### 5/5 — 혹시 샤오홍슈 지원은 안될까요??

*2026-05-21*

제발..부탁드립니다..!!!!😭😭😭

**Developer response:** 조금 늦었네요. 이제 샤오홍슈 지원합니다!

### 5/5 — 넘 좋습니다

*2026-05-17*

감사합니다 잘 쓰고있습니다:)

오래오래 유지해주세여

프리미엄 구매도 완료했어요!

**Developer response:** 잘 써주셔서 감사합니다!

### 5/5 — 좋은 앱, 감사합니다

*2026-04-27*

우연한 기회에 받아놓고 활용을 못 하고 있다가 Obsidian에 개인 저장소 만들면서 활용하게 됐습니다. 좋은 앱 만들어주셔서 감사합니다.

**Developer response:** 잘 사용해주셔서 제가 더 감사합니다~:) 불편한 점이 있으시면 앱 내 피드백 메뉴 통해서 편하게 문의주세요!

### 5/5 — 근래에 사용한 최고의 앱

*2026-04-23*

요즘 정보의 속도는 너무 거대하고 너무 빠릅니다. 플랫폼마다 들어가서 찾고 저장하고 시간내서 정리하기에는 너무 힘들어요. 스크랩 잘 된다는 이런 저런 앱과 서비스 왠만한건 다 써봤는데 결국 발목을 잡는건 소셜미디어였어요. 하나로 처리하는게 편한데 웹사이트 따로 유튜브따로 소셜미디어는 일일이 다 들어가야하고. 그러다 만난 이 앱으로 스트레스가 제로가 됐네요. 감사합니다. 정말로.

**Developer response:** 좋은 피드백 감사합니다. 각 플랫폼에서 저장 기능을 제공하지만 결국 해당 플랫폼에 접속해야만 저장된 목록을 가져올 수 있는데 막상 저장된 걸 보려고 들어갔다가 자연스럽게 다른 콘텐츠만 더 보게 되는 점이 불편해서 해당 앱을 만들게 되었습니다.

### 5/5 — 아이패드 또는 맥 버전도 부탁드립니다

*2026-04-12*

잘 쓰고 있어요~~~ 아이패드 또는 맥 버전도 부탁드려요~~~ 태그 순서를 수정할 순 없을까요 ??

**Developer response:** 태그 순서 수정 기능 1.5.2에 포함되었습니다. 확인해보세요. 맥버전은 만들고 있고, 아이패드 버전이 1.5.6 버전에 배포되었습니다.

### 5/5 — 생각만 하던 앱

*2026-03-02*

자료 보관을 즐겨찾기만 해놨다가 어디다 해뒀는지 기억도 안나고 다시 찾아야해서 너무 불편했음.  당장은 안봐도 유용한 정보들 저장하기도 하는데 삭제된 포스팅도 보관해둘수 있다길래 카페글 보고 바로 구매!! 
개발자분이 한국인이라 불편한 부분도 바로 수정될것 같아 앞으로도 기대가 됩니다

**Developer response:** 좋은 리뷰 남겨주셔서 감사합니다! 저도 말씀주신 불편함 때문에 해당 서비스를 만들게 되었습니다. 참고로 앱을 설치하신 것은 구매가 아니라 무료 다운로드(설치) 입니다. 아직 인앱 결제가 되는 부분은 없으니 참고부탁드립니다.

사용하시다가 불편한 점 있으면 편하게 문의주세요. 빠르게 반영하겠습니다!

### 5/5 — 너무 좋습니다👏👏👏

*2026-02-26*

좋은글 아카이빙용으로 유용하게 쓰고 있습니다. 다만, 페북 아카이빙 시, See posts, photos and more on Facebook. 글자만 뜨고 원본 내용이 표시되지 않는 오류가 있는데 고쳐주시길 바랍니다. 감사합니다. 
버그 리포트 할 수 있는 메일 주소도 알려주시면 좋겠습니다

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요!

잘 쓰고 계시다니 다행입니다. 현재 서비스가 공개 포스팅만 지원하고 있습니다. 공개 포스팅이 아닌 경우, 말씀 주신 것과 같은 현상이 생길 수 있는데 최근 수정하여 배포하였습니다. 여전히 오류가 지속되면 support@social-archive.org 로 메일주세요.

### 5/5 — Needed use case

*2026-02-25*

I’m surprised read it later services haven’t solved this. App seems polished for a 1.0 and functions well.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate this review. Glad 1.0 is working well for you — more updates and coming soon.

### 5/5 — Finally someone made this!

*2026-02-19*

Have been saving ig videos through ios shortcuts but now this is a gamechanger!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the awesome review!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.1 — 2026-08-30

Starred authors: long-press an author bubble, or star from the Authors list and profile. Starred authors sort first in filters, and a new 'Starred authors' filter shows only their posts. Stars sync across devices.
Connect-account screens now explain what connecting enables, with a refreshed Threads settings sheet.
Activity shows which AI model actually ran.
Fixed avatars falling back to initials on expired image URLs, and the media indicator reading as stuck syncing.

### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-24

Fixed the Shorts star and archive buttons saving to each other's lists, so saved videos never showed up in Starred or Archive.
Fixed author profile taps in the reader appearing to do nothing — the reader now closes and takes you straight to the profile.
Fixed share link creation failing repeatedly after a cold start on a flaky network.
Tap attached images on the feedback screen to view them full size.

### 2.1.2 — 2026-08-21

A sync reliability update.
Signing in again with the same account no longer re-downloads your entire library — existing data stays put.
Fixed an interrupted first sync leaving some posts permanently missing on that device. If a device already drifted, pull to refresh on the timeline to fill in the missing posts.
Fixed posts whose original was deleted (like a removed tweet) being retried on every app launch and reappearing in the Activity list.

### 2.1.1 — 2026-08-17

Fixed tapping a video tile in the mosaic opening only the post body instead of the video fullscreen.
The long-press preview now has a speaker button. Previews start silent, and turning sound on sticks across the rest of the app.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-16

Long press a mosaic tile for a preview with the media playing large, and swipe between images.
Tap a tile to open its media fullscreen instead of the post body. Swipe up or down to dismiss.
Pull up at the end of a post to leave it (Settings > Behavior).
Fixed the pull gesture being dead on posts that fit the screen.
Fixed text selecting itself while scrolling the reader on Android.
Video keeps playing in a floating window when you leave the app.
Bulk place search now follows the picked provider.
