| 2024-12-19 | Jo | | 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>" |

| 2023-12-15 | generic | | This 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? |

| 2023-06-16 | jellybeanfeind | | Handy 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. |

| 2023-05-29 | Dawid Ferenczy | | The 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. |
