GoodLinks

Just started using the app and I am very happy with it. Simple and effective way to save links. But there are two things I really wish the app had. 1. Being able to mark down text while reading so after I am finished I can review points I think are important. 2. Text to speech would be super useful. Not really an essential but nice to have:) Also, is there a way to open a youtube in the actual youtube app from the link in GoodLinks? Haven’t found a way yet. Best regards from Sweden

Bought it as I assumed it had RSS-support as any app of this kind should have. It didn’t :(

I’ve been a happy (and therefore loyal) user of GoodLinks on every Mac I’ve been using these last years (I don’t dare estimating the number though—we’re living in strange times…). GoodLinks is one of five or six extensions I need to have installed right from the get go in order to use Safari. That’s true for my iMac and MacBook Air, and equally if not more important for the last couple of iPads I’ve been enjoying using. That’s good enough, not least for a browser extension. However, GoodLinks is a full feathered all by itself and it does excel at being somewhat plain and simple at first glance. GoodLink looks and feels like something built by a true Apple developer, with an intuitive feeling and deep know-how of what makes these two platforms great — and how third party apps ought to behave and function. I couldn’t be happier. No pesky IAP subscription which drives someone like me away after a while as well as the majority of all regular users. I’d be happy to pay for software. But GiodLinks is less about paying for server-side storage and computing and a lot more about building your own read it later collection. Tags, organization, the content itself — its saved on your local device. (Yes, it sounds like sci-go, but these things are apparently possible with today’s computing power… 😉) Features are consistent on macOS as well as iPadOS—even the UI is instantly recognizable with the same paradigms. To me, this is one of the hardes things to pull off for an app supposed to be on two or more platforms with different input methods, screen sizes and general form factors. Hats off 👏 Just to end my rambling ovation: It’s not just on the Mac and iPad I trust in GoodLinks to quickly import whatever I stumble upon online via Safari. It’s on my iPhones as well. I believe I have owned at least three different models, all with different screen sizes and dimensions, Touch or Face ID, big talk screens and one smaller with a 9/16 form factor. Here’s a shocker: it’s equally important for me in iPhone and more impressively, it works flawlessly there. In fact, I’d trust GoodLinks a lot more than any web browsers own built in bookmarking features. That sounds like a slogan. I swear it didn’t come about like that, but feel free to use it. 😉 — @celebritarian

Love having all my read later articles in my own depository and able to export them in different ways to process those I choose for specific projects. 👍🙏

Been a longtime Instapaper user but then found this app and was pleasantly surprised. While instapaper is good it just feels outdated and old. GoodLinks gives a much fresher feel and offers a lot more customization and options, iCloud sync also works great. It is also way better than Pocket which just feels intrusive at this point. This is definitely my new go-to app for saving links and reading later! Update: Now it supports log in for paywalled sites as well making it even better. Best app read later app available right now, hands down. If I had one thing to complain about it would be the lack of the Seravek font, a font available in safari reader view which I personally prefer when reading. Update: Boom! Seravek font (and others) added in the latest update, thanks so much!!!

Best link saving app for iPhone/iPad/Mac

I’m really confused. You stated that everyone who purchased this app in the past twelve months gets the new highlighting feature for free without having to subscribe. And that everyone who has owned the app longer needs to subscribe to get it (even if we can subscribe then cancel and still keep the feature.) Why wouldn’t this be the opposite? Wouldn’t you instead reward the customers who’ve been with you longer and helped you to get where you are with the free feature? That just doesn’t make any sense to me do it this way and seems backwards. I would first thank the folks who’ve supported me the longest before the newer customers if I was doing something like this at all. Just seems completely backwards as I’ve said. This move is really odd in my opinion. —————————–——————————–——————————–— I just purchased this application going off of the good reviews I read here. And I have to say that i haven’t been this satisfied with an app purchase in forever. Goodlinks, is stupendous in my opinion. I previously used another app for just saving PDFs, for years. It has worked for me well if I’m honest. But, this app appears to offer everything my previous one did but also so much more. The primary use of tags in this program is very useful and super cool I think. I also really appreciate how well setup the template is for adding and saving URL links to the app. It offers spots for the URL, tags, a title, a description of the webpage or article and also the option to select whether you’ve already READ the page and one more option that I cannot recall at the moment. Plus, the app just has a really non-convoluted and very professional feel to it in my opinion. Everything feels like it’s in its correct place and that the developer put a lot of hard work, passion and time into constructing this program. I’m super grateful for that dedication. Thank you. The only minor issue that is taking me a little getting used to so far. Is what I mentioned about the primary use of tags in, Goodlinks. When I first got into the app I expected that I would be able to create folders to store and organize all my links. But, instead you just have all of your tags on the main page as far as I can surmise. And I guess you can easily recall previously saved links the best this way. It’s definitely different I would say and I still kind of wish I had the ability to create folders for all of goodly saved links, hehe. Yet, hopefully I will get used to using the system. My only concern is that once

I have been saving bookmarks to Pocket for years. The biggest problem with that site is the bookmarks are useless when the website doesn’t exist anymore. This app will download the page to avoid this problem. Not only that but it imported all of my Pocket bookmarks! That was a pleasant surprise. I was afraid I would have to import them one by one. It works with many other similar site too. I haven’t used the app much yet, but very happy so far.

i was sooo looking forward to getting highlights in goodlinks instead of copying important txt to another app (notes).. and it gets put behind their new subscription service unless you’ve been using the app less than a year. disappointing..😢 i wouldn’ve paid another $5 if it was a one time purchase for new features but maaaann these subscriptions on everything today is outta hand. obviously the app is still great, i just really wanted a highlighting feature. that’s my rant srry not srry 😂😂
