Readwise

I have books and articles strewn across multiple apps, and the daily highlights review has reminded me of some really important things about life and career. And then their Reader app for web articles and PDFs rounds out things I’d like to be looking at instead of doomscrolling on a weekend. I hesitated a bit at the price, but the value of being able to highlight paper books with my phone camera is just too valuable.

This is SO great for anyone who thinks “What did that book <or whatever> say?” I’ve been using it for almost two years and am amazed at how the daily emails are a wonderful reminder of so many things.

I thoroughly enjoy using Readwise. Daily I go through eight or more highlights from books and articles I have read. And this stimulates my creative juices. Highly recommended!

It only brings up Amazon books on my iPhone and the reader is totally glitchy, jumping me to parts of the book unrelated to where I’m at.

This app gives you the run around by sending you to their site. Then they send you to sign up with Stripe! Yet they advertise that you can get a subscription through Apple. Update: After a week of numerous emails and reporting to Apple about their suspicious activity, my account is now deleted by the company. I signed up through Apple subscriptions but they lead you to Stripe credit card services. I wanted to stay with Apple subscriptions and they didn't seem to understand this. After numerous emails of trying to explain this very simple concept, I grew suspicious and told them I was reporting them to Apple. They deleted my account.

I really like this app and I try to use it everyday. Good way to revisit important parts of books and helps retain knowledge. The interface is minimal and that makes this a no fuss app, easy to use. My ONLY problem is no notification when you are about to lose the streak. The streak is a great motivator to not ignore the daily review but it’s frustrating when you forget one day and lose all your progress. I think there are email notifications but that’s not very useful.

I can’t say enough about the Readwise ecosystem and what it delivers. It takes my reading (and its retention) to a whole new level. I highly recommend!

Readwise has been an amazing additional to my reading routine. The ability to have all my notes in one spot, both physical and digital books, has been a godsend. I love getting the daily emails that remind me of quotes that I otherwise would have forgotten from books that I loved reading, just forgot to the passage of time. Really a necessity

Love the store… First thing I do every right now is to read my highlights… Because this system delivers them automatically to my email, it’s super easy, and I don’t have to think about it… So grateful for this tool

Opening the app some how automatically opens the App Store review screen for the app. Here is your review.
