Ratings and reviews

It does not consistently save your spot in an article (often resetting to the top), and there are no bookmarks. So what is the point? If the only way to know how far I am in an article is to highlight, you may as well use diigo which is free. The only solution I have found is to highlight a period at the end of the last sentence you read, then to delete such highlights when done with the article. I shouldn't have to do this!

The good: it's a great way to save articles for later reading. I like that it simplifies the text and removes much of the ad bloat from source. I also like the ability to tag as in ENote. My suggested improvements: I would like to see a better search functionality. My searches (paid version) tend to return a sea of irrelevant results, so I don't use search much, which is unfortunate,as it would be useful. I'd also like to see a pagination option in IOS.

In addition to the issues I've raised in the past, the latest problem with this app is that when you save an article, you now have to click the tag button three times (sometimes only twice) to get the tagging box to open! I have noticed this on multiple devices, so it's not an issue with my phone. And yes, I am still dismayed by the utter lack of value in the Premium subscription that I paid for for too long. Permanent library? Searchable? Hardly.
