大明 (ID: 0000008c05d69301) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/10/2023 Take a look at what happened: I was reading four articles on the same website using Chrome (four web pages with the same prefix), and I saved one of them using the Goodlink Chrome extension. Guess what happened? Yes, the other three web pages were also identified as saved. So now I can't save the other three articles using the extension anymore, and I'm really frustrated.

Phil Heller (ID: 000000351a13f7ee) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/03/2023 Cannot sign in! Sign-In window closes after successful signin, yet goodlinks is grayed out. Bummer

Elmoon Wang (ID: 000000a5fc38c786) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/17/2023 I like the app and it pretty good until it recently broke on Chrome. It doesn't seem able to save a link with Chrome extension. It just show "Error!" when you try to save a link via Chrome extension. Is there any others seeing this issue? Let me know if can bypass this problem.

Eugenio Mejia (ID: 000000d0789965c5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/18/2022 The app is great, the one problem that keeps me from using it is that the Chrome extension (Brave browser) keeps logging me out every time I close the browser. I keep having to re-login to Apple. It might be a problem specific to Brave, but I don't have that problem with any other extensions.
