Pros and cons of Lightly app for iPhone and iPad

Lightly app good for

This is just the App I was missing for my iPhone! I am frequent Evernote user and finally I am able to manage my reads in Evernote and have all in one place! This is fantastic! BUT! Please allow me to edit my notes in Evernote and not only in Lightly!!! Come on! Dont be evil! I need to add checkmarks or comments to articles. I can not do this in Lightly. I can only highlight stuff, which is good but not enough. And there is no ligthly ab for Mac, so... Thanks. As soon as I can do this, you get 5 stars from me :-)
This is an app that will soon have me asking "What did I do without it?" The bookmarklets dont quit on you after 10 minutes, like EverClip, making this the de-facto iOS Evernote clipper for me. Good work!
The Lightly bookmarklet works flawlessly with Safari and makes clipping to Evernote a breeze. Very useful. Well done.
Perfect. 1 suggestion and 2 requests: - add ability to add Page with original style and formatting (just in case there is issue with the simplified readability view) - add watch for other browsers - Opera Mini, Coast by Opera, Chromo, Puffin etc. - make iPad version of the app.

Some bad moments

Stop syncing with Evernote, dev promised solution but so far nothing. Informed me that the problem only occur with those who heavily use Evernote. I hope to resolve, while works, was very useful. Parou de funcionar a sincronização com o evernote, prometeram solução mas até agora nada. Me informaram que o problema ocorre com quem usa muito o Evernote. Espero que resolvam, enquanto funcionou, foi bastante útil. -----------------------------------
At a glance, this app seems well crafted. But after attempting to use the app it becomes clear that I dont completely understand what the tool seems to want to do. Its not exactly the simple web clipper (Clearly for iOS) which I assumed it is. Why, for instance, does it not tend to clip images? Why does it lock notes in Evernote? Why do I need to edit these notes in Lightly? While I am
This developer is the team who create everclip. The winner of evercup 2012 This app has a good start.but some features should be added 1. Sync with Pocket and Instapaper 2. Login to some websites to see the subscribers only content
The app does what it says for most web pages; however it completely fails on articles in Wikipedia. It actually clips a different, but related, article (sometimes a different section of the Wikipedia article). It also fails to highlight the text that was copied while in Safari (the text cant be highlighted because it is not in the web-clipping in Lightly). I found this very frustrating! When this gets fixed I will raise my review to 5 stars.
An interesting concept that could solve a workflow hole for me flawlessly, but... 1. Why wont Safari highlight? 2. Why on sync to Evernote does the Evernote post become read only because it came from Lightly? 3. Why 2 way sync so that now if I delete an article in Lightly its also gone in Evernote. The sync works fine, but then the post is stuck in read only limbo. If Lightly simply highlighted, processed, and pushed into Evernote seamlessly (keeping the original highlight), Id be much happier. Now Ive got Evernote notes that arent usable for writing more notes on.
Disappointed. Not worth the money. Lots of work to be done to make it a solid productivity/sharing tool. Cant edit in Evernote Source URL not sent to Evernote. Doesnt capture many web pages (tried using Chrome)
