GoodLinks for Negative User 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

✓ Clean design, need more featuresLiking is a lot. But I need autocomplete for tags and drag and drop into tags for quick marking (Bear style)..FabdubVersion: 1.0

✓ 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

✓ PotentialLooks like a great app with an elegant, simple design. I love the speed and that it doesn't require syncing via the developers systems. Just a few concerns impacting my rating at the moment: Saving via the share extension on mobile works but doesn't show up until you load the app on the device you just saved on. So if you save using the share extension then open Goodlinks on another device(iOS/MacOS) it won't have the saved article. I need to go back to the device saved on, open the app and let it sync first. Syncing in general is imperfect. Yesterday I moved ~600 links out of Pocket and into Goodlinks via my work laptop. Work laptop now shows ~900 links however after restarting devices, etc my personal laptop and iOS devices still only show ~300 odd links. This is a concern because I've since added links on those other devices so I hope I don't lose the new links when the others finally sync through..MarkvandaVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Piece of crapReally doesn't do anything at all. What a waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS RIPOFF PRODUCT..WrittrrVersion: 1.2

✓ Some problems need to solved.It shouldn't even show up in the widget settings section. If there is a link that I don't want anyone to see, even if someone accidentally enters the screen settings, they can see that link. - When we turn the phone sideways on the main screen, the screen rotates. No problems so far. But when we make it vertical again, it automatically goes to the list of which tag was used last. - You clicked the link and opened it. There was a video on the link and you turned the phone sideways and watched the video. Then you made the phone upright again and closed the connection. When you go back to the list of links, the list is shifted to the side. - Not showing preview images in most of the websites - The option to request a password when starting the application can be added. - Every time I add a link we have to manually select it as read. There must be a setting to have mark as read turned on by default..FoxturkVersion: 1.7.1

✓ GimickyOffers nothing that can't be done in browser favorites and built in functions of Mac OS..BNM@SBRVersion: 1.4.5

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

✓ Mac App needs work.App shows a lot of promise but it still needs some work to make it my go to read-later app, espeically on the Mac side. The whole Mac app is buggy from top to bottom and not really useable. Looking forward to updates..The_beerdVersion: 1.0

✓ Love the UI !Really like it ! But should be possible to highlight some text or edit the text when we downloaded it ! And also be able to create folder to categorize articles that we want to organize. It would be perfect then !.YoudontneedmypseudoVersion: 1.5

✓ Nice Concept, Way too many bugs!Issues on syncing and app keeps crashing..SuniltanejaVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not universal purchaseBought this on iPhone to use on iPad and Macbook as well Downloaded on iPhone and iPad. When trying to download on Mac, it wants £4.99 again Not a universal purchase app and this wasn't explained in the description, where it alludes that it's a single purchase for all devices I stick with Raindrop.io and get a refund for this.Lord TopleyVersion: 1.7.3

✓ Teething ProblemsDownloaded on a review recommendation, really should know better. My first attempts at saving two well known tech sites weekly update pages (displayed in card layouts) failed miserably. The app missed several articles from the beginning and end basically capturing the middle third only. I presume it considered the missed cards ads? It may be fine for more text based layouts at this point I lost interest as something that works sometimes is not really much use as I can not trust it..TheOldDesignerVersion: 1.7

✓ 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

✓ I just don’t get itRead the great reviews and downloaded to try it. Well, I can’t find a user guide. I can’t use its interface intuitively. It’s several steps to save a safari link. I can’t see how to use share extensions, despite everyone talking about it. I can’t see how to edit actions to bring GoodLinks up front in actions. Safari bookmarks is way easier. I can’t see how to import my links from other key apps on my iPad or PC. Given I’m a tech pro, that’s a total fail-to-start. Pointless..ClockandaggerVersion: 1.2.1

GoodLinks works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact GoodLinks.
