RealWekk, Needs work Man, you all are almost there. Some if not all of the drawbacks may not be your fault.
If this app worked like I thought it would, it may very well change my life. I'm plagued by valuable information I've saved, but don't remember which bookmark/browser/app/notebook/device & on & on & on. However, selecting text in iOS chrome/pocket did not present the yellow dot option from the demo. After toggling Liner on, I'm presented with this error: 'Share web page or URL to Liner to start highlighting. Using only sentence or image is blocked by Apple'.
If I need to open/share across several different apps, it defeats the purpose for me. 5 stars for a brilliant idea, minus 2 for poor integration execution.
Developer Response, You can open/share across almost every different apps. Please tap LINER button in the share menu on the 'Page share sheet' not on the 'Tooltip share sheet'. RealWekk, Needs work Man, you all are almost there. Some if not all of the drawbacks may not be your fault.

Bags, Great in many ways, stinks in one specific way Liner is an amazing app, I use it for exactly what it was made for: highlighting websites. I would give it a higher review however, if there was some mechanism so that you could go back to the place in the webpage where you left off on your last highlight. As it is now it takes you to the very top of the webpage that you were working on, with no way of going to the location of the most recent or any highlights for that matter. If you were to make that change I would definitely improve my review.
