What can you use the app for?

LaterThis is an online tool that can be used to save and manage a list of links that you would like to look at some time in the future, but don’t have chance to look at right at the moment. LaterThis has been designed specifically to be as easy to use as possible and to make using the internet less stressful and more fun. LaterThis doesn’t require any downloads; you can start using it in just a few minutes as long as you have a computer connected to the internet. LaterThis makes it possible to store any links that you think look interesting, you can then revisit them when you have more time, or are in the mood to look at them. This means that you don’t have to add lots of sites to your bookmarks, you can keep them all here so that they are ready to hand. The web has tones of information which can make it very easy to get distracted when searching for anything. LaterThis should help you to stay on topic by storing all the irrelevant links that you would still like to look at later.

What is the history and popularity of the app?

LaterThis was founded by a Swedish web developer, Magnus Hjelm and was created specifically to solve his own problem with dozens of bookmarks in his favorite’s folder. After a brief run and successful run with a free version, the company switched to a premium model with a fee of $5 a month. The versatility of the app has added to its appeal as you can use it across platforms.

What are the differences to other apps?

LaterThis is a very basic bookmarking service which makes it easy to use, other bookmarking sites have more advanced features like sharing bookmarks. LaterThis offers the option to save links completely web based without installing the toolbar button. The charge of $5 a month makes it stand out from free bookmarking services, but not necessarily in a positive way.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

LaterThis is a very well designed tool; you simply add a small bookmark in your browser. When you find a link that you are interested in keeping you can then drag it and drop it onto this favorite link. This makes it very easy to add new links. You can then log into your account to search through or browse your various links. The links can be searched according to their tags which will make it easy to find whatever you’re after.

How does the registration process work?

Signing up to a LaterThis account is easy. You just need to enter your email, and then choose a username and password. You can also use an OpenID if you have one to avoid signing up for so many different sites. You will be sent an email; however you don’t have to do anything with it.

What does it cost to use the application?

LaterThis charges a monthly fee of $5 per person.

Who would you recommend the application to?

LaterThis is perfect for anyone that often finds themselves getting distracted on the internet. It can be used to save links that are interesting to you so that you can look at them another time. But there are lots of other bookmarking services with more advanced features to choose from.
