4.5/5

What do you like best about Wakelet?

I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, and found it really useful. Previously I have been using Medium to post my blogs, but now using it to share informative, educational resources as it is like a combination of Google Classroom and Medium. It's easy to use, due to which I use it a lot nowadays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wakelet?

Nothing as such, as its UI and navigation is easy to understand, even for a newcomer. Just one thing, it doesn't have much of a collaborative third-party app access like Classroom and other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wakelet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wakelet solves the problem of organizing and sharing content efficiently by allowing users to curate articles, videos, images, and notes into collections. This actually benefits me by providing an organized platform to present my content, making it easy to share and collaborate. For me, I had shifted from Medium to this, as its interface is easy and can be shared with students and colleagues for educational purposes, which makes it a perfect combination of 'Medium' and 'Google Classroom' due to its collection feature. Only one issue I faced is its integration with educational tools which would have enhanced the learning experience a little more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wakelet solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had shifted from google classroom to Wakelet as my daily personal as well as public study material, informative blog sharing platform. It solved my problems which I had in google classroom as, it required to add google account, it required specific time managed code. This doesn't require much as well as the user interface is student as well as user-friendly. I posted several study as well as research blogs here which I shared on the internet as well, using embedded links which google classroom didn't allow me to do.

"Wakelet is a great way to create and share a resource list with students and colleagues"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Wakelet?

Wakelet allows you to create a list of websites by yourself and share them with anyone, but it also lets you collaborate with a group so that you can crowdsource a list of curated links Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wakelet?

With Wakelet, sometimes the thumbnail view of a page is too small and low resolution to be of much use. Also, it would be helpful if repeated links were highlighted so that they were easier to remove. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Information Retention & Sharing System"

5/5

What do you like best about Wakelet?

I have been a massive fan of Wakelet since I started using it eight months ago, and it is constantly updated! It is a hundred times better than bookmarking websites and a great way to keep articles and pages I want to revisit and share (but do not want to be placed on a to-do list).

The design is seamless, works right in my browser and saves me so much time keeping important websites, documents, notes, youtube links, etc.

It allows me to organize all my links by putting them in collections (with a design that shows a summary and a picture to help jog my memory) in a highly visual, organized, and well-designed space.

With the iOS and Android versions, you can add articles to your collections directly from the android / iOS share menu.

It has full device coverage with iOS, Android apps, Chrome, Edge and Firefox browser extensions and a web app (which you can use without having to install the web extensions).

It’s easy to organize, annotate, and vary collections by uploading items in lots of different formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wakelet?

No dislikes. A feature suggestion would be to have a Kanban (Trello-like) board view, which would allow dragging and dropping of saved items between collections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wakelet solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a safety professional and am constantly reviewing pieces of legislation, regulator websites, and various case studies, court findings, and industry knowledge. Often there is an unexpected need to revisit or use this information again. Wakelet allows me to maintain a knowledge database that enables me to identify the previously reviewed knowledge quickly and easily and, if necessary, share it with others.
