  1. 5/5Easy to read

    Quick read and clear interface.

    Hainanzai · 7 Aug 2026

  2. 4/5Love the easy AI

    Five suggestions. 1. Freeze the AI summary so it stays on top while scrolling the article. 2. Minimize the top and bottom bars while scrolling the article to maximize display. 3. Store AI output in iCloud to sync across devices. For example I summarize an article on iPad and revisit it on iPhone. My AI summary is shown on iPhone instantly since it synced from the iPad/icloud. 4. implement an “ask AI follow-up” for questions about the summary/article. 5. Long press article card for more options including AI summary, share, read later etc.

  5. 4/5功能都挺不错,特别是BYOK,无需再订阅会员什么的

    但是,老实说,UI太简陋,一股子粗糙的android味道。。。。
