ACTUALLY USE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Highlighting is great, but why bother if you're never going to see any of your highlights again? Readwise makes it easy to quickly liberate all your highlights into one place, ensuring that you'll actually see and use them, including highlights from:


• Amazon Kindle

• Apple iBooks

• Instapaper

• Pocket

• Medium

• Goodreads

• Twitter

• Physical Books (using your phone camera)

• Manual Input

• CSV Upload



STOP FORGETTING WHAT YOU READ

How often do you finish a book, only to forget the key ideas two weeks later? We don't remember things by just reading them once.


Readwise solves this problem using scientifically proven learning techniques called Spaced Repetition and Active Recall. Readwise resurfaces the right highlights at the right times using a daily email and an app. Readwise even makes it possible to convert your best highlights into flashcards for added retention.



TAG, NOTE, SEARCH, AND ORGANIZE

With your highlights all in one place, Readwise enables you to organize and connect these ideas in new ways. Use search to find a highlight instantly; use tag to organize highlights within your library; use notes to add your own annotations.



HIGHLIGHT PAPER BOOKS

Readwise also makes it possible to take highlights from your physical books and papers using your phone’s camera. Just snap a pic, highlight with your finger, and have your favorite highlights saved forever.

Ratings and reviews

I love the quote photo feature but after I save it it gets added to a random folder in my phone. can you please add the ability to choose where those photos get saved? or add a readwise folder? I would like to be able to open up a folder and see all of my saved quote photos. Constant updates and features added. Great price for the subscription. A valuable service.

Loved trying Readwise, but they totally hide that after 30 days you HAVE to pay to keep using it. No free option at all. Feels pretty shady letting you get comfortable with the full app for a month just to drop that bomb later.

I absolutely love this app and I use it everyday, the most recent update however has made the add with photo feature only work for me one time and then not again. I have to uninstall and then reinstall the app for it to work. Hoping that this can be fixed in the next release.
