If you Live and Die by the Internet….
…then there is no better value in any app on the App Store than what this developer has given us for free.
Not Free
Unless you pay $35 this app is useless. So it’s not really “free.” I’m coming from Windows where I used Linkman.
You have to struggle with it before finding out the free version is junk
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.

Easy and simple
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.
$35 to actually do any of the things advertised in the free app's description
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.

OK now
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.

DuckDuckGo
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 In fact, the User Manual and website Tour seem to be for an older version of the app - Outdated.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.
Alco is awesome
I’ve used this app since it was released. That was back when system 7 was still in use. Alco does a great job maintaining it and adds new features quite often. Its not fancy, it just does its job quietly and stays out of the way. The addition of the iOS version is a very welcome tool to have in my kit.

Not working on 17.1.1
The app on my iPhone is not working at all.
I have followed your instructions and I see URL share button, I add an bookmark, but when I open URL app nothing shows up there. Also, if I click upper + button I get: “Couldn’t import document. failedToImportDocumentAtURL”
By the way, I do have URL Pro on my Macbook and I love it.

Feature request: ability to import html file
It would be convenient for me to be able to import previous bookmarks. Perhaps the folder structure could be preserved as well
Simple but extremely powerful
This program is the simplest way to collect URLs for future reference. It has some unique features that do not suffer from bloated interfaces. It does what it says it does elegantly.

Sadly, this didn't work.
I was looking for a powerful bookmark manager app, and this looks as though it would be suitable, however I spent hours following the instructions in the user manual trying to make it work with my Mac using Ventura with very little success. I really wanted it to succeed, but nope. Multiple frustrations.

Exporting Does Not Include Tags Info
I have purchased the full version. My workflow is to export organized links for use in html pages. It would be a helpful feature if exported links with the option of incorporating a standard 'tags' attribute as found in many html bookmark files.
Unfortunately this option does not appear to be available. By contrast notes are exported in an html file, which is nice.
In other words, more granular options for exports (ex., excluding date attributes also) would be helpful.

May not seem that flashy here on the App Store….
Here in the App Store so many different apps try to show off features that don’t matter or social integration or they just have a lot of promises and nothing really works.
Well URL Manager Pro is different. And because of this it might seem a little bit “boring“ at first glance. But when you combine the simplicity of this tool along with the desktop application you have the ability to manage thousands of bookmarks if need be. Forget social bookmarking or visual bookmarking, this is for people that have some serious bookmarks!

Alco ROCKS
This is one of those apps I have used for many many years. It is extremely well maintained! The recent addition of the iPhone app is a wonderful addition.
Other apps come and go but this one is absolutely a necessity!

Not useful without $30 purchase
Most of the key features aren't enabled in the app store version -- it would be nice if the description mentioned that you needed to buy a $30 in-app upgrade to get them.
Great to have URL Manager Pro on iOS
Users of URL Manager Pro on Mac OS will find this an excellent extension to its functionality.
One of my most valued apps
It's wonderful to have bookmarks available in multiple browsers. Very easy to organize the way one wants. Easy to add a bookmark by dragging or Command-K. Excellent support from the developer. Also available for iOS. The only negative I can say is that I see almost no publicity or advertising for this app. It should be a lot more popular than it is. It's sort of a secret gem.
