- Save to Instapaper from other iOS applications with one tap.

Additional Features:
- Control every aspect of your reading experience with a variety of font, color themes, and spacing options. 
- Find that great quote you want to remember and share? Instapaper makes it easy to highlight  and add notes to text in any article.

- Sort your list of articles by popularity, date, and article length.

## Instapaper Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Simple & Elegant"
I love the UNIX like simplicity of Instapaper. It does one thing and it does it exceptionally well. Simple and elegant in both form and function this is a must-have app for anyone looking to take back control of their time and attention.
-- Sven Agnew, 2020-05-17

### ***** "The Coolest App 👌🏽"
This is definitely one of the coolest apps on my phone. I’ve been using Instapaper since 2012 and have never been disappointed. It works! It simply does what it’s meant to do!
Keep up the good work! 👊🏽
-- Igmandz, 2019-06-12

### ***** "LynnTee"
Very excited to have discovered this app and I'm loving the order it has brought to all the saved articles across my devices.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! One request of the developers ... please provide an alpha sort for folders ?
-- LynnTem, 2017-08-04

### ***** "Used Instapaper for years"
They will have to surgically remove it from me. And I will still be for it to stay.
-- Fetsiboomsticks, 2017-07-29

### ***** "InstaLOVEIT"
A thoughtful and tasteful app for people who love reading web content.
-- Ridgbak, 2012-05-10

### *---- "What a disappointment"
When trying to save articles for later reading the last thing I need is to be asked for a username and password, and then fighting to be recognized when told my username is no longer recognized. After a significant investment in time trying to get this app working in Safari, I expect it to just work.  Which it doesn't when needed.  Save your money and look elsewhere, the concept is good but the execution sorely lacking.
-- 25gav, 2012-03-25

### ***** "So easy, so useful"
Because of it's integration with so many other apps and services, this is the app to have if you read. When you don't have time, you just send to Instapaper (from almost anywhere) and it's available off line whenever wherever.
