Couch – Read Later reviews
4.4 out of 5, based on 113 reviews.
What people like
- No annoying monthly subscription fees.
- Clean interface looks great on iPad.
- Developer fixes bugs very quickly.
What they complain about
- Sync between devices often fails completely.
- App crashes frequently on older Macs.
- Drains battery even when sitting idle.
Toller Webclipper
Webclips werden von unnötigem Ballast befreit, lesbar gemacht und Couch kann sogar PDF-Dateien verwalten. Dazu noch die Synchronisation über die iCloud und die Möglichkeit des Lizenzerwerbs über einen preislich fairen Einmalkauf. Ein tolles und empfehlenswertes Angebot für Leute wie mich, die um Softwareabos einen weiten Bogen machen und einen funktionsreichen Webclipper brauchen.
Not working
This app is not working upon share and then tap on twilar it is not saving anything
Ordnungsystem noch zu einfach
Gefällt mir gut, mir sind die Ordnungsmöglichkeiten aber zu wenig. Ich hätte gerne bei den intelligenten Sammlungen eine logische Verknüpfung (und/oder/nicht) und grundsätzlich die Möglichkeit sammlungen in Ordnern (und Unterordnern) zu gruppieren
Funktioniert häufig nicht
Bei Abo-Artikeln z.B. beim Spiegel funktioniert es überhaupt nicht. Bei freien Artikeln kann man Glück haben. Ist aber auch hier keine Garantie. Sehr schade.
Super (bis auf Sync)
Die App ist wirklich toll gemacht und bietet alles was ich mir von einer Read-later App erwarte, ABER: Der Sync zwischen den Geräten funktioniert (für mich) leider überhaupt nicht. Ich muss mir deshalb gezwungenermaßen eine andere App suchen. Sehr schade, da Couch glaube ich die beste Benutzererfahrung bietet (bis auf Sync). Ich habe bereits alles versucht: Apps neu installieren, “Validate and Fix” in den Einstellungen, nichts hilft.
Lovely designed
Thanks for continuing to work on Couch!
Pro Kauf nicht mehr gültig
Eigentlich nutze ich Couch sehr gerne und von Beginn der App an. Nun habe ich meinen damals gekauften Lifetime Pro-Status verloren und soll erneut 14,99 Euro für das Freischalten der Pro Features zahlen. Wenn ich versuche, den vorherigen In-App Kauf wiederherzustellen, wird mir von Couch gesagt, dass es keine vorherigen Käufe gäbe.
Great!
I use a free read-later apps and pocket is the one I used the longest and because of its integration with Mozilla it’s one of the only ones I can use no matter what platform or operating system I’m using (of which there are MANY 😂). However, I’m not a fan actually reading what I’ve saved on the Pocket app or website. I found several other solutions in the past but Couch is by far until superior option to enjoy reading content on! The UI is very cohesive & aesthetically pleasing (although I can suffer from some stuttering and crashing on occasion, but I’m OK with that considering it’s a one time purchase rather than yet another subscription and it’s a side project for the 2 developers - additionally these are just minor nitpick not things that make it actively difficult to use the app). Overall I am very pleased with the money spent on this app and I have yet to actually to a lot of the features available. Kudos to the developers and I look forward seeing future progress. 👏🏻 Just a couple of future requests I have are some more font options as well as just a few more customizations for the reader mode (possibly a grey or a darker sepia variant) to complement the dark theme. And I have only just started using the iCloud function for savings as a premium number, but I’m intrigued. Overall, like it’s absolutely super superior to reading content over the actual mobile pocket app and I think that it’s definitely packing a lot of quality considering the price. Keep up the great work!
Poorly coded - still the best option
Atrociously coded by an obviously unexperienced developer with little attention for detail. This should still be in Alpha stage. It’s slow, heavy and buggy as crazy. 'Home’ section is a nice idea with incredibly poor UX/UI. No developer with any self esteem would have released this in its current state… And yet, there is VERY SADLY no better option for a Mac client for Pocket. So we stick with this as our developer hopefully learns his trade a little better and can improve this app… or someone else makes a better coded client.
Soweit ganz nett
Aber die neue App läuft nur noch über die neuste MacOS Version. Bisschen übers Ziel hinausgeschossen. So gibt das nichts mit der interoperabilität im Apple Universum.
Schöne Read-later App
Liebevoll gestaltete Read-later App mit fairem Bezahlmodell. Ich habe mir die Pro-Version gegönnt und finde die Extra Features wie AI-Zusammenfassungen super. Alles funktioniert über iCloud / Apple Intelligence. Sehr schön! Würde 6/5 Sternen geben wenn das möglich wäre.
Bisher hat sie super funktioniert…
… seit dem Update heute geht nichts mehr am Rechner. Schade. Hängt sich leider immer wieder auf :(
A great start
Given that Pocket totally wrecked its apps with version 7 last year, I’ll support anyone making an effort to improve the Pocket experience, so I bought the pro and hope it has a bright future! This feels much nicer to use; it parses the articles in a more readable way, with plenty of options, and a nice customisable homescreen. The ‘videos’ panel is a really nice touch. One of the main things I’d love to see is pagination; reading articles like a book/magazine just helps immersion, not feeling like you’re not doomscrolling on a phone! I’d love to see a page turn option. Also a few more typefaces, more subtle link display options (beyond black and white mode, maybe just bold no underline), an index by website, and a big ‘random’ button (widget?) would be great additions. Hope some of these make it into future versions.
Strukturierung der Inhalte
Ich würde gerne die Sammlung nach Belieben strukturieren und aufbauen, was aber nicht geht. NmV ist aktuell nur eine (1) Ebene möglich, und eine weiteres „Verschachteln“ ist nicht möglich.
Goodlinks alternative
Visually nicer than Goodlinks, and has nice collection options. Unfortunately it is a bit slower when opening up articles. Hopefully some under the hood improvements can help it out.
Einfach unglaublich … - eigentlich null Sterne
Auf dem iPad Pro 12' stürzt die App immer in dem Moment ab, in dem man den im EINGANG abgelegten Text lesen möchte. - Nahezu 10 € in den Sand gesetzt. Wirklich: Eine App, die ihre Aufgabe eben nicht erledigt, hatte ich noch nie. (Eine Rückforderung des bezahlten Betrages wurde abgewiesen. Ebenfalls unglaublich.)
Gute Alternative zum Original
Nachdem ich mich nicht mit Google bei Pocket einloggen konnte, geht es immerhin mit Pocket-Zugangsdaten. Die App hat ein einfaches, sauberes Design. Es gibt ein paar interessante Features, wie die Autorenfilterung. Was ich persönlich bei der Suche vermisse ist die Möglichkeit der logischen Verknüpfung von Tags. Genau wie in der Pocket-App kann immer nur genau ein Tag angezeigt werden. Somit hat die App für mich noch keinen Mehrwert. Vielleicht tun das die Collections, aber so genau erschließt sich mir das Feature nicht. Eine genauere Beschreibung des Features würde mich vielleicht vom Kauf überzeugen
Gutes Tool aber kritischer Stromverbrauch
Couch gefällt mir als Ersatz für bekannte andere Lösungen wie Instapaper. Der Stromverbrauch der App im Idle ist allerdings extrem hoch. Unterwegs zieht es damit nicht nur den Akku vom MacBook leer, sondern lässt auch die Lüfter drehen, obwohl die App nur im Hintergrund sitzt. Das Problem muss unbedingt angegangen werden.
Best of the bunch
Top notch link collector with duplicate checking and iCloud sync and beautiful UI. Excellent import options and exceptional reader built in. Works with App Store and Amazon links too. Responsive developer. And very reasonable lifetime option. Background play for videos would be my one wish. So you could pop it out and watch/listen in the background.
Safari crashing /freezing on 16 pro max
Latest iOS version, couch 4.01… have to request my payment back
payware
this app has the pay-once feature, but you'll have to buy it if you'd like to really test it. come on - why should I pay just to change the theme color?!
Seriously underrated
This app is modern, clean, fast and fully featured. The free version is already great, while the Pro features are a relatively inexpensive upgrade. The developer was quick to fix a bug I reported, and even shares his Trello board publicly, so you can see what he’s working on. It’s always been better than the Pocket apps, and now that Pocket is no more, I’d say it’s essential.
Not functioning
I downloaded and it worked ok so paid for the premium version and now it won’t work at all. Not syncing at all, nothing saves and it isn’t communicating with Pocket. Have requested a refund.
Price = $12
It works for saving text, it can't full web clips offline though and the thumbnail is small so theres no point of this app
Edit: 29/05/2025
Edit: 29/05/2025. I’ve adjusted rating to reflect how far this app has come and how much I use and regard it as a stable must-have on all my devices. Amazing job by the developers and a great and easy migration assistance from the soon-to-be defunct Pocket. It all worked smoothly and just a literal one-button tap and all items migrated over. Fantastic work. The updates and overall fluidity, customisation, solidness, performance….i could go on but let’s just say it’s a no brainer app I always install on any and every new device etc. It’s come a long long long way since I got in on the early adopter time and even then you could tell it was greatness in the making. So developers, well done and thank you for this. It truly deserves its praise 👌. Many thanks.
Extremely buggy
I was so excited to find a slick polished app for Pocket. This app had a lot going for it and seemed to satisfy my requirements. But it is extraordinarily buggy and unreliable. Just opening the app seems to crash it. After you let it crash a few times, it finally comes up and there is w sync spinner which never stops. I wish I could use this app, but alas it doesn't work enough of the time to really be a replacement for Pocket.
Great potential, very buggy
Apps looks great, feels very buggy though. Bought the Pro either way, hope the devs can fix it :)
Doesn't do what it claims
It says it syncs with your existing Pocket account. It does not. I even paid the extra $2.99 to see if maybe the pro version would help. It did not. It loads maybe 50 or so older saves from my Pocket account but none of the recent ones. A waste of time and money.
IS NOT WORKING
THE APP IS NOT WORKING! IT PERMITS YOU CREATE A COLLECTION BUT NOT TO ADD TAGS FOR YOUR COLLECTION
thank you!
thank you for making this great client for Pocket. the official Mac Pocket app hasn't been updated in 4 years and was starting to get buggy on me. This is one is a big improvement. thanks again!
Great app!
This is really a nice app for reading articles saved to Pocket, much better than the Pocket app. It's easy to organize articles and to customize the view. Display of articles is customizable with font size etc. You can tell this app was made for IPad and isn't just a blown up version of an IPhone app. The price is reasonable (no dumb subscriptions) and well worth it. I look forward to seeing what the developer has in store for the app. It would be nice to be able to highlight text and maybe to share it but those are small things. I highly recommend this app!
