Broken

Not updated in 3 years and seems very broken now.

Frustration with potential

I am slightly frustrated at this app, it could be very very good.
My issue is the suggested articles it is giving me. I have a wide range of options to choose from, but mostly it gives me the same sorts of articles on ‘self improvement’. This is great, but I have ticked 17 other interests which are not really coming up at all.
Also I asked the function to give me articles on history, and it just has completely ignored it.
So in summary, it needs to vary what it sends me to read as I was hooked at the start and it’s just not hit the spot since.

Not working on iOS26

The sharing button feature or „adding a link to my bookmarks at refind“ isn’t working for me since I upgraded to iOS26

Daily Curiosity Dosis

I use refind since more than 1000 days and it is still running strong in 2025!

Refind is my source for inspiration and new topics and new sources as an addition to the feedreader which is more of an echo chamber.

Workflow is: Scanning Refinds findings, sharing them to Goodreads and then transferring the highlights and parts I would like to work with to Obsidian. Works like a charm ;)

Hoping that more people come on board and Dominik will keep it running.

Refind is incredible, app is lacking.

The app hasn't been updated in a year and I can't get the navigation to work properly in it when I open up an article I'm not able to close out of it and read another one without having to force close the entire half

REFIND - Brain food - Daily

Great information! “quick” reads! Tailored to your interest! YOU choose what YOU have a interest in reading & it is sent to your in-box daily or to your liking! I HIGHLY recommend you give this REFIND App a “Try” the information is short quick straight to the point! Most 5 minute or less reads! Valuable information. ** I don’t have a lot of time in my life to give to wasted information, with an OVER abundance of information out there, REFIND is a place you can “Go to” to find a “quick” read if you just want to sharpen your knowledge on topics you wouldn’t think about looking up yourself. REFIND also let’s you “TELL THEM” what interests you! No filter *** VERY simple, you check the topic box that interest you, they send you quick short easy reads to your inbox daily! NO Ads trying to sell you “stuff” you don’t need or want! GIVE REFIND A TRY! *FYI… I have NO affiliate to REFIND- Brain Food I came across REFIND a couple mos. ago & it looked interesting! I was randomly asked to leave a review! J. Russell

Refind = Awesome!

Love this app! It’s easy to keep up with what’s happening - just the right stuff without all the blather.

Awful customer service

I had to change my rating from a 4 star to a 1. I tried purchasing premium since I enjoyed the app, but all it did was charge my card and I received nothing. No premium and no email to confirm my purchase. I’ve messaged the owner twice on the app with my concern but I got no response. I sent an email, no response. I can’t even cancel this “subscription”, my card is just being charged for no reason with NO way to stop it. The fact that the owner sends a message and an email asking for a five star review but can’t even have good customer service is ridiculous. Just stick with free if you want to use this app.

Refind is a worthy app

Great app to get interesting reading material that is great for conversation! I always find at least one article a day to read.

Refind

A great mix of information that is interesting and informative

Refind is a great tool!

Refind is my first click in the morning- for over 650 days in a row. It’s a quick read of what I find most interesting and thought provoking. I highly recommend.

Enjoying Refind

In selecting the Refind app I was hoping for high quality articles tailored to my interests. I got exactly that! I highly recommend it to others who are seeking the same!

Love this app

Refind is a great addition to my morning routine! Really good selection of articles.

Refind is a Fabulous Informative App!

I get to read fascinating articles about topics of interest that I wouldn’t always get a chance to read! I love Refind!!!!

Great selection of articles

Always suggest very interesting articles and very close with my interests.

Slowly but surely replacing my Pocket

I’ve used pocket since before it was acquired by Mozilla, and really it hasn’t improved since then.

Refind is finally the alternative (on steroids) that I’ve been looking for! I love the UI, and it’s amazing to me how high-quality the content is. It’s enjoyable to use, and their emails are actually good — very good job at the curation.

Anyway! Highly recommend giving it a try! You won’t regret! :)
