GoodLinks Positive Reviews

Love where this is goingGoodLinks is fast, private and solid. I like where this is going. They've added nearly every missing feature that has been highly requested since the 1.0 and I'm excited for that to continue. Biggest missing feature so far is a good way to manage, edit, and organize tags & links in bulk. You can only select one link at a time and it's hard to tell what is downloaded and manage what link is downloaded. Similar with bulk editing of tags if they were drag & droppable, allowing for a hierarchy of tags and sub-tags, I think it would really help users with hundreds of links..MassaholicVersion: 1.1.1

Great app! 👏🏽It's super straightforward and works just like it says. I always forget to check back on my saved articles in Safari. I'm also using Chrome and Brave a lot more often. I love having this on my desktop and my iPhone. I can check and read articles without having to open Safari. Plus, they update it often. I always look for this history to see if it's worth the investment. The developers care about their app and users enough to keep it running smoothly, even WITHOUT a subscription..Valerio CostillaVersion: 1.7.3

Excellent alternative to Pocket and InstapaperSuperb! GoodLinks, Pocket, and Instapaper must have different algorithms for different sites/sources, and none of these captures every site, but overall GoodLinks manages to capture better than most alternatives on most websites. None of these capture Apple News articles well (or at all). (Maybe I need to log in to my Apple ID account via GoodLinks?). The best Apple News capture tool I've encountered is the Notion-built share extension. Would love to see GoodLinks add a built-in text-to-voice reader like in Instapaper or Voice Dream Reader..Macs for Everyone!Version: 1.5.3

One Missing Feature for MeI haven't been using GoodLinks very long, but it is already becoming something I can see myself using long term. The being said, a big missing feature for me is not being able to sync via another method rather than iCloud. I was planning on using this at home and work, but I am unable to login to icloud at work, but I am able to use DropBox. If there were more sync options, specifically DropBox, this app might be a homerun for me. I would also like to raise my hand for apple pencil support, being able to write and markup links..AntisyphusVersion: 1.7.3

A beautiful and simple way to store web storiesI've been using Goodlinks now for about a year and I can't stop saying good things about it. It has a nice, clean, user interface - and adding web stories/pages is super easy with the web extension. And the ability to tag your saved web pages makes it super easy to keep things organized. Overall, this is a great app, and keeps getting better!.PolarBearKevVersion: 1.6.1

Replaced Instapaper for MeI enjoy using read later apps for research and leisure reading. Good Links is a beautiful native app, available across all Apple devices (setting aside the watch and the TV). Getting articles in is easy — the new Safari extension works great — and the reading experience is very good. I highly recommend the app. I'm hoping for the developer adds highlighting and the ability to organize highlights, etc. Keep up the great work!.TimothyjtraceyVersion: 1.3.1

Syncing Needs WorkPretty good app! My only complaint is that if I save a link on one device, I have to quit and re-launch the app on a second device, in order to sync that link. How about a "pull down to refresh" in the iOS app and a refresh menu item or button on the desktop app? Edit: Changing my review to 5 stars. I emailed the developer about my syncing concern, he responded back and it's working great now!.Kwehner57Version: 1.5

First off, fantastic appCan't imagine my life without it now. One change I would appreciate is more interactive tag manipulation; It's time consuming to edit tags. Sometimes I wish a small "x" would appear when hovering over them in the preview/list pane. Thanks for all of your efforts!.Netwrknerd1Version: 1.8.7

Solid, minimalist article readerIf you just want to save articles to read offline, this is a good app. However, it is missing many features commonly provided by other services: highlighting, annotations, notes, making and sharing text screenshots, etc. The developer is aware of these limitations and said the features will be included in a future version. It's a good app, but please be aware of these limitations; it may not be ready for you yet..Q ✨Version: 1.7.1

Decent app, article parsing could improveI like this app for collecting links. I do not use it to read the conent, just collect and categorize to read later in other apps. The parsing engine isn't great - it's not in the same ballpark of, say, Instapaper's. It's be good to have an option to view the original article instead of the parsed one and/or allow for hiding that entire column..Loweller99Version: 1.8.5

Missing Too Much :(DON'T get me wrong! I love the UI and ease of use of this app, and I REALLY really wanted to love it, but at the moment it's unfortunately missing to much for me. The inability to highlight, make comments/notes, and to make folders instead of tags specifically messes with my workflow. I hope one day those features get added, as I'd consider repurchasing, but untill then, unfortunately this is not the app for me..A Super Disney FanVersion: 1.8.7

Great app for saving and organizing linksI use this almost every day to save links to content I know I will need later or don't have time to read at the moment. The ability to simoply add tags from the share sheet makes this incredibly useful. Thanks!.Noone99Version: 1.5.1

Feature RequestI love the app overall. However, I would like 1 feature request which is to be able to filter articles by being able to select multiple tags. This will really help me look for articles in the future. Once that fature is added, I think it is 5 star app..JohnhyunparkVersion: 1.8.7

Amazing AppWell worth the price of admission. The only bookmark/readlater app that doesn't require a subscription and stores everything locally. Worth twice the price. The only thing missing: being able to import bookmarks from browsers and content from Pocket, etc..RickcecilVersion: 1.4.4

It works!I have been loving this app for some time, however I just had a bit of an issue with saving Twitter threads. I reached out to the developer. He responded very quickly & helped me. Ultimately, the issue was on my end, but he was very patient & responsive..OswaldbVersion: 1.7.1

Fantastic app, with one huge flawI love everything about GoodLinks with one exception ... I can't save a web page with an article that spans multiple pages with a single click. Unfortunately, that keeps me with Instapaper, for now, as my main read it later app. Everything else about this app is perfect..The Chris of MaysVersion: 1.3.1

Great read later app!I love this app. It's super clean. If you're a fan of apps like Things3, Bear, or other super clean apps, you will like this app. I am excited about the forthcoming browser extension. The share button works well but the extension will be much faster, I suspect..T.WyattVersion: 1.3.1

Best Offline reader for web pagesIt does a great job of download and formatting web pages. Best of all, you can also download from sites behind a paywall if you're a subscriber of those sites..LastTryVersion: 1.7.3

One of my favorite appsI love this little thing, and I much appreciate the non-subscription model. I would love the ability to highlight and annotate, and I am sure others would as well..Stt3Version: 1.7.3

Great app - One small improvement neededThis is a great application for those who gather information for later research. One suggestion for improvement is for tags to auto complete..ScholarJVersion: 1.7.3

Love the appIt is one of the better bookmarking app in the apple ecosystem. The developer is honest and dedicated to his work. I also appreciate that the price is fair unlike other rip off apps. It works very well for me..TheGreenGooseVersion: 1.5

Great app at good priceI love this read it later app. it doesn't cost monthly and does a great job. it also respects your privacy and doesn't collect data. well done!.MacRezaVersion: 1.2.1

Great AppAfter years of subscribing to Instapaper, I ended my subscription and moved to GoodLinks. I haven't regretted it one bit. One feature request would be to have a link import feature for people moving from Instapaper or Pocket. But this is a great app. Worth every penny..KontangoVersion: 1.1.1

Privacy FTWI looked for an app like this one that does not come with a lot of trackers or requires an online subscription. This is just AWESOME! The elusive ONE star (to make it PERFECT) is the lack of Apple Pencil support (for the iPad) -- imagine being able to scribble on the document, it'd be PERFECT!.romVersion: 1.7.3

Love it, been using it for many yearsAn excellent replacement for online bookmarking apps.WordloafVersion: 1.8.5

Great App, but......there is no way to contact the developer from the App Support link. It's a HUGE oversight that one cannot paste text into the description field with share-sheet or in the app. I left a $5 tip anyway. If you've been juggling Pinboard apps for years and have been getting frustrated with recent issues iwth Pinboard (growth and the fact the guy that runs it is a jerk) this should work for you. I will evenutally drop Pinboard in favor of this app, FWIW..SomeguyALSOVersion: 1.4.5

Love the App; I wish there was an All viewI love this app and it has replaced Pocket and other RITL services yet I wish there was an all view..GeorgedprVersion: 1.8

Works greatThis app has been a great read-it-later app for me. Looks great, easy to understand UI, and I have no issues with syncing..Leeabe51Version: 1.1.2

Work GreatEasy to add articles. Easy to read them. Works fine on Mac and ios!.ThatbikedudeVersion: 1.2

If you value your privacyYou'll ditch Pocket & Instapaper, and use Goodlinks. Awesome product!.Ultra Man 7Version: 1.3.1

Finally actually reading all the stuff I save in PinboardEdit Dec 2023: I came to say something I clearly forgot I already knew - bookmarking isn’t this apps forte. I JUST saved a site with several tags, then realized I forgot one. So I hit the button again expecting it to pull up the same record so I could edit it. Nope. No tags. So I thought I’d go to the app itself and edit it. But my site didn’t seem to be there. 1. You better remember your tags, because searching for the actual title of the page brings back nothing. 2. I eventually found it in the Untagged section. So apparently re-saving the same site doesn’t update or make a duplicate entry, just overwrites the old one. So, my review below is still accurate. As others have stated, one of the best things about this app is how well it integrates into the Apple environment. Saving things on my phone and reading them on my iPad just works. Like it supposed to. I picked this up because I love the developers other app 1Writer, which I have used for years. At first, I tried using it more for bookmarking and it just did not work as well as Pinboard for me. When I finally started using it to actually read the things I bookmarked at Pinboard, it has become one of my most used app. A great decision by the developer to allow importing just my unread links from Pinboard because my desktop workflow is still Pinboard-centric..AvirisVersion: 1.8.1

Great service, App is nearly thereGoodlinks MacOS is a powerful yet simple way to organize and store digital links that can clutter your day. From news articles to social media posts, Goodlinks helps you collect important references in one place. I recently began using Goodlinks for MacOS after a decade on Pocket and have been really impressed with its features and UI. First and foremost- Privacy. I also love that its native, and uses far less storage or ram than pocket by a mile. Furthermore, Goodlinks allowed me to seamlessly import every link I had saved over that 10 year period, eliminiating a lot of stress in orgazining alll my old articles and memories, and even let me add my favorite subscriptions to bypass paywalled articles! While the transition has been good so far, there are a few things that would really improve the expeirnce for us MacOS readers 1) Adding the ability to select a 3rd party browser for opening links without having to change the share extension settings; 2) Offering users a feature that allows them to export an article as PDF like they do on iOS; 3) Adding the ability to scan or identify broken/dead links when importing, and a way to bypass cookie notices/cookies pages in the article download. 4) Automatically tagging subscription linksto allow easier sorting; 5. When you finish dragging a link to a tab, the up/down slider of the tags menu resets to the top- when sorting through tons of links by tagging, this can get a little frustrating as you develop a large list. All in all, Goolinks has been a revalation for this former pocket luddite, and I highly reccomend that you check it out, especialy if you’ve been wonderina about finally getting through your doom pile of information ; ).BrokenFixieVersion: 1.8

PleaseMake for older macos..i can't upgrade from mojave..LovingrooveVersion: 1.4.3

5 StarFor some reason I can't get the review to let me select 5 stars. I've been using GoodLinks for more than a year. I rarely leave reviews, but this app warrants one. Simple and intuitive, I love everything about this app. Seamlessly integrates with iCloud so it's the same on all my devices. I have a scorching case of ADHD and this allows me finish articles without going down the rabbit hole of another link on a website. GoodLinks has made a dramatic improvement to my comprehension and effectiveness. Thank you for creating the app. A suggestion, not complaint. Have you considered allowing tags to be capitalized and be more than one word? Please consider tipping the developer (s) so they can continue to support and improve the app. And, I am not affiliated with the developer in any way..JR LRVersion: 1.7.5

GoodLinks is easy to useI really like how it makes it simple to just throw your link in there! No trying to goad you into choosing a bunch of qualifying days. They know you’re in a hurry and just want to safeguard the link. There are more customizable methods should you want to go back when time permits, and give them tags, for better searching. This is all I’ve used on this app so far, but I think it is my most helpful bookmark app so far! Going to get into the unused features as soon as I get time! I’d advise it is a no-brained though for its streamlined and concise entry system and overall stability ..HeartofavikingVersion: 1.7.3

Fantastic for reading, there are a few features I miss thoughI’ve tried a bunch of read it later type apps. Pocket is pretty good but overkill for what I want. Mostly I use Instapaper since it works everywhere, allows highlighting, and syncs with Readwise. However, the capture and rendering in GoodLinks is far more reliable than either Instapaper or Pocket. It does a better job of actually grabbing all of the text and images while stripping away all of the extra stuff and leaving the text still looking great. If GoodLinks added highlighting and either integration with Readwise or csv export of highlights it would be perfect. I’d even be willing to pay a bit for those, if that makes the difference..JClarkVersion: 1.3.1

ICloud Advanced Data Protection IssueI am loving this app except for one thing. I’m tied to using Firefox on Windows for my work computer. I added the extension and it wouldn’t work. When I went to the website for help I saw this: “If Advanced Data Protection is enabled on your iCloud account, please note that the Chrome and Firefox extensions may stop working. In such cases, we recommend using the Safari extension or the Share extension.” Unfortunately that doesn’t help my situation and I won’t be able to save links using my work computer after all. I mean, I could try to get the link from my computer to my iPhone and add it from there, but that’s not entirely convenient..UndamnedOneVersion: 1.8

Finally, the ultimate reading appThere have been so many apps doing this for so long — it’s like a definitive category in the history of the App Store — and yet none of them ever got it right until GoodLinks. Finally, a reading app with standard interface and typography that feels like part of the system. Finally, a reading app that is entirely backed by iCloud, requiring no third-party services. Finally, a reading app that saves and syncs your reading position *every time*, instead of 1/3 of the time. I hope this app is around forever, because I’ll be using it that long..PortalkeeperVersion: 1.0.1

Great but could be amazingI was looking for a clean and light read-later app. This one is great but missing a couple of key enhancements. 1) does not show word count or reading time for an article. If you’re like me, you want to pick your next article to read based on how much free time you have right now. Hard to justify when all competitors have this feature. 2) Twitter threads do not display all tweets. I am forced to load in the browser instead. Not a huge deal but it is inconvenient. Everything else this app offers is excellent. I still recommend it if you are looking for a read-later app..Ryng1Version: 1.7.3

I use this app for everythingThis app is well worth the price. It’s easy to customize and works extremely well. The developer was very responsive with the ONE issue i had with it after over a year of hard use. It works so well with other apps (share extension, URL scheme) and it’s easy to import your links from other apps. I stopped using reading lists and browser bookmarks altogether and use this app for everything. It’s worth much more than the asking price, and a big thank you to the developer. peace.Anon.e.mausVersion: 1.6

This app has potentialPlease consider adding the ability to find any text within any article from the search bar on the main page. This would make sifting through looking for something that was saved much easier. Search is a little pointless currently. Could also use the option to mark all articles as read, without having to scroll down to do so before saving. Just a time saver. And lastly, this could use a folder option, if you like to keep certain tags grouped together. On another note, picture previews when going through a tags links are only showing black boxes currently..Tony Two-ShoesVersion: 1.7.1

Best Reading App!!I’ve tried to get into Instapaper and Pocket in the past, but honestly they were just a bit too bloated. I don’t need an app for long term article storage. I primarily use the app for reading longer articles that I want to save the position on and then I delete when I’m finished. This app is super lightweight, perfectly holds reading position. Great options for font and background readability. I also really like that it uses my iCloud to sync instead of proprietary sync. The app respects privacy. My favorite app purchase in some time..TheBoxHeadVersion: 1.3

Superb AppA must-have app that I will install on every possbile Apple device with a browser that I own. Many thanks to the developer, Mr Ngoc Luu..Fed Up With Choosing NicknamesVersion: 1.8

Finally, a replacement for Instapaper.Instapaper, Pocket, etc. have felt like subpar tools for all kinds of reasons for years. This is a beautiful app, a private app, and a native app, across all platforms. I haven’t run in to any of the manliness in stripping of ads, etc. as I have with those tools either. This is incredible..Blair BeckwithVersion: 1.0

Very good app ! - Très bonne applicationVery good application. It allows you to keep newspaper or magazine articles without having to pay a subscription. Works very well. What is missing is having it in several languages, including French. Très bonne application. Elle vous permet de conserver des articles de journaux ou magazines sans avoir à payer un abonnement. Fonctionne très bien. Ce qu’il manque c’est de l’avoir dans plusieurs langues, entre autre le Français..Geek111868Version: 1.7.5

Much prefer it to InstapaperAs a long time Instapaper user, it wasn’t long before Goodlinks won me over. I love the recent feature that saves Twitter threads.TopsightVersion: 1.7

Simple and perfect!I wish there were more apps like this. Simple, clean and perfect at what they do. Also, the dev team is on it adding new things for iOS 16 right on time!.BnplussVersion: 1.7

One of my most used appsI use this app everyday across an iPad/iPhone and Mac. It’s bulletproof and requires no subscription to a third party website. My only gripe is there if there is one, is the lack of highlighting to export to third party note apps. There’s a work around, but I’d prefer a native feature. Still gets 5 stars for the cost, features and brilliantly responsive developer..Matt-robertsVersion: 1.5.3

Excellent; goodbye to Instapaper!All round very sleek, effectively and customizable. Only wish that it had an independent login service so that I can save articles on non-Apple devices..TomifonicationVersion: 1.5.1

GoodLinks Great AppThis is the simplest and easiest app for grabbing an article and saving it for later that I have ever tried! Stripping out adds was one of the biggest reasons I purchased it. Syncing across my devices makes my readings available anytime, anywhere on whichever device I have at the moment. Excellent!.Paulyp123Version: 1.2

GoodLinks Negative Reviews

Cannot reccomend if using mutiple devicesI bought a new MacBook installed the app. All of my hundreds of articles will not download. Everything says This page is not available offline despite being downloaded on my previous MacBook and iPad. The whole point of purchasing this app was for offline use when traveling. Very dissapointing. Switching back to InstaPaper or maybe Pocket..NotchristopherVersion: 1.7.5

Sync and Sorting IssuesThis is a great idea but sync barely works - there's no way i can tell to reset your icloud data to start fresh - also the sorting of items between devices doesn't sync..Rusty ShacklefordVersion: 1.1.2

1/4 BakedFor a straight port from iOS, this thing lacks all sorts of polish. Save your money -- this isn't ready. It's clear that the developer doesn't use this on a Mac and is just cashing in. There is NO keyboard navigation to speak of. Absolute waste of money. Great idea with the iCloud syncing (privacy!), but holy crap -- tedious..MacDorkVersion: 1.1.2
