Read full descriptionHide full description
ReadItWiser is an AI article reader that scores what is worth reading before you open every saved link. Bookmark an article and AI summarizes, translates, gives it a 1–5 reading-value score, and flags hype or weak evidence. News, AI updates, medicine, science, social issues — the more you follow, the more exaggerated claims, promotional posts, and thin articles you have to filter. ReadItWiser helps you decide what deserves your time first. With Pro, GPT can auto-review ~800 saved articles per month. ■ Three layers of AI read for you - Apple Intelligence (on-device, free): the moment you save, it generates a summary, tags, and a 1–5 reading-value score. No network, full privacy. - GPT-5 Reading Notes: critically organizes novelty, practical use, weak spots, and counter-perspectives. - AI Deep Dive: scrutinizes the author's expertise, the outlet, the reliability of the information, scientific evidence, counter-evidence, and red flags (exaggeration, name-dropping). It can verify the background with web search and cite its sources. ■ Features - One-tap save from X, your browser, or any app via the iOS share sheet - Article extraction and offline reading - AI auto-translation in the reader (read foreign articles in your own language — on by default) - Automatic markdown of hype, exaggeration, and guru-sales tone - Full-text search (title / body / tags), highlights and notes - Batch AI review of your inbox (Pro) - Full autopilot (Pro) ■ Plans - Free: summaries, reading-value scores, tags, and AI auto-translation are free and unlimited (all on-device Apple Intelligence). Your first 10 articles also get automatic GPT analysis. - AI Pro (monthly): ad-free + full autopilot + GPT analysis for ~800 articles per month. 7-day free trial. - AI Pro (yearly): the same Pro plan billed once a year — about 2 months cheaper than monthly. 7-day free trial. - One-time analysis ticket: top up GPT analysis without a subscription. ■ About subscriptions AI Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription (see in-app for pricing; 7-day free trial). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. ■ Apple Intelligence compatibility The on-device AI features in this app (summaries, tags, reading-value scores, and Reader auto-translation) use Apple Foundation Models. They require iOS 26 or later, an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro models, iPhone 16 models or later), Apple Intelligence enabled, and a supported language setting. On other devices, saving, article extraction, offline reading, search, highlights, and GPT-5 cloud analysis (trial/Pro/tickets) remain available. ■ Terms & Privacy - Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://readitwiser.com/privacy/ ■ Support support@qooq.co.jp
