Ratings and reviews

I am a former reader from Pocket, a reading app similar to this one. I must say Pocket's overall appearance and experience was much better. I like Instapaper it's just that Pocket did it better. Pocket is defunct now so Instapaper it is. Hopefully, the appearance and user experience will only get better as we go. Once again, I'm hopeful. 🙂

This is an extremely useful app. I use it everyday to store articles to read later, or to store in folders long term. The only issue I've noticed is that frankly, when listening to a longish article, the app stops playing and it's not possible to start it again even though it still appears in notifications. Is there a fix for this problem, or is somethings coming in the near future. Thanks. p.s. I wish I could list folders alphabetically.

this would be five stars except for two issues. The app frequently tells you an article has been saved but then when you go look it's not there. Happens way too often. Also the article search is locked behind a paywall which is frustrating. Fix the saving bug and I might pay up
