User reviews
Appears to work as advertised. Installed the add-on while already logged in to Wikipedia, and the add-on detected that I was logged in and worked immediately. Note that you have to have reading list syncing already enabled on your mobile device. One downside is that you can only save to your general reading list (called "Saved" on mobile and "Saved pages" on desktop browser), not any of the named/themed lists that you can create in the mobile app. You also cannot read FROM that list via this plugin, only save TO it. If you want to read from your list, you have to find it on your profile page at the Meta Wikimedia website, under "Special:ReadingLists/<your_account_name>"
