Raindrop.io

The app is now unusable on my iPhone 12 Pro latest iOS. When I open the app and immediately swipe right to the menus. The icons jumble at the top and the app freezes every time. I’ve reinstalled the app, turned off phone etc and attempted to contact support but no response. Currently switched to ‘Pins for Pinboard’ app. Hopefully there will be a fix for this.

Real shame as the app is pretty good. I paid for pro to use the AI features. Circa 2K links sorted into categories and tagged. No AI suggestions ever; “not enough data”. Sought help from dev multiple times, no reply.

I can’t even get to my collections anymore. Icons overlap each other and then freeze

I originally got raindrop as an alternative to pocket but the extension especially has become a real pain to use, it used to be so streamlined which isn’t the case anymore. If you were saving several links with the same category it used to learn and then auto populate this for the next one which doesn’t happen anymore, selecting a category doesn’t filter the tags so you get ALL tags for ALL categories instead of just the tags for the selected category which is incredibly time consuming. Sometimes selecting the extension on iPhone, in the share menu makes safari freeze and you have to completely close safari for it to do anything again, it’s been a problem for a long while and dev hasn’t responded to any bug reports unfortunately. In the app itself, thumbnails never load so I have no idea what I’m even looking for half the time I can see there’s occasionally App Store updates but nothing seems to get fixed? I don’t understand what the dev is doing honestly. I’m very frustrated by the app at this point and have moved back to pocket until the numerous and mounting issues and design flaws are addressed, sadly I don’t think this will happen. Huge shame

I’ve been using this for a while now, and while it can sometimes be a little unstable, it’s generally pretty good and I now use this in preference to the local bookmarks in web browsers and Twitter

Every time I try to save a page from safari via the share sheet, I get an error saying you do not have access. The “add to unsorted” option works.

Since the update to 5.1.14 the app no longer remembers the navigation position when the app is closed and instead always opens on the “All Items” position. I want it to open at the top of the Collections position. The previous version remembered the last location. Please either revert this behaviour or better still provide a configurable option within the app. (The browser version can be made to do this by opening the specific URL for the location desired). I have failed to find a way to raise this with “support” so have rated this to get attention to this issue. Best regards.

This is a very intuitive and very simple to use app. However, just because it’s simple to use, it still has great capabilities. Adding folders and tags to items you have saved is easy. Raindrop is a very well designed app and is a joy to use.

After trying Pocket, Instapaper and a few more of these link saving apps, I finally find one that works properly and that it lets me organise the links in folders properly. Amazing design too and really friendly user interface. Simply perfect!!

Cannot progress.
