### 4/5 — Good

*2026-07-09, version 6.5.1*

Good

### 2/5 — Tags leider schlecht umgesetzt

*2026-02-08*

wenn ein Tag einmal eingetragen wurde, sollte es auch in einer Tagliste erscheinen. Wer merkt sich denn seine vergebenen Tags auswendig, um sie dann auch noch vollständig einzutippen.

### 2/5 — Gute Idee, aber schlechte Performance

*2025-04-24*

Gerade installiert habe ich meine Bookmarks von Safari importiert, exportiert und wollte dann speichern - was aber nicht funktioniert. Nach Minuten habe ich die App dann abgeschossen, neu gestartet - aber keine Änderung. Daher leider in der aktuellen Fassung nicht nutzbar. Umgebung: neuestes macOS, neuestes Safari, Mac mini M4.

### 5/5 — If you Live and Die by the Internet….

*2025-03-21, version 6.4.5*

…then there is no better value in any app on the App Store than what this developer has given us for free.

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2025-02-17, version 6.4.5*

Unless you pay $35 this app is useless. So it’s not really “free.” I’m coming from Windows where I used Linkman.

### 1/5 — You have to struggle with it before finding out the free version is junk

*2024-10-08, version 6.4.4*

The user experience is terrible, and the english documentation is terrible. A stand-alone bookmaks app is pretty weak.
All I want is a One-Time cleanup and sort of Safari's bookmarks. But it takes several dialogs and steps to do that. THEN, when I try to save for safari, cha-ching! that's $35 dollars.
I would not have bothered if that info was in the AppStore description, and I would not have have posted a low-star review.

### 5/5 — Easy and simple

*2024-09-30, version 2.2.5*

An excellent program that does exactly what it says - a depository for bookmarks. A wide variety of very useful features that cover most everything you want. Its longevity speaks to its value.

### 1/5 — $35 to actually do any of the things advertised in the free app's description

*2024-07-11, version 6.4.4*

I'm a lifelong Windows/Android user, but I've been making an earnest attempt to learn the Apple ecosystem recently.  I have some Safari bookmarks I'd like to automate organization for.  Safari can't seem to do that, so I figure I'll try exporting them to Edge, which has a robust organizer. (Chrome's is terrible).  Well, Edge isn't supported on my version of MacOS, so I'll see if there's a free app I can use....
I don't know how you lifelong Apple users manage to hold your noses all the time in this bait-and-switch cesspool of an App Store.  Godspeed and bless your hearts.

### 4/5 — OK now

*2024-07-08, version 6.4.4*

I last reviewed this app in Dec 2023 and gave it 1 star as it did not work (despite the developer explaining how it should).
I decided to give it another go in July 2024, and it works fine. I don't know whether my previous install was faulty or whether the app has been fixed, but I am happy with it now. Re-rated to 4 stars.

### 3/5 — DuckDuckGo

*2024-05-01, version 6.4.4*

Does not play well with DuckDuckGo browser.  The HELP menu does not address this.  In fact, the User Manual and website Tour seem to be for an older version of the app - Outdated.  If I could get it to work properly, it would be a great app and maybe worth the excessive purchase price.
