Raindrop.io

I will write more later, but I just wanted to say real quick; I have been using Raindrop free for several years and literally don’t know how anyone can live without it. You no longer have to worry about syncing, remembering where you saved stuff, which browser bookmark, etc. because as long as you save it in raindrop, it’s available on all your devices. Small example but huge benefit; when you’re in an app and something opens up on the in-app browser; you can just save it directly to raindrop. You don’t have to either copy and paste or open the link in Safari or Chrome; just save it directly to raindrop and now it’s in your collection! Raindrop is an amazing, super useful app. Even the free version has tons of very useful features, and I am strongly considering upgrading to support the developers and unlock, some of the advanced features. Updates are rolled out frequently; the app is well supported & developed. Never had an update cause any issues. I think my favorite feature is its shocking support for sub folders and sub-sub-sub folders…. I’m honestly shocked Raindrop supports this, because SO many apps do not. Incredibly well done, RainDrop team!!!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. POOR RESPONSE FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE. If I could get this review zero stars, I would. I use this platform as a way to organize links that I would like to save, and I paid for the pro to be able to organize those links into groups. However, there was a bug on the site where I was unable to add new collections to groups. When I reached out to customer service they lied to me and told me that this wasn’t implemented yet. However, organizing collections in groups is something they advertise for paying for the pro yearly, and I was able to do it at first but then I wasn’t. So instead of saying that they were having a bug with their site, they decided to lie to me and give me a one-word answer that did not help with my problem. So for the past two weeks, I have been able to organize my links in my business because of the poor customer service with this platform. I do not recommend because they are just trying to get you to buy the pro but the pro is buggy and does not work. If you were to use this platform, do not give them any money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried all the “read it later” apps and this one is by far the best for a niche purpose I care about: finding items I’ve saved to my library. The folder + tags option is excellent, and the search feature is far better than pocket (even pocket pro). I am happy to pay for quality apps. This is ALMOST everything I could hope for from this sort of app. The only drawback is that it doesn’t have offline support. This makes a huge difference; today the 4g networks all went down. I haven’t found a better way to store websites offline and also organize and search for links in a systematic way. I would happily pay for an “offline pro” bundle or something like that. Besides that, this app is honestly so much better than pocket in all other ways. It is consistently faster to find articles I saved a while ago and access themes of links I’ve saved to revise a subject.
