Is Command Browser legit?
🤔 The Command Browser app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Great content organiser - particularly to organise information for research projects. I love the ability to highlight sections of web pages not just for my own focus but also to send pages with my highlights to anyone or any app using ios inbuilt share-sheet so I can instantly draw attention to ‘the point’ and reach people who wouldn’t bother reading the full text.
I LOVE Command app it has revolutionised my browsing and made my deep and sometimes convoluted journeys on the web easily mappable and manageable so that even the most obscure waves (pages) can be referenced and navigated to again!
My only fear is that it will cease to be free in future releases - which is fine I would happily pay a one-off fee - but I’m concerned that they may introduce a damned subscription fee (as is the preferred monetisation model for many these days).
I really hope Command app never turns to the darkside (subscriptions) but I would happily pay $10 - $20 once for this app’s functionality.
Anyway it’s currently FREE so GET IT! I highly recommend this app!
Amazing Features, even better support
As a researcher and phd student, having a fluid and easy to use application to capture my readings at volume is critical. This also flows directly into my daily life in organising interesting articles to share. If you need a product that makes highlighting , categorising and organising seamless then this is the app for you!
Something that astounded and surprise me was the support team ! Wow the support team was hands down one of the best, the responsiveness, attention to detail and time of day they spent in troubleshooting my difficulty in synchronising across multiple devices was customer centric to say the least.
Special shout-out to Rohanphate who got me over the line for my particular requirements !
Great for scientific research, but drawbacks
First, it’s an impressively simple idea but very well done. It allows you to collate information from different sources into a single workflow. Very handy when evaluating different research articles for a single idea/concept/chapter. However, there are some drawbacks that I find frustrating. Despite these, the devs seem keen to make changes according to users, which is promising to see. Good luck. Drawbacks: - PDFs get opened into a smaller window and can be easily clicked off of, which is annoying if you accidentally touch it wrong. Also sometimes the PDF files are unsupported natively and require them to be opened by the inbuilt Preview equivalent on iOS. - Journals cannot be renamed when using an external keyboard. I don’t know if this is a bug, but it is super frustrating, as I have wanted to update my journal title with something more specific, and been unable to do so. (The blue |A symbol next to delete just does nothing when clicked). - Currently no MacOS support (aside from mimicking iOS app in Big Sur), though this is coming, which is nice!
Fantastic App - so useful
Saw a review of this on DailyTekk on YouTube and decided to give it a go, very happy I did. And the pricing is simple after the free trial, no recurring micro transactions. This will be my most used app easily, I’m finally getting better organised in my research thanks to this app
Why?
Benefits aren’t clear, seems very expensive.
Crashes
The app is unusable every time I submit a journal entry it crashes.
UPDATED: The Browser For The Rest Of Us
The rest of us are: Not casually browsing teh internets or using a browser for mindless empty carbs for your brain. The rest of us utilize the web for more complicated and important needs. We needed a browser that could handle strictly dedicated tab groups. Notes and highlights of website contents. The ability to save and export. Personally, no other browser could handle my web needs. I dive deep into research on multiple subjects. To note, The developer has what it takes and makes to be a role model for the rest in the apple community. Kudos. Proudly paid for this app!
UPDATE: Still using command and have watched it grow! The dev is ON TOP of their work, receptive to feedback and easy to contact.
3.9.6 crashes. Notion sync and Chrome extension please??
I ❤️ you Command but ... Please, please address the crashes that occur every time I long-press a piece of highlighted text, choose Journal, then OK it. Thanks!
Also ... 1⃣ Notion integration needs reworking IMO so that tags made in Command stay attached to specific highlights (as they are when they are created in Command) . Currently, when sent to Notion, tags get rolled up into a bundle as a property of a URL and as a result information (that tag X was attached to highlight Y) is LOST. To fix this, I think the Highlights table needs to have each *highlight* as its entity/row/granularity, rather than URL. Ideally a related "Pages" table with URL as base would store page title and page-scope comments. If that's hard (or not possible to auto-populate related fields?) then URL and page title could just be properties of each highlight in the Highlight table, with those values repeated for each highlight in a page. 2⃣ I really miss being able to highlight also from my laptop and to see highlights I've made in the past A Chrome extension would be perfect. (Diigo implements this nicely ... but seems abandoned) 3⃣ Data protection: I'd love to know that my Notion data isn't being exposed to accidental sharing or even erasing. Maybe Notion limitations make that impossible to guarantee but I suggest you at least warn of what could happen by giving you the keys to my data there.
“Open in Command” on Safari stopped working since last update
I like to use Safari in conjunction with Command, because Safari feels faster for general browsing. That said, Command’s highlighting features are unmatched. I’ve tried using different extensions and apps for web highlighting, but none feel as good as Command. I love that Command will still show the highlight on the screen, even after reloading the page. The Readwise integration
is also very nice, and I like that tags added in Command carry over to Readwise. Not even Readwise’s own app lets you add tags right from the web page on mobile — you have to manually open the app and add tags later.
Unfortunately, I’ve been using Command less and less lately because the Share -> Open in Command button in Safari hasn’t been working since the last update two months ago. Pressing Open in Command just takes me to a blank white web page, and it has to do with how Command has been automatically formatting web links. Links sent from Safari to Command will open as https// instead of https://. It’s been super inconvenient to have to manually edit every link myself just so the page will open. Please fix this.
Highlights
Can’t see highlights in dark mode and reader view and also how do i change the reader view colours?
