Horrible Product!!!! Who designed this????

Shelley12779

A nightmare. I can’t even believe that someone put something out like this! We know why their name Liner is not popular in any relevant circles..... I build quality systems for major corporations fo years and as an expert I am saying this is “junk.” If I could—-I would fire whoever authorized and built this. I’ve wasted 20 minutes trying to get this to simply highlight. The screens have barely any instructions. And they have a useless message that says “Something went Wrong” Bottom line — this is not user friendly, it’s a poor design, and it does not have business intelligence. And you made it way harder than it has to be! A child could have done a better job.

Reeks of unprofessional product management

I really like the concept behind this app but the execution is less than ideal. This review is concerned mainly with the iPad version of the app. Issues that I’ve found: Highlights from one article get carried over to other articles in your folder completely randomly. I had to manually delete each of the highlights to keep the organization clean. This would happen with every article in the folder. Then there’s the premium subscription! I paid almost 50$ for it and it’s only for a year! Considering how buggy and incomplete the app is, that’s too much money. But that’s not all! I never received an invoice or subscription confirmation email or anything remotely similar. This is when I realized there is seriously something amiss with this app. Now I regret having paid that money. Very unprofessional!

Added Feature (Merge Highlights)

Great app for my personal uses so far. However, I’d like the ability to combine separate highlights into a folder into one. Many articles have points of interest but it’d be convient to separate those points from the filler.

Lots of potential

Liner is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. An easy way to save the things I read into a seamless format. The idea is great, but the app could use some tightening. For one, sharing to Liner out of other apps straight up doesn't work for me. Not sure why that is but that seems like an essential feature. I get the impression that Liner doesn't play super well with other apps? Second, Pocket integration is another great idea but could be better with organization. Would like to see some basic Pocket organization or filtering features within Liner app. Finally, the highlighting within the app itself could just be snappier. Right now feels laggy and clunky. Lots of potential here with the app but as of right now it doesn't work super great. I really hope it improves as I love the concept.

Great, just needs better support from Apple

Update: the ads for premium get annoying, and the subscription costs are insane. I’m a casual user, I’m not using this for work, and I’m just not going to pay $10 or more a month forever for this. Give me a one time payment and I might consider it. Fulfilled my need to highlight web pages and store snapshots of them for research, writing, sharing etc. It seems that Apple doesn’t provide the right API for them to be able to capture a highlight from a selection in Safari, it would be nice if Apple would add that feature for them. As is you just captor’s the whole page and the app makes it easy to add the highlight right after that.

Pencil recognition for one-touch highlighting

Overall, not as satisfied as with diigo, but some webpages do play well with that app so rely on this one. Would love to see more Apple Pencil recognition with for one-touch highlighting. Also, more browser configuration

Expensive subscription

Bakari C

I used the 77% discount of the regular and whopping $13.99 per month subscription. So far I like the design of Liner and the ease of use. I've used Diigo and ReaderView, but each are lacking features that Liner offers that I find useful. Pros: 1. Card display of bookmarked articles 2. Folders for managing content 3. Desktop web browser access to my Liner account and highlighting tool 4. The ability to share links to annotated articles and folders 5. Pocket and Instapaper integration 6. Six pastel colors for the paid plan 7. iOS services to access from within supported apps, like web browsers, Feedly, NYT. 8. Attractive display of highlights and comments. 9. The ability to change the title of an article. Cons: 1. Annual subscription is way too much. It should be around $2.50 per month 2. Have to drag and tap to highlight selections. With ReaderView when you drag it highlights selection without needing to tap the default highlight color. 3. Takes two taps to move bookmarked content to a another folder. Would be nice to long-press and move, or slide and move. 4. Can't export/share highlights, only links to highlighted articles. 5. Can't filter highlights according to colors I won't pay the high subscription rate after my first year. It's simply not worth it for an app that doesn't help me make money.

New Restrictions to Basic Version

Sagerchatter

I have had the basic version for some time now. I rated it three stars due to equal my love/hate of the app. For function, it’s great - based on that alone I’d give it 4 stars. There are enough little things that would keep me from rating a full five stars, but nothing major. I used to use it quite a bit and was fine with the color limitations of the basic version, etc. I don’t utilize it enough to justify the subscription. However, recently - the last several months perhaps? - I’ve been limited to 7 highlights per article/doc. This is a deal breaker. I don’t use it enough to buy a subscription, not even at a fraction of what it costs. But b/c the app itself is not terrible, and the creators obviously have an vested interest making money in order to keep the app current and adding improvements, so I can’t pan the whole app just for that. For the purposes of a bare bones basic plan, I wish you’d raise the cap for highlights. I’m not a prolific highlighter, but I usually use it for length articles in order to pare it down to the bare minimum. I hit the limit every time now. I’ll keep checking in for awhile to see if they change the cap, otherwise I’ll look for another solution.

FUN!!

Highlighting, commenting, sending it to friends and family—powerful, exhilarating, exciting and exact communication.

No updates in the last five months!?!

What happened to you folks? Everything alright? I have been using Liner for so many years now that I have lost count of the duration. It's a quintessential app on my phones and tablets. And all of the browsers across my PCs and Macs. It’s been a while since I have migrated to iOS 14 (been using it since the arrival of developer betas), and the Liner app has been a bit unstable on the new version of iOS. I have been a premium subscriber of your service ever since you launched it. So, when can we expect a new release that would squash all of these bugs?
