The app for your likes, stars, social bookmarks and favorites.

"To me, Favs is a web nerd’s dream come true already." — macstories.net
"Favs is fantastically useful, and very pretty, too" — cultofmac.com
"Sweet App: Favs" — shawnblanc.net

If you are using social networks, you are also creating favorites. On Facebook you ‘like’, on Twitter and Google Reader you ‘star’, on Delicious and Pinboard you ‘bookmark’ and so on.

== Find Favorites ==

Instead of spreading your favorites across different networks, use Favs to sync them to your Mac. Dont waste any more time on searching for your favorite content - Favs has a powerful search feature build right into the application that makes finding what you like a breeze.

== Follow Favorites ==

Many favorites are public, for example on Twitter, Flickr or Vimeo. This allows you to follow the favorites of persons you like and just see their hand-picked articles. For those sources Favs marks new entries as ‘unread’ and you can use Favs as a sophisticated Reader app.

This app is a complete waste of money. Does not allow 2 way communication. If I read a Favorite in Twitter, Cannot unfavorite after reading.

Poor Facebook Implementation

Every time you try to log in to Facebook from Favs is a launch of your default web browser to Facebook. Favs, itself, just keeps going in circle with the web browser. You are never able to log in to Facbook inside Favs. Just terrible!

Dissappointing

Facebook does not load properly, and it does not include Tumblr. This app would be cool if it let you swithc between a live feed and your favorites, but its literally just a list of things you like on Facebook and tweets you have starred on twitter. No good for anything else really.

very promising app

I have been dreaming of an app like this for years. I star/favorite/mark to read later items ALOT and the ability to view said items in one place is an info geeks nirvana. It currently has some limitations but hopefully the dev will continue to add and improve the app. For some reason the app can only view Twitter favorites of unprotected accounts. I however perfer to have my account protected so I couldnt get to mine. I assume this is an API issue with Twitter that will get addressed. The other thing that seems imperative to be addressed is two way syncing. I was not able to unstar articles or un-favorite articles. One can mark them as "read" or "remove the item" from within the app but the best I can tell its just for in the app. Again, very promising APP……… I look forward to changing my three stars to a 4 or hopefully 5 in the near future!

Meh

Seems like an expensive app for what it does.

Great start

Im quite happy with Favs as it is, though do agree that it would be better if it had two way communication with the sources as an option (though I would not want everything that I read in Favs to be "unfavorited" in the source app, personally). I have no desire to link Favs to Facebook, so I cant comment on the problems others have had there. I was interested in Favs based on the articles at Mac Stories so decided to check it out while in beta but wasnt convinced it would suit my needs. I was wrong. Favs fills a need that I didnt really realize I had unitl I started using this app. I was favoriting stuff at all sorts of sites/apps - mostly Twitter, Instapaper and Pinboard - and was then never going back to those (often excellent) materials. I wasnt really taking advantage of all the great content I was encountering because there was no smooth way to integrate reviewing them all into my workflow. Enter Favs. Now I can easily and quickly review all of those things that I deemed worthy of favoriting and actually read it, act on it or whatever I want to do with it. Good stuff is no longer languishing. Im pleased.

well done!

I just bought this, and it works really well! I havent seen anything else that shows all my favorites from Github, Stackoverflow, Twitter, and Facebook. Please add support for Quora and Wikipedia, Thanks!
