## Instapaper Description
Instapaper is the simplest way to save and store articles for reading: offline, on-the-go, anytime, anywhere, perfectly formatted. 

Instapaper for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch provides a mobile-optimized text view that makes reading Internet content a clean and uncluttered experience. Instapaper also enhances the standard reading experience with features like text-to-speech.

- 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.
- Have your Instapaper articles narrated to you with text-to-speech. Just turn up the volume on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and relax!
- Sort your list of articles by popularity, date, and article length.
- Folders for easy organization.

## Instapaper Reviews in United States

### ****- "no tables !"
I really like Instapaper, it makes digesting long articles a lot easier and you can do it straight from the web. Their interface is a little more user friendly compared to the original websites though. I can't seem to highlight singular words on websites themselves, but it works fine in their interface. Also, please add compatibility for tables and charts! Images work great but tables get really messed up.
-- kai_on_reviews, 2024-12-19

### ***** "The best read later app of all time"
I’ve been using this on and off for over a decade. Yeah, Pocket caught my eye and I was on it for a bit but I am back to Instapaper for good because it’s simply better. It focuses on what the user needs, not what can make the company money. Pocket harvests your data and makes you pay for text while showing you ads. Instapaper simply lets you save what YOU want to read later. It doesn’t tell you what to read. Doesn’t have a need to try to entice you into staying on the app in hopes you read a suggested article so they get a cut of the ad money. Their premium features are very few but worth it if you like them and they don’t nag you to upgrade. If Mozilla really cared about user privacy like they claim they’d have integrated this app into their browser rather than the other one which may look slick but doesn’t offer much. Speaking of looks, the minimal design of Instapaper is everything you need in this app. No need to complicate it any further. I love this and always will.
-- Midori Moss, 2024-12-19

### ***-- "Summaries Broken"
Summaries are apparently disabled on random publications. Annoying.
-- JakeUsernameIsTaken, 2024-12-09

### ***-- "Almost"
I had been long considering switching to a different read-it-later app when I discovered this one and after seeing the interface and features, I was ready to jump ship from my old app. However, a huge downside for me was discovering that a feature as simple as notes (which in this app includes basic highlighting) is locked behind a paywall and you only get 5 free per MONTH, which I promptly used up in half of my first article. Unfortunately highlighting is one of the main reasons I use apps like this, so I will have to stick with my current app. To be fair it is a beautifully made app and it works well. I would have been happy to pay for more advanced features to support the devs, but this is the only app like this that I have tried that charges for highlighting text, which is a dealbreaker.
-- youngImagination, 2024-12-05

### ****- "Great app, wish it *didn't* download articles"
This is a nice app for keeping track of my to-read list but there's no way to not download offline copies. I wish I could disable this + also set my preference so that it always opens articles in their related app (if installed) or Safari.
-- kenmhaggerty, 2024-11-25

### ***** "Crash Report: Fixed"
Thanks!

FYI: the phone restart didn’t work, but the app deletion and reinstall did.

Re: The app won’t load. It crashes within a second. Not even enough time to see the name of the app. I’m on iPhone 15 Pro Max and running 17.7.1.
-- YKARaphael, 2024-11-13

### ***** "Widget?"
It would be soo nice to have an Instapaper widget, please!
-- Dirtbagg, 2024-11-06

### ***-- "Useful, but Read Aloud"
Read Aloud tends to halt randomly and never resume. Sometimes with first sentences, sometime quite a ways into an article.
-- Murnen, 2024-09-27

### ***** "Instapaper > Pocket"
After using Pocket since it was new, switched to Instapaper because Pocket removed way to many basic features. So happy I switched. Far better, better design, better fonts, etc. Might even consider paying just to support them.
-- jingai, 2024-08-26

### *---- "Speak feature is broken"
The speak feature freezes on most articles after reading a few lines of text. Please fix.
-- wearshades, 2024-07-14

### ***** "Huge Productivity Increase"
I'll load up a list of articles I want/need to read and listen to them as I drive or do other things. Don't know what I would do without this app!
-- BillyTheKid793, 2024-07-05

### ***-- "Search is Broken"
iOS 17.5.1
Instapaper 8.6.2
Premium subscription

Instapaper will search for text and identify which documents have that text, however the “Search in Article” option within an article has disappeared. It use to show up clicking the three dots for more,  is no longer in the drop down. 

How can that functionality  be restored?  Search is virtually useless without it.
-- Arvadazrl, 2024-06-24

### *---- "Saves nothing!!!"
Just downloaded to my iPad. Tried to save some videos from YouTube. Pop up says “saved”. Go to app all are listed but none will open. Get ads for NFL Network and others. Terrible waste of time!!!!
-- Trenbew, 2024-06-18

### ***** "Better than Pocket 👍"
I used to be a Pocket user but this app is so much better. I really enjoy using it with my E-ink tablet. Highly recommend. 👍
-- Kuan San, 2024-06-17

### *---- "Price increase is not reasonable"
Price increase is insane. Bye bye Instapaper.
-- thierrytunes, 2024-06-13

### *---- "AI Summaries Awful & Ruin Usability of the app"
Every time I try to swipe to turn the page it turns on the useless AI summary feature. And there’s no way to disable this. Newsflash bozos… I use this app to actually READ. I don’t want a crappy AI summary of the article I’m actually trying to read. Stop burning money on this feature, or at least let users turn it off!
-- mojofro, 2024-05-15

### *---- "Summaries are an intrusive joke"
Can't disable them, and they took over the swipe to turn page gesture. If you don't pay for premium they nag you.
-- waldo , 2024-05-10

### ***-- "Please fix Speak bug"
The recent update was supposed to fix the issue with the Speak tool freezing but it's still doing it. Please fix this. The app is great otherwise but this makes it very difficult to use.
-- Luna J Magroir, 2024-05-06

### ****- "Can I Download EPUBs???"
I love this app so so much, but I wish I could download EPUBs to it! I has my favorite reading settings, so I want to read all my books here! Does anyone know if this is possible?
-- DylQuil, 2024-05-05

### ***** "Hey Guys, love the app."
Your Speak feature isn’t working. Deleted and reloaded the app still an issue, can we get another update.
-- Bevin McHenry, 2024-03-23
