- (2022-03-13) Rick Powell: Goes far beyond the basic extension in allowing me to easily create tags and notes and also to add an author to blog post highlights. Awesome. However, it often complains that the API key isn't saved but when I open the options, there it is. Usually just clicking Save again fixes it but not always. I would prefer not to have to do this ever, obviously.
- (2022-02-08) Mike Tannenbaum: Excellent app worthy of a 5-start review!! (the only review I've ever done). There's no better way to get your web highlights from almost anywhere into one place (Obsidian, Evernote, etc). Readwise takes care of the middleware integrations, but also provides an excellent tool on its own! This is fantastic.
- (2022-02-03) Arjun Singh: The perfect readwise extension doesnt exis.......
- (2021-12-22) Debbie Jenkins: LOVE this extension, straight into my notion.so database!
- (2021-07-08) Oliver: Fantastic software the Readwise offers. I'd recommend it to everyone who struggles with retention of information that one consumes and forgets in the weeks to come. Seems like a waste of time in the end. This is the solution.
