MNOE (ID: 000000f525ba5507) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/06/2017 Unbrauchbar, da Lesezeichen in Ordnerstruktur nicht aufrufbar. Hat man viele Lesezeichen in verschiedenen Ordnern abgelegt, werden einem die Ordner zwar angezeigt, aber öffnen kann man die Ordner nicht. Und damit lassen sich die Lesezeichen auch nicht aufrufen. Die eingebaute Suchfunktion ist ebenfalls sinnlos, da ich mir die Namen all meiner Lesezeichen nicht merke. Schade eigentlich!

Emanuele Vicinelli (ID: 000000342d7448f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/17/2017 Fenomenale, perfetta per chi cerca qualcosa di minimalista e con poche opzioni (si può cambiare solo la posizione della barra di ricerca, il colore di fondo, e si può sceglere se far vedere o meno le proprie app). Da tempo cercavo una cosa del genere che fosse soddisfacente.
