Matter: Save. Read. Grow.

The reading experience is great, adding is super easy, and functionality wise, I don’t think we could ask for more.

- It’s cleaner than all competitor apps - It has a bunch of free features that are paid for in other apps (listening to an article, highlighting, etc..)

The app is really great on doing what’s is meant to do. But, sometimes somethings seems to don’t work. I just started to use the app and I’m realising that sometimes the export from the source into the app is not perfect. I don’t understand yet what’s happen. Then there sometimes that the article cannot be read, at least that opinion is not available. Also, when the export is done takes some time. I thing that as soon this issues are solved that this App could be a really game changer. I hope that will be soon.

When I heard that Pocket was being sunset, I scrambled to find a solution and I think that this will do just fine. I want to be able to add articles that I don’t have time to read in the moment, so that I can refer to them later, tag the article so that I can group the topics I want to read, and easily save from other sites. Matter ticks all of those boxes, but it also adds features I didn’t know I needed, like the ability to convert those articles to text and listen to them. For an information hog like myself, this has been invaluable because I can listen to the articles I’ve saved in the car or on a walk or while doing the dishes. At first, I was a little bummed out to have to pay for it, but considering I’ve lost all of my saved articles now three times in 30 years of digital existence because of companies going out of business, I’d rather support a company financially and keep it going!

Overall it does a good work but search needs work urgently

maybe it will save an article, but don't rely on it to do so

Pretty good app. The content is very much lacking. I’m a big proponent of female authors and for whatever reason content from female authors is completely lacking. I’ve “followed” and “favorited” female authors but the content is so narrow that I consistently am not provided with any articles from them. Most of the days out of the week there’s just no options. I’ve falling back to simply finding my own content for which there’s no reason for me to pay for this service anymore.

I’m a few months in now, and this app has become part of my daily routine. There are a few things that could be improved to make it perfect: (1) RSS limitations: with a standard like RSS, I don’t understand why so many legitimate feeds are not recognized (2) sometimes I’m afraid to open an article because I don’t want to be flooded with “since you read…” the next day (3) the reading minutes meter seems to not go away unless you uninstall and reinstall—I just don’t want to see this at all. I’m hoping more updates are coming—haven’t seen any updates in a while.

I used to use this app all the time. Now, despite paying for a subscription, the app doesn’t recognize I’ve paid. This feels like fraud.

Been using Matter for a couple months now, switched over from Pocket and I’m loving it! The feed is clean and the keyboard shortcuts for highlighting and notes are super convenient. I’ve especially enjoyed the ability to listen to my articles and cleanly save video and text in one queue. I’d really like the newsletters feature to work better for me. I got it all hooked up with email forwarding, and I can see them come in on the desktop version, but I do most of my reading on my phone, where I cannot find the Inbox. Hoping that this can be added to a menu in the future.
