Reviews: What People Think About Readwise Reader
robbchadwick
Rating: 5/5
About a year ago, I tried Readwise, the parent app to Reader. I found Readwise to be a very good app — but, at the time, I passed on subscribing.
Then Readwise introduced its Reader app. It’s a game-changer. I once required three apps (Reeder (different spelling), Pocket, and Speech Central) to do what Reader does. Reader’s RSS reader is top-notch. There’s no need to look elsewhere for an app to read it later since the app allows you to file articles in your inbox, later, and archives. Any highlights made to articles in Reader transfer to Readwise for future recall — and the built-in tagging system is to first-rate. To top it off, the built in text-to-speech voices are the best I’ve found.
At the present time Reader is still in beta. I’m not sure why, because it’s a perfectly great app with no major bugs as far as I can see. At any rate, if you subscribe to Readwise at this time, you will have the forthcoming subscription to Reader included for life in the price for Readwise alone. It’s a no-brainer.
I would only suggest a couple of things:
1) I’d like a way to select multiple items in the library to perform an action on. You can already do this in the Feeds section of the app. 2) I’d like to be able to move individual / multiple items in the library to a playlist for listening — one that would go on to the next article once the previous article is finished.
Subscribe to Readwise / Reader. You won’t regret it.

THIS☝🏼is what I’ve been jones’n for for a decade. A Universal Vault to quickly, in seconds, store, categorize, play to watch or listen. Being able to 👂🏼LISTEN👂🏼to an article, at 2 or 3x Speed keeps me up with individual content, of ANY kind, into the dozens each day. WELL WORTH THE PRICE to all the butthurt who want everything Free. The Time savings for Me, Pays for the Entire Month in ONE DAY! Get It! These guys thought of everything, are readily available the chat, answer questions and/or walk you thru on several Social Media Accounts. Speakin of the butthurt, the hours you spend complaining abt, l👀king for n jack’n on Paid Services is gone forever. Meanwhile those with Reader have lapped you in knowledge n productivity over n over n over while you 😭 30 Day Free Trial Is Rediculously Generous.
Just hit the App Icon n you’re done. Stored n ready in ANY Format. A No Brainer …

I’m a big fan right now as this looks so promising. I did want to suggest RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual
Presentation) like Outread and Instapaper apps, which will get your reading speed a big boost. There’s also Bionic mode in Reeder 4 which bolds some letters and impacts how fast you comprehend a word. Can’t wait to see the next iteration/update! Keep up the good work! I love the layout options for sharing quotes on Ivory for Mastodon, Twitter, and IG. Aggregating has never been easier- and easily add every highlight from Kindle, and Apple books, Pocket, Instapaper, etc. into Obsidian or Notion. The number of integrations is insane and the iOS experience is great, but online is the best option I think. I'm only beginning to scratch the surface, so will update the review as things change. But can be the go-to; replacing feed readers, saving for later apps, and working seamlessly with the Readwise app.
