Lookmark

I was a heavy user of the App Store wishlist (now deprecated) but absolutely hated the fact that you couldn’t save ‘free’ apps in the list. What if you weren’t on WiFi and wanted to save it for later - or wanted to wait for a time when your device had enough free space to download a larger app? Keeping text lists was time consuming and annoying.I wrote some Workflow processes to strip app names and keep a text list up to date... but that became unsustainable when the App Store changed up format - not to mention that there were some key things that just couldn’t be accomplished via Workflows.I was overjoyed to find Lookmark and scooped it up right away. The app keeps track of all of the iOS/Mac apps that I’m watching and, with a subscription, keeps me up to date of app updates and price drops. The fee is about a dollar per month (a tiny bit more) but it’s worth it for me.I do think that largely limiting the app to iTunes content is a small drawback but it’s an understandable one. I’d love for it to recognize an IMDb page and pull the movie info from there - similar to how I can pull audiobooks from audible... but you’d only be able to handle so many of those and never please everyone.My recommendations - the app needs to have some ways of working with the lists at bulk level - sorting, removal of duplicates or prevention of adding an app already in the list, marking all or many as read and the ability to group or prioritize the apps. Regarding the grouping I’d like to be able to prioritize, group them based on apps vs games and even mark them as apps I’m watching to buy vs apps that I’ve already bought and removed from my device but that I’d like to revisit later.I think these features could be added fairly quickly and sustainably by the developer. I hope and believe that the developer is willing to continue to improve the app so I’d start with a few quick wins like these.Overall this app is the best of its kind and functions very well without the subscription. Having subscription choices based on level of use is also a smart choice. In my opinion there’s no reason not to use this get this app ASAP.

This is the first negative review I’ve ever written for an app. Do not download at any cost. I was an early adopter and long-time user. Recently they switched to a subscription payment model, which is bad enough and indicative of the culture of greed that has ruined this app—this app performs one function with very few updates, no call whatsoever for a recurring subscription fee. And if that weren’t bad enough when they switched over to the subscription model they also deleted all of my bookmarks, dozens of them, and wiped the slate clean. Lost everything. All so they could try to charge me in subscription what I had already been using for a long time. It’s a disgusting way to treat your users and there are plenty of other bookmarking apps out there I encourage you to download. For my part I will keep this app for the sole purpose of reposting this negative review for every single release from now through perpetuity, as they will undoubtedly bury the many negative reviews and ratings as often as possible.

This is a decent wishlist app it does the basic functions of a wishlist. It needs more options especially sorting options the only option to sort is by date added to the wishlist. It would be nice to have a sort by name, category, price low high, oldest and newest. What brings it down to two stars is the price. $14 a year is high, at most this is a one time purchase maybe $10 at the most or a few dollars a year. I'm not exactly sure what the subscription is needed? Weather apps need to pay dark sky, weather underground, etc every time someone uses this app. Video apps it cost them alot of money to maintain servers and content. This app as far as I can tell doesn't have any of these issues or servers to maintain or API cost to access the app store hence no monthly or yearly cost to the developer so this should be a one time purchase or one time IAP to unlock all features. I hope you reconsider your payment options here because I would really like to pay you for your effort and use this app at it's full potential however the subscription model is the wrong choice for Lookmark I hope you reconsider so you can make some more money. Myself and others based on the reviews would pay a one time purchase. Best of luck keep up the good work.
