your review and rating, as it penalizes the app greatly in App Store rankings. Thank you very much.

Simple elegant app

I like the simplicity of the app and would love to see a few more options added. I hope the app is still being supported, as there hasn’t been any updates in awhile. Nice job on this beautiful app. Good to here, appreciate the quick response, and looking forward to what’s to come.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your review! I love Quiche Reader and it is definitely not abandoned 😊  As I'm working on my other app Quiche Browser, the endgame is to have both apps working closely together (e.g. fast save to Reader from Browser), and share some advanced features (reader mode, offline saving, etc.). Please stay tuned!

The Rare Perfect App

One of those few apps that I wouldn't change a single thing about. Private, free, simple, beautiful, and perfectly functional. Truly makes my life a little bit better.

Response from developer

And yet there are so many things I would like to improve... 😊 Thank you so much for your nice review!

No reader mode?

I might have missed something, but without a reader mode, it doesn’t seem very useful… There’s a reading list built in Safari.

Amazing read it later app

The only read it later app youll ever need. It's so simple - opens the pages youve saved one by one. Free and no frills - no text search, highlighting, or text-parsed view. But it performs foundational functionality super well: Pages open from paywalled sites after a single login, web views always open easily. Im blazing thru my reading list. God send.

Simplistic is fantastic

A simple solution to the problem of having too many tabs.

Response from developer

Useful app
