Effective and useful

I didn’t realise just how much I needed it until I started using it. I’m a convert.

Great app

Use it all the time to save articles links etc. for later reading.

Why would use Pocket?

I wish I’d found this earlier! Good links is so much easier to use and a delight to the eye…

Simple but effective

This app is an example where it has a very limited objective and it fulfils that in a very simple UI which doesn’t have any friction. Most of the apps have to try too hard to justify their purpose and so the UI. Became a homescreen citizen very quickly.

Better than Instapaper, Pocket!

The reading experience is better than Instapaper and Pocket. Please have a highlighting function soon. Love it.

Potential

Looks like a great app with an elegant, simple design. I love the speed and that it doesn't require syncing via the developers systems. Just a few concerns impacting my rating at the moment: Saving via the share extension on mobile works but doesn't show up until you load the app on the device you just saved on. So if you save using the share extension then open Goodlinks on another device(iOS/MacOS) it won't have the saved article. I need to go back to the device saved on, open the app and let it sync first. Syncing in general is imperfect. Yesterday I moved ~600 links out of Pocket and into Goodlinks via my work laptop. Work laptop now shows ~900 links however after restarting devices, etc my personal laptop and iOS devices still only show ~300 odd links. This is a concern because I've since added links on those other devices so I hope I don't lose the new links when the others finally sync through.

Excellent read later app - just missing one thing

Thanks for the great app. I’ve used 1Writer for many years and immediately downloaded GoodLinks when I read about it on MacStories. It’s almost perfect but for one feature: Bionic Reading. Any chance you could incorporate BR as a text format option? Would definitely be a five star app then.

Excellent app

I have used many similar apps over the years but have never found one that has “stuck” . So far I am a huge fan of GoodLinks and it has already become an important part of my workflow. Having just started a University Degree I needed something to gather and manage the multitude of websites links I was rapidly acquiring in my research and studies. GoodLinks has proven to be the perfect app for this purpose. It’s fast, has a beautiful UI and very easy to use. It syncs perfectly between my Mac , iPhone and iPad which is important for all the apps I use. I use Tagging extensively in my workflows and GoodLinks supports this perfectly with its easy to use tagging system and helpful “tag picker” built into the UI. It integrates well with other apps, including Siri Shortcuts I believe, and is an area of the app I’m currently exploring. Definitely a 5 star app for me and throughly recommended.

Another hit out of the park for 1Writer developer

Given how solid and useful an app 1Writer has been for me for years, I jumped at the opportunity to support Ngoc Luu. So far I’m very impressed. The same attention to detail towards the most useful functionality, a clean minimal design and urlscheme actions for the adventurous has been applied here. Goodlinks also takes much of the best from Instapaper(reading experience) and Pocket (quick save with option to tag while saving) and brings it under the privacy and speed of your iCloud account only and as one of the only handful so far of universal iOS/iPad/Mac apps! A couple features that would push this to 5 stars for me would be: * Some links (all that come from Apple News) do not get scraped and require tapping a link to fully download * sync preferences through iCloud (except maybe text+layout size preferences) * swipe/tap pagination (few read-later apps incorporate this and I still prefer long form reading this way) * background downloading (the purpose is defeated quite a bit if articles aren’t already downloaded and offline by the time the app is opened next). Otherwise, a fine job thank you!
