I tend to save any web articles I want to read that are longer than a few paragraphs to Instapaper so I have the benefits of the clean reading layout and the app remembering my position across devices. Folders are a great way, too, to save things like recipes
Great on both iOS and web
I’ve been using Instapaper for a while now and thoroughly enjoy using its iOS and web platforms. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a solid read later type app.
Concerned developers have given up
No updates for 5 months, no ios 14 updates. App needs work especially the pagination feature. Developers have stopped replying to emails and I wonder if thier work at Pinterest is a problem.
Needs an iOS 14 touch-up
This app is a must-have IMO, but is a little long in the tooth now.
The main issue I have with it now is that it’s slow to be shown on iOS 14’s Share sheet. I used to be able to quickly tap “Share” and tap Instapaper’s icon from any web page. Now, I have to open the Share page, close the Share page, and then re-open it in order to share to Instapaper. This is a real killer; this was a main way I queued content. Without snappiness here, this is restricting my usage of the app.
The text to speech feature could use some TLC (“74M” is read aloud as “seventy four emm” instead of “seventy four million”). I’d also love the ability for the Speak feature to auto-archive at the end of each article
It feels like scrolling has got a bit janky in iOS 14?
Overall, a great app, a must-have, just needs a fresh kick of paint!
Great app. 1 improvement recommended.
Great app for reading web articles later. One recommendation to improve it would be to pay Google’s Wavenet to read the articles, rather than the mechanical “Lost in Space” robot they have reading articles now. I’d pay extra for Wavenet reading functionality.
Life Changing
amazing app! Love it
Brilliant.
Just brilliant. I use it every day.
The best gets better
Remains awesome
One of the best apps around
Without doubt Instapaper is one of the best apps going around. Definitely in its own category.
The app is already good but it just keeps getting and better. The latest release has introduced an improved version of notes which looks excellent.
The fonts and display of the app is excellent. One of the key reasons why I use this app on a daily basis. Text just looks gorgeous.
