On the whole, I'm sorry I bought it. I would say it's only useful if you want to save a few pages quickly and don't want to create bookmarks. I'm sure there are better apps out there -- for which I will begin looking.

mailed the developer *ages* ago and he promised a fix, but so far...

• Translucency adjustment function
• Window resize / reposition function
• Simpler delete - Command-Del does not delete links as intuitively as it could. Things like this should do stuff like that perfectly
• Browser contextual item - would be faster than sometimes fiddly drag'n'drop. Its got to be mega-easy or there's not much point
• One-touch hotkey - better still, simply one global hotkey to add the page in a browser as link
• Maybe some kind of folders option rather than just tags for those that want that type of organisation

• Keyword auto-typing
It seems the keywords are not memorized or have a smart-typing function. If I type in "basketball" for a URL / article, it seems I have to type in all over again for the next one rather than just typing "b" and the keyword is auto-filled. This is a great time saver and finger saver that your program needs.
• Extended Search?
i.e. Is it possible to extend the search capability from not just the URL/title and keywords, but the content of the page bookmarked?

If tagging gets fixed, I'll change my rating. Right now, though, it is a one star.

I probably should not mention this, but he did refund the purchase amount in my case and I've made a donation in his name to a charity for his kindness.
I do hope the issue will one day be resolved, but I will have to try something else in the meantime.

I do wish that the menu bar mode had an option to turn off the translucency and to adjust how the menu drops down. Standard Mac OS menu bar items drop down to one side of the menu bar icon rather than the dropdown menu being centered on the menu bar icon.
As far as additional features go, I hope that the developer will allow for the creation of multiple collections of URLS, so that I can manage URL sets by topic rather than having to tag everything to keep it organized. Preview images with the option to set the file size of the cached preview would also be a great addition.
The developer was quick to respond to my inquiry about whether Readability will be supported in later versions. Readability compatibility is a possibility but not certain yet. I am confident that the application is under active development and look forward to future features.

"Quiet Read" is free but the title says "Pro".
Can't have it both ways... That's just iffy. :/

Just call it shareware and we all know what's going on right from the beginning. I'm far less inclined to even try a product that goes in for this sort of misrepresentation to get you in.
Please, developers, take note.
