Matter Erfahrungen und Bewertung

I tested the app and it seems promising, but where is the option to comment highlights? Without this it’s completely unusable for me 🤔

Audio only works in American English. Which means: For most people worldwide it‘s almost useless.

I love the app. But it is nearly impossible to get to talk to someone in support.

Nice App visualisation. But tagging very slow

I love the app. But it is nearly impossible to get to talk to someone in support.

Super App mit durchdachten Funktionen. Die Integrationen sind auch Spitzenklasse. 5 Sterne gebe ich sobald es deutsche Stimmen gibt.

Whenever trying to create a pdf, or printing something the app crashes completely :/

diese App is my filter of information. The inbox for all that matters.

The new home tab, however, shows me information I do not want to see. I am trying to get rid of distractions and unsolicited information bombing. While I do see value added for some users and their flows, it would be awesome if I could somehow keep the status quo - be able to configure Home Screen to show my inbox only. Just as it was before.

Be aware of over-engineering. Do not become the Evernote of reading apps.

Leider bietet Matter nur englischsprachige Autoren, aber keine Möglichkeit, deutschsprachige zu abonnieren. Twitter Threads werden nicht in gut lesbare Texte umgewandelt, sondern einfach nur als Link im Queue gespeichert. Man muss sich in X anmelden, um den Thread im X Format zu lesen. Nutzlos!

Ein Stern Abzug wegen der Einschränkung der Sprache und der nicht sinnvollen Twitter Integration.
Ein weiterer wegen des Preises, der für deutschsprachige Nutzer wegen der Einschränkungen zu hoch ist.
Die immer wieder eingeblendete Werbung für ein Abo nervt einfach nur. Eine Woche Testzeitraum ist obendrein viel zu kurz. Wenn ich meiner eigenen App traue, lasse ich sie ausgiebig vollumfänglich testen. So wirkt es, als würden die Entwickler schnell Abonnenten abgreifen wollen.

What is my use case?
1. Saving articles from the web OFFLINE in an archive that allows me to access information even when the link breaks or the article disappears.
2. Highlighting
3. Annotation/note taking
4. Export of highlights/notes/passages either manually per article or automatic via integration
5. Search throughout library

I’ve done extensive research and tried a lot of stuff. There is no other app that provides these features. They either don’t save articles properly or provide no note taking or have no export function. Then you’d need something like Readwise which also costs you 60$ or so. diese App is the only app that provides all these seemingly easy features.

diese App is expensive though. 60$ for a read later app? Holy moly.

One downside that costs them one star: the search function is excruciatingly slow and therefore unusable. Since it’s a premium feature that’s inaccessible and should be fixed soon considering the price tag.

Especially the voices. The only downside to reading international texts aloud is the lack of support for voices in languages other than English, e.g. the German text sounds like someone making fun of a Texan accent when read aloud.

diese App is the reason I started reading daily. The only app that supports Twitter Threads seamlessly unlike the Unroll sites. Newsletter integration works perfectly. What amazes me most is the support team. I never waited longer than 2 hours for a response. 10/10

The only read later app I wanna use with so many well thought features.

The App gets frequently updated! Also the devs developed a plugin for Obsidian! Great app, don’t wait & download it!

It’s neat, it works and they just keep making it better. I never regretted my commitment to diese App.

If you’re looking for something useful to do with the impulse to pick up your phone, look no further. diese App is a beautiful and functional read-it-later app. You can easily send articles, essays and podcasts via the share button and consume them in the app whenever you want.

The highlighting is smooth AND the export to Roam (that’s what I’m using, but I’m sure others are the same) works well.
