- Rated 1 out of 5by generic, a year agoThis doesn't work. First I had to search reviews to find out how to use it (button in search bar), but the button requests a log in to my account. When clicked, this goes to wikipedia website which I was already logged in to. Tried logging in and out, not working. What is the point of this?

- Rated 3 out of 5by jellybeanfeind, a year agoHandy for the sake of just adding something to my saved articles, but I wish I actually had access to my saved lists on desktop, both for saving articles and pulling them back up. At least it does what it says it does on the tin.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dawid Ferenczy, a year agoThe extension allows to save a Wikipedia article to the default reading list.
But that's it, it doesn't implement any other reading list feature - a particular reading list to save the article into cannot be selected, it's not possible to remove the article from a reading list, reading lists cannot be managed or even viewed, so it's actually a "write-only" feature - you can save articles, but you cannot view them, so it's close to useless.
I'm using the reading lists to save articles I'm interested in while on a mobile phone to read and research them later while on a desktop computer. But there's unfortunately no way to access those reading lists on a desktop. - Rated 3 out of 5by xfox360, 2 years agoWould love the addon because the idea is great. But it doesn't even show up. :(
EDIT: its in the address bar lmao
You should make it a bit easier to see visually. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16339559, 2 years agoIt's better than nothing. It does only one thing: add articles to your account's default reading list with a single click; you can not view or edit the contents of any reading list via desktop browser, however, since I typically want to save articles while I'm on desktop to read on my phone later when I get a spare moment, and not vice versa, this is adequate for my purposes.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Codrin.B, 4 years agoThis is way too basic. I would like to browse/manage/edit my reading lists from the app in the browser. All you can do is add articles to an "invisible" reading list and then find them in the app
- Rated 1 out of 5by TheConservativeCrocodile, 4 years agoThere is literally no way to view your reading list or remove entries. All you can do is click the icon to add articles to the default list.
That isn't helpful at all! Why does this even exist? Just another Wikimedia Foundation project that nobody asked for.
Do they really expect users to add entries on PC and then open the app on your phone to view or delete entries?
You already implemented the sync feature, which is far more complicated. So, why don't you go all the way and add editing and viewing to the browser extension? - Rated 4 out of 5by JKurosaki, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Dergo32, 5 years agoOnly allows syncing to reading lists, not viewing them. To do that, you need to use the app. Wikimedia really needs to implement a proper article saving feature that works across both the app and the web versions of Wikipedia.
