Omnivore: Read-it-later

Headsup for anyone looking to download this app - yes it’s absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately they weren’t charging even a dollar, and they’re shutting it down. Absolutely gutted, loved loved loved this app.

I just started using Omnivore and really liked it; went to the website today and discovered they’re closing it down and you must get your stuff out by today!!

Great app, but it’s getting shut down with barely any notice.

I’ve been a Pocket and presently, a Matter user. I’ve not been entirely satisfied with either of those. Recently, I came upon Omnivore and it has restored my faith in strong and smart software development hinging on delivering a solid user experience. I read an email where they said they were joining ElevenLabs. I wish they would maintain and continue developing this app, or at least retain most of the UI design and interactions while grafting the AI voices onto it. I don’t like the Eleven Labs user experience or interface design. It’s not as polished as Omnivore. Crossing my fingers.

I used to like the read a lot of feature, but I could no longer use it I don’t know why

TTS doesn’t work anymore. No matter which voice I choose. Without its main feature, it’s useless. I might as well read my articles on my browser.

That’s why text to speech is broken (for months), seems like they’re deleting all our stuff this month? Cool they got acquired but wish this was handled better.

Love the app, great connection with obsidian and it’s so cool this is all free. I was so excited about the text to speech feature, but it hasn’t actually worked for me. Hope they are able to fix it soon!

This was an amazing reader app, it was a regular way to read back webpages while driving in the car with a realistic sounding voice. Now it displays an error anytime I try to use it. It’s been happening for weeks. What happened?

I'm thrilled that I found the Omnivore ecosystem. What an oustanding app, free and open source, that can finally replace Pocket and ReadItLater. It does everything they did for me, at least as well, and with remarkable simplicity and ease of use. Beautiful typography. A great iPhone app and a great web experience. Tags and power searching. Phenomenally powerful syncing to Obsidian. And an amazing, and free, text to speech that has me listening to Wikipedia or longreads like they were podcasts. I proselytize Omnivore to everyone I can.
